UPDATE: Police investigate discovery of two more dead bodies

Police are investigating the discovery of the dead body of a man in Roseau on Saturday morning.

Police PRO, Inspector Pellam Jno Baptiste said the matter is being treated as a “suspected unlawful homicide.”

He said around 4:30 am on Saturday, May 27, Fabien George, 38, of Massacre, sustained a wound to his lower abdomen on River Bank in the capital in an area known as Washington.

James was transported to the Accident and Emergency Department of the Princess Margaret Hospital where he was examined and pronounced dead.

Police have also confirmed that they are investigating the death of 50-year-old Derrick James of New Town.

Jno Baptiste said at around 8:30 am on Wednesday the 24th of May, the lifeless body of James was discovered in his place of residence.

Family members told DNO that James’ body had several wounds including his eyes plucked out.

Anyone with information which can assist the police in both matters should call the Criminal Investigation Department at 266-5164, 266-5165 and 266-5119 or Crime Stoppers Dominica at 1-800-8477.

    What is the difference between manslaughter and unlawful killing?
    The main difference between the two is that voluntary manslaughter requires an intent to kill or cause serious bodily harm while involuntary manslaughter does not. Premeditation or deliberation, however, are elements of murder and not of manslaughter.

    In English law, unlawful killing is a verdict that can be returned by an inquest in England and Wales when someone has been killed by one or several unknown persons. The verdict means that the killing was done without lawful excuse and in breach of criminal law.

    A fish rots from the head. A country without law and order ain’t going any where fast. Dominica is ahead of itself in this regard. I am ashamed to say it but it is real that we live in a barbaric society.

      Yes, when you kill an enemy soldier on the battlefield. To kill a man, you never met and who has never done you any personal harm, only because you are told to do so by your country. That is called heroism and you may get a medal for it.

    Once again, Dominicans have no idea of what is actually happening in their environment, the high murder % is not accidental, Dominica is quickly evolving as a major transshipment of drugs to the European Union, as a matter of fact the DEA office in Barbados, is getting ready to zero in on the nature island. The cocaine use on the island, is minimal compare to the other islands, but if left unattended , Dominica is heading for a rough ride knowing that there is nothing in place for the incoming epidemic. Being vigilant moving forward, is like having cocoa in the sun and looking out for rain,if the youths of the country are not educated towards the catastrophic effects of cocaine both powder and crack, Dominica will have a rude awakening,this is a message to my country of many rivers,the ball is in the court of gov’t, primary and secondary schools, mothers and fathers and the entire Dominican community,your job starts now.Bob.Hotep.

    It’s time for spiritual revolution, come to Islam, give up these man-made doctrine polytheistic beliefs in materialism, liberalism, secularism and worship of three deities like the triune god (trinity). Come to pure monotheism, the way of all the prophets peace be upon them. Follow the true way of Abraham peace be upon him. He was neither a Jew nor a Christian since the Torah and Gospels came after him; he was an upright monotheist, a worshiper of only One God, Allah (Arabic name for God).

    Do not be fooled by western media about Islam and Muslims. Only through application of Islam can societies truly be reformed. The Dominican people have had hundreds of years under a way of life yet their societies are getting worse. Why believe in a system when there was a divorce between church and state?

    O people of wisdom and understanding, look into Islam, do not be fooled by the ignorant shallow minded who will jeer and laugh at this message. http://www.whyislam.org start here.

Now most police officers are political appointees and there for money not the work. Gone are the days of Danny Sevarin, Duke, Alpe, The St.Jean brothers, etc when police officers protected the city like their mother’s front yard. Alas, Dca is finished.

    The main stay of our economy these days is drugs and passport sale and both are money laundering and both have it’s consequences both locally, regionally, and internationally and it seems as though whenever we see a foreigner around we have every reason to assume they either here to sell / pick up drugs or to receive passport / bring passport money in briefcase. In fact who knows if some not dealing both since diplomats are not checked vigorously like you and I are, All we seeing is some just getting filthy rich overnight and no one investigates them to find the source of their income, like they would quickly investigate you and me if they see us driving a BMW. Dominica is messed up and that’s why we will meet some dead on the street while some will be afraid to travel to the US, so they don’t get arrested. So police as you investigate these two deaths look for drug links as well as passport deal

    We must condemn these murders in no uncertain way. Know that the devil is rampant in Dominica in the hearts of some evil people.
    Prayers, prayers, prayers and more prayers! Only godly living and prayers will curtail and eradicate this evil scourge of especially murders in Dominica.
    Lord, please put a hand. Enlighten those who cause disputes, divisions, lack of peace and who consistently spend their God-given allotted time and mind in criticizing the government rather than blaming themselves for the evil occurrences in Dominica. Make them get down on their knees and fervently pray to you to remove especially this escalating murderous evil in the land. In Jesus Name, through His Most Precious Blood, I pray!

      What silence? Break what silence about what? What do you know that others do not know? Just blabbing your mouth/putting your fingers to the keyboard without comprehending or ignoring the facts of life and why some people get into these situations.
      What have you done for anyone and for Dominica for that matter? Do you pray for your fellow people especially the gullible and vulnerable that they may avoid these perils of life?
      Dominica is a country with all sorts of people some of whom find themselves in all sorts of situations. Who is to blame for that? Those people whom you refer to “in high places?”
      Do you have any sense to know people are responsible for themselves. They are to take care of themselves, to do their utmost not to associate with bad company. People bear the consequences of their actions. If you have any sort of common sense you will comprehend that. You will not blame others for the ill of society and those you state are in high places.

      my son was airlifted to Martinique in the night some years ago although the helicopter landed before dark. The reason for that is because the doctors on the helicopter have to ensure that the patien is stablised before being taken up in the air. I was a poor malaway then. the government had no input in the helicopter coming for my son.

    May 28, 2017

    Wow, two mysterious deaths; one has wounds on face with eyes plucked out while the other one is identified as a national of Guadeloupe. I was about to ask if the two deaths are related but let’s wait until the investigations are over.
    As I read this news I am reminded of a this: “The State Department report states that due to Dominica’s geographical location between the French territories of Guadeloupe and Martinique, the country is used as a transshipment point for narcotics and other criminal activities. It says for the past few years, money laundering cases involved fraudulent investment schemes, advance fee fraud schemes, credit card fraud schemes and the placement of euros from criminal activities into the financial system from the neighboring French territories of Marie Galante, Les Saintes, Guadeloupe, and Martinique.” Full article here: https://dominicanewsonline.com/news/homepage/news/dominica-named-named-among-major-money-laundering-countries-of-2016/

Where did we go so wrong? These people who kill and can sleep well at nights are human monstrosities. The Caribbean seems to becoming a killing playground. Someone submitted that funeral homes are the most profitable business right now. Lets work together to rid our communities of the drug gangs, the tribal politics, the idleness, the ignorance, the lawlessness and live like a close-knit family. Let’s all endeavor to start a new journey where love diminishes hatred.

      In God there is always hope. Throughout their lives they ignored God and lived in the spirit of the devil. This is what happens to such people when they act as if there is no God.
      God never said people have to depend on a government. He gave them life and intelligence. If they failed to make the most of it from the moment they became of age and attended school, they only have themselves to blame.
      Furthermore, they had parents to guide them. For some, in many cases, their mothers were the stronghold in the home. Were they obedient to the discipline in the home?
      The government did not create them. The government gave them a school where they could learn and then try to do something good for themselves. Therefore all of you who blame the government (whichever government would be in power) past and present look to yourselves. Let everyone try to do something good for themselves. They should know that a country cannot progress without its nationals.

      The problem with some of you is you are too bent on criticisms. Instead of praying to God and asking him to bless your country, your government, you and other nationals, you keep criticizing. Your minds are dangerous and low and getting lower. People as you cause what is occurring in Dominica to happen. Blame yourselves and your wicked minds and actions.
      Dominica is your country. It is as though some of you have no intelligence. If especially you reside there, know that God will hold types as you accountable for your actions, for your unfair and evil actions and for blaming the government for everything that is wrong and occurring in Dominica. You act as if the PM is the only person residing in Dominica. No question and argument about it, people as you cause evil to flourish and escalate in Dominica. Change your ways to godliness. Then, in time there will be a change in Dominica.
