The preliminary inquiry into the death of Clement ‘Johnson’ James is set for January 2011.
His 21-year-old murder accused, David Sint Jean, aka ‘Smokie’, was charged late last week and remanded to custody, police spokesman Claude Weekes said.
Clement James was stabbed to death last week Monday at about 3:40 pm on the Indian River Bridge in Portsmouth. He was in his mid 50s and had no wife or children.
DNO investigations into the murder revealed that the incident could have been a hate-crime
Reports are that while crossing the Indian River Bridge the two men’s eyes met and Sint Jean took the notion of Johnson being a gay man looking at as offensive. They were on the opposite sides of the river bridge when the initial confrontation occurred.
Eyewitness reports are that Sint Jean then reportedly crossed to the other side of the bridge and struck Johnson following a brief verbal exchange. Johnson defended himself against a piece of wood successfully but was blindsided and had a knife stuck under his upper arm. He collapsed almost immediately.
After Johnson collapsed, Sint Jean reportedly stooped over him and continued stabbing him about the body.
Clement ‘Johnson’ James had recently established himself as a landscaper after having been in the employ of the Ross University for some time.
and wow @ the type of ppl he choose to roll on, a old weak batiman who couldnt defend himself, i not dat old man @ all na smokie
My name is AngeL ___
I am NOT a Dominican, am of mixed European bLood & am DISGUSTED in di way di majority speak bout David.! My Lord says, Judge not lest yee be judged first.! And God, or Jah or Theos Or Buddah, whateva yuh wan 2call Him, is Oft Forgiving of US ALL fi our evry day sins, our evry wrong thought, our hands, our eyes, our mouths, our every being is full of sins.!! I KNOW HE DID EN AWFUL THING when he inflicted wounds pon that man, I cant even imagine how much he must of LOST CONTROL in midst anger enough fi him 2go that far, BUT, I know he wouldv’e been terrified himself later in knowing & realising what he’d done.! WHAT BOUT ALL THESE PPLE WHO JUST STOOD THERE WATCHING THAT MAN BLEEDING 2DEATH.?? Am QUESTIONING THEM as well, bcoz they had an opportunity 2HELP HIM & try STOP di bleeding, but they DIDNT did they.?! So,what makes YUH think ur any better a person huhh..?! Or were yuh AFRAID that if di man is GAY, as mny seem 2know bout, that yuh mite get AIDS.?! SMDH to ALL of yuh.! YES, Smokie did wrong, & he is locked aweh in that AWFUL prison where even di most least crime committed ur thrown in a pit hoLe not fit fi ANY human regardless of what they’ve done however minor or major! NO, am not asking they be living in luxury, BUT, they must be treated in a manner where they will be clean, fed properly, put 2do some form of work, TEACH THEM 2BETTER themselves & EDUCATE them, give them something that will help maintain their mentality & turn it into a POSITIVE, GOOD DIRECTION in their lives, SPECIALY ur YOUTH there.!! LIFE is very difficult fi many there in Dominica, I know this from Smokie & from reading ur News online day after day, but DNT make it anymore difficult by punishing them in horrid ways, fi NO1 has a right 2do so just bcause they’re an Officer.? How HONEST are THEY themselves.? It DOESNT HELP a prisoner to abuse them where many of them ave had that thru most of their lives already & make them HATE & be more vex & more aggressive a person than what they came in di 1st time.!!
I am a vry cLose frend of Smokie’s frm Australia, & am xtremly SADDENED at what has happened fi both families ! SMOKIE is MY Dre, & in di years I’ve known him & his bretheren, he ave NEVER been violent in any form or way ! We often spoken of di crime there & of God & Spiritual matters, & I guarantee yuh that this is so totally UNLIKE Smokie 2react in such a manner ! He alwys chanted mi words of di Most High & I would NEVER label him 2be a MURDERER ! From di day his mum called me 2let mi know he was imprisoned, I ave remained depressed & in disbelief & still cyan come 2grasp wit di whole matter ! I’ve been trying 2get hold of his mum via his cellfone, but ave not been able 2get in contact wit her these past weeks unfortunateLy.! So I searched onLine fi di Stock Farm Prison & found a number where I can CALL & try to find out what’s happening wit him, but was unable 2speak wit him & ask him WHY myself.! He will NEVER lie 2me, never has.! Di Officers I spoke wit took my details & number down (so THEY told me) 2pass onto Smokie, but I’ve YET 2hear frm him.?! I will continue to suppport him & I FORGIVE HIM fi what he did because I know who he is & My LORD says we MUST FORGIVE THEM, but we must also LEARN 2forgive our OWN selves fi our own wickedness in saying we are CHRISTIANS or PEOPLE OF GOD, when we can so easily CONDEMN another human being in di manner I see right here di way some write wit words of evil themselves.! SMH.! People who are troubled need HELP, not HANGING..!! What kind of MENTALITY is this.?? Its NO wonder so many youth DO get into crime & trouble if they dont see any other POSITIVE comiing from them who are much older & SUPPOSEDLY ALOT WISER..??!!! Yuh DNOT teach a being a lesson & CANT change them by teaching them more wrong & that they ave nothing to LIVE fi or look FORWARD to in their futures..!!
I am a HUMANITARIAN & I fight fi rights of people from ALL WALKS of life no matter whom they might or may ave been..!! i BELIEVE in giving people a CHANCE fi change & at life, NOT taking whatever likLe hope is left of them aweh from them..! I ave much love & respect fi Smokie, & I pray that in di time he ave been in jail, he ave thought bout what happened in that moment of anger & that God ave touched his heart & asks forgiveness from di mans’ family & from his mum & is receiving HELP & being educated whilst he is doing his time there..!! I will not ever forget or abandon HIM or any other being because of 1x mistake..! WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES & he’s paying fi his.! I KNOW there are many of yuh out there & all over di world who ave ur OWN SECRETS that hvent been exposed & things yuh ave done ave gone unpunished, so DNOT speak suh wickedly pon a brother who lost himself fi a moment that ened up unfortunately a tragedy fi another..!!!

@dominican to de bone:
You all sit here passing judgment on this young man. Some of you who profess Christianity should know better. The bible says “Judge not so that yea may not be judge.” Who you people think you all are. Why every time someone does something wrong we sit here and condemn that person. If you think you are sinless cast the first stone. Sin is sin and there is no sin greater than none.
Dominica is a place full of wish craft. You people need to know what is happening behind the scene. I grew up with this young man and left the country about 14yrs. I never viewed him to be a murderer. HE IS NOT A MURDERER!!!!
That woman/man who placed that spell on you don’t worry leave them in God’s hands. Justice would soon be served. I encourage you to get to know Christ and change your life. This world is soon ending. I am praying that everything works out in the best interest of each family…
May God have the final say!
Well well well i will see you down the road on the bridge and when your good padna in crime ‘D’ passing I want to see what will happen to you next batti boi fi dead?
Hmmm….You kill a man for BUGAR + They sending you stockfarm to BUGAR = I dam glad batti boi soon to be….
Disgusted neurologist, such a sad comment. I hope you find peace and harmony in the SAFETY of the big apple. Some of us would rather take crap in another man’s country than our own. Best wishes, you American you. lol
This individual certainly does not deserve to eat taxpayers money at Stockfarm. Put the beast out of his misery please.
@Lycan: That’s the dumbest comment I’ve read yet having locs does not make you a bad person it is the person himself. wtf having locs since when does the way our hair is naturally have to do with murder. The man was a ignorant idiot simple, has nothing to do with wearing locs. Foolish people one day you will face discrimination of a different kind and we will see what you will do then. The people who wear locs and are truly spiritual don’t do senseless acts like that. And if you can say that might aswell say all Christians are murderers to. Instead of worrying about locs worry about the people the individual so if one of your family members decided to loc there hair you would what condemn them people like you make me have no hope for humanity. Get a life and find out the true meaning of a rasta and what they beleive in and how they live there lives just because someone wears locs doesn’t mean they are evil plenty of evil walking around without it plenty are in churches pretending to live a certain life but behind closed doors are the worst. I’m shaking my damn head at the mentality of our people we truly are a lost people. Sad Sad Sad.
jail that bastard and throw the keys or hang that bastard infront of a crowd .i have no pity for people like that .he will be buggered in prison trust me and remebered well he kill some one for all u know he tried to make a move on the man for money and the man mayb tell him no ,that guy looks like some one who even sleeps with animals ill jail ur rass clat u that pretensive bugger man .
jail that jail that or hang hang hang
PATRIOTIC DOMINICAN I AM NOT ONE WHO STAND FOR SITUATIONAL MORALITY. I WONT KILL A MAN BECAUSE HE LOOKED AT ME AND I THINK HE IS GAY; I WONT PUT A GONE BEHIND A MAN’S EAR A PULL THE TRIGGER. TO ME THAT IS CALCULATED AND HEARTLESS AND TOTAL DISREGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE. I MAKE NO APPOLOGIES FOR SUGGESTING DEATH BY HANGING AS A FORM OF PUNISHMENT. TO SUGGEST THAT I AM THE PROBLEM IS ASININE. IRT SEEMS RATHER OBVIOUS THAT YOU PATRIOTIC DOMINICAN ARE TOLERANT OF THE SENSELESS KILLING THAT IS GOING ON IN DOMINICA. IF YOU FEEL OFFENDED BECAUSE YOU FAVOR SITUATIONAL MORALITY THEN LIKE THE FRENCH MAN SAY – DA PWEY.
@JUST GIVING MY 2 CENTS:
I agree with you 100%.I thought it was only me getting angry from those comments..funny thing about it some of them are not even legal in them people face and a lot of them when they get in trouble…where are they running backkkkk??????DOMINICA…..!!!!
alas i already feeling sorry for the boi batti
@nectar: a .. u b wii trust me…….
@live and let live: Lol. Tell me about it. Even if I were a gay man I wouldn’t have looked at him once, much less twice.
@JUST GIVING MY 2 CENTS:
Sir/Madam,
This is a so true and i agree with you 110%. Continue to represent
after having read all the comments ,it clearly shows me that dominicans are fed-up with all these murders, and they want justice and i can’t blame them. may both sides of the family find comfort in god.i personally believe that this young man should pay for his crime and his family needs to pray for him that while he is imprisoned god will visit him.they should be even glad he is away from society where he will not cause more harm to people
I agree…… maybe ask the fella for a sniff and the boi say no.
@DIABLO TRUCKER:
I hope you never find yourself in the hot seat — remember, what goes around, comes around. YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM!!!
well is up there that have real batty man, what out side is joke. Let me see what he will do in is … And watch the ugly miserable boi nah that think man looking at him. Stupes yes……..
This is a very very sad story. The act itself is despicable. What i am getting pissed at is the people who sit in foreign and act as if Dominica has the worse crime rate. I live in Toronto … and trust me… I thank God that i call Dominica home. There are all types of crimes all over and Dominica is not exempted from it, and we are by far, way off the radar when it comes to criminal behavior.
It is extremely sad that these things are happening in D.ca, however, it should be expected since our people seem to be loosing their sense of self and adopting the “American” ways. In fact, it is inevitable that these types of crimes will escalate…..
I’m sure the older persons can attest to how different it is growing up then and now in Dominica. I am in my ealry 30s and i visited Dominica 4 years ago and was in total shock at the way my cousins spoke to my granny. Imgaine, swearing at my granny. I couldn’t understand it… something a few years ago would never have been done. But i came to realise that it is not only the “American’ kids who are out of hand and are lost to the world… Dominican kids are just the same.
So when i come on hear and see people who are outside of Dominica trying to make Dominica look like one of the worse, or a bad place.. it angers me… Dominicans are simply too stupid to realise that becoming “Americanise” cannot work in our beloved country. If they were adopting the positive things… then that would be all swell, however, they are flocking towards the negatives..fast live, nice gear… materialistic things and the illogicla and unreasonable standards of the American culture.
So i say to my fellow Dominicans in foreign .. do not forget that we are just immigrants, unless born there, in the people’s land.. so anytime they may throw us out…. and we’ll have to run back to Dominica. So when you sit behind ur pcs and try to make Dominica out to be worse than where you are, u should perhaps go back and visit and appreciate the simplicity of ur past life…. perhaps going back could make the difference because you can contribute positively and educate the younger generation since you’ve lived it…
Hold it down smokie…..dont condone what you did but not condemning you either….we all get to choose our path….do what you gotta do in Stockie….kill them all and done!
WHAT kind of *words* are they 2be telling a youth or NY1..????!! Doesnt ur country ave ENUF probLmz to deaL wit ur YOUT deh.????! DNOT EVA TRY FI *ENCOURAGE* ma Dre *Smokie* 2keepon do more thingz as such to take anothas LIFE..!!
SMDH at di likez of yuh & little man & others wit such a LOW MENTALITY.!! Tsssssssskk..!!
MOST HIGH OF AL THAT LIVE EN BREATH ABOVE, BELOW, LEFT TO RIGHT & ALL BETWEEN “JAH” <3
PLEASE HELP YOUR LOST SHEEP WHO KNOWETH NUH BETTER THAN TO ENCOURAGE MI SISTAS & BROTHERS 2DO WRONG UNTO OTHERS,& FORGIVE THEM & HELP TEACH THEM RIGHTEOUSNESS, FORGIVENESS, EMPATHY, HUMBLENESS, HUMANITARIANISM & OPEN THEIR HEARTS & TOUCH THEM WITH YOUR DIVINE SPIRIT SUH THEY SEE FURTHER THAN THEY DO, FI THEY ARE BLINDED..!!
THANKYOU MOST GRACIOUS LORD
<3 AMEN <3
wtf….look at da old man who is trying 2 b young lol…ur dama***.now he goin an c BORGAMAN IN JAIL let dem put sum wood up his …..
Classic crack induced murder.
I have been reading this and it is very sad for both set of families. I donot know the deceased and his family, however my prayers and thoughs go out to them. Believe you me I can understand the pain that they as a family are and is going through. God wil help them through it all with prayers from the nation.
Secondly, another pain is this, I know Junie for Clayron as we all grew up in Zicack. All his aunts on his mother’s side were childhood friends. As a writer stated “we all made children, but we donot make their minds” that is very true indeed. My heart felt the pain for Junie also. In other words there are two sets of families who are currently very sad due to one persons action.
What we have to do is try not to put one down in a negative way, but try our utmost and be sympathetic because we donot know what had cross over this young guy name “Smokie” mind. The devil is always busy. The surname St. Jean is my family name, so who knows he could be a member of the family way, way down the line.
I hope and pray a resolution to end all this sorts of violence in our Island will come to an end soon.
@disgusted: U IN NEW YORK.JUST LAST NIGHT THEY CUT A GUY FACE OPEN CAUSE HE LAUGH AT A GUY IN MAHAT. SO B4 U START TALKING BS ABOUT D/A WATCH UR OWN BACK IN NYC WHERE UR 3RD CLASS. UNLIKE U I BORN HERE THEY CANT DEPORT ME TO DOM.. SO STOP BASHING THE ONLY PLACE IN THE WORLD UR 1ST CLASS.
even if the man was gay or not he have a right to look,it his eyes.He did not deserve that,slaughter that murderer like the pig that he is!
DOMINICANS, HERE WE GO AGAIN WITH YET ANOTHER SENSELESS MURDER COMMITTED BY ANOTHER DOMINICAN WHO KNOWS THAT HE MIGHT GET AWAY WITH IT. WHICH ONE OF THE ISLAND CORRUPTED LAWYER’S WILL BE REPRESENTING HIM, AND WHICH ONE OF THE SAME MAGISTRATE IS GOING TO SET HIM FREE TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN. THE SAME LAWYERS AND MAGISTRATE WHO SETS THOSE ANIMALS FREE, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THEIR REACTION IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN TO A MEMBER OF THEIR CLOSE FAMILY. IE, THEIR HUSBAND OR THEIR WIFE, SON OR DAUGHTER. THIS ANIMAL SHOULD BE HANGED IN PUBLIC THE SAME WAY HE KILLED HIS VICTIM IN PUBLIC.
Every man has a second chance before God, but smoky I don’t know… Your face looks terrible.
You had no mercy. just waiting to kill. Well now is your turn. YOU GONA GET IT IN STOKY!
@disgusted: what a dumb thing to say! You act as though you’re any safer in New York. I’ve heard of and seen way worse things happening in that city especially for being gay. Do us a favor and stay in New York where the people really need your services!
It looks like when you have locks in Dominica right now, one suddenly becomes elevated to take another’s life or commit crime, that’s a disgrace to the Rastafarian community in Dominica. The stigma that’s attached to that style is overtaking our young people, then comes smoking weed which is a drug which messes with your good judgement. The musical lyrics which follows this lifestyle is a driving force to do all sorts of evil.
I believe we have to get tough as nails like mamo when the locks was banned in Dominica. Dominica was a better place then. We need to take a hold of our children and pray for them.
watch all of dem behind smokie……..possie future paroes………….d boy posssseeeessss

@Domnichey: i agree with you, dont waste my tax payers money on a trial for mister. Hang his a.. let us stop this damn lack of implementation in our country. we have so many laws and sh.. is being implemented…..we therefore do what we want that is why our country is going to chaos. We also like to blame others, that is lack of personal responsibilty, owning up etc so hell we wont go anywhere. We stuck in the blame game. I was sick to hear on Matt this morning how poeple turned the soufriere tragedy into a polical affair. Shame dominicans , i am a youth embarrassed by the adults in dominica

@Admin, appreciate the response.
What is going on in Dominica five murders in september.I live in the VI but it looks like D A is getting worst.Please save it for us we plan to return.
@disgusted: LoL neurologist your neurons must be well bad.I can only comprehend your case or fear if youare a chichi man too visa-a-vis what you stated.Coming home and doing ur neurology practice will not put you in harms way. I am by no means condoning this madness this guy should be taken care of swiftly and house him before hanging with a few chichi men in jail. Coming to think of it he doesn’t have to be housed with chichi(s) 99.9% of the males up there would definitely take a piece of him.Ii do not want to see his derriere before his sentence 6 months to a year down the road after nightly rape up at stockfarm.
Nothing less than the death penalty!
But what i do understand; man has been bugaring in Dominica 4 decades an nobody ever try 2 kill them.
Imagine Tony Mako was one of the Hardest Bugarars in The history of Dominica! The man use 2 walk
all in Roseau with his hair in rollers. Man never tell him nothing!
All Man Like Sweet Roy Use 2 Bugar on the Hot Peech in Roseau!
Sunshine Bugar use 2 Bugar little Boy for sweetie!
Y all of a sudden Man Killing man for ther sexual preferance?
Homophobic murderer charged that’s fine with me…
What I want to know is when is the child murderer going to be charged?
thats sad the way take this man life. rest in peace my dear brother.
@lord have mercy: this is very ignorant of you to put the blame on the young man’s parents.No parent would raise thier child to be a felon..NEVER. he was raised in church and I’m sure his parents did thier best to make him grow into an ambitious young man;as all parents strive to do-but he chose his own way and became what her wanted to be.An angry,wicked person full of hatred in his heart.He is an adult now and is responsible for himself.He did the crime;now he must face the consequences.
On another note,my heartfelt sympathy to the grieving family ’cause I know you all are going through alot of hurt right now.Pray and the good lord will guide you.Blessings!!!
Got damn he looks like is 45 years old….just wizzzaaay….
Chief you’re making no sense whatsoever! Clearly he has been formerly charged! Get ya mind right buddy!
have mercy on us lord have mercy,this is just unbelievable so that’s why the spot where the padna washing the bus empty now hm.so it have time when i passing i seeing smokie chanting i myself don’t know what the boy saying like as if is in tongue my boy talking always saying some strange things and have a smoke coming from his month,why u did not do something positive with your life,look now your family have to be going up and down the road,another thing i almost feel sorry for you when your boyfriends them start taking turn on you, oh shit please dont bend for that soap trust me!.
Are you serious.And you all say professional dominicans should return and rebuild the country. i am a neurologist from dominica living here in new york.i was thinking off going back home and contribute my services. lord forgive me .But after reading that i can be killed just for looking at someone. hell no..
officer off with his head.
This is a very sad situation for ALL family and friends involved. I don’t know the suspect personally, but I do know his mom very well. Ms Junie, I am so sorry for your pain. You bear children but you do not make their mind. Keep praying for him, that he sees the error in his ways. Regardless, he’s always going to be your son.
To the family and friends of the deceased, I pray that you will someday find it within yourselves to forgive the young man. Ignorance is an evil thing.
Dominicans, nothing comes from HATE. Beware of your comments. I know Dominica is a homophobic nation, but the world is watching. Lets watch our words. Be more positive DOMINICANS!
when he reach up stockfarm he will know. ps dont drop the soap
@lord have mercy: i hope u r not a mother/ or father and if u are i hope u are going easy on ur kids and not too easy remember kids can be brought up by even a pastor and d end of the day the pastor doesnt make up that childs mind……maybe smokey was brought up in a home where he wasnt happy…am just saying…..but knowing where he was brought up from should make him stronger and being a better person….he chooose to smoke out his brians and here is the end result……..he is behind bars as we speak…..
sometimes should be blame of how their kids raise but at d end of the day…they grow into adults and do their own stuff
Shaper ….No you verbally killing me there ..hahah lol you couldn’t have said it any better
@DISCONNECTED:
well the last time i check it says everyman has a right to a trial until his has been proven guilty or not….so i doh believe dat law just apply anymore..u must be tried and it is in all u lawz eh
@Chief: sluggish???? this is the law ………dealing with cases is a process….even if they have evidence against him (which is enough to charge) he has to be remanded before the judge says…..YOU ARE GULITY!!!!
but we all want 2 c smokie take a life time…… i cant wait to hear the outcome of this case….in d mean time….d batty man killer will soon be somebody wife up der lmao let me see how tough he is when among dem big time criminals ahahahah smokie dey going and smoke ur ppe up der
your wicked bastard
@Chief:
but wait the last time i check murder is not the only indictable crimes in dominica…there are other indictable matters apart from murder and court so the system is not sluggish but there a cases before his own and highcourt is only at a certain time… not year round like the magistrate court so expect that
@lord have mercy:
yo u cannot get twenty years for murder…..murder only has two sentences…death or life imprisonment
@Mr Right:
u fletchin blind…u asking to see a photo…the photo rite infront of ur eyez wii…awa man
see him
@lord have mercy:
what does what church he went to have to do with it
church doesn’t make the man
it’s a man’s heart and convictions…not attending church
and it’s not always bad parenting, at the end of the day children can choose whichever way they please
parents can only do so much
Mr. 21 PAPA MET E-LAS NO you are really a disgrace boi u look like a pice of crap and to think that u were younger and mad you look worst than johnson and insane if johnson was gay you would not be what he would go behind ——-piece of crap
papamet…..dem man take dat pic from r.t facebook n e how dat smokie der self have a serious problem u know…u cudnt walk d streets and look at him nuh or else maypwe in man a^% and d boy always preaching about a kiilin smbdy ………….oh boy smookie where did it go wrong….hanging out by s…….ly smoking on d block hmmmmm oh well i want dem 2 tear ur boom boom in jail
yes that’s right the major problem is parents. they are number 1 enemies. they act like they were born grown and expect their kids to act like they have the wisdom of a 100 year old. they are too strict,they redicule you nag at you and destroy your self esteem. and you get kids who revolt and end up like davidson.
Just look at his bloody eyes. i wish i could push my hands into them thru the computer screen. Marijuana burnt brain. Yeah so much for marijuana is d healing of the nation. it fry ur brains.
@lord have mercy: bad parenting????????????????????????
kids take their own way…………………………………..
i think he should get 20 years, by the time he gets out he’ll be 40 . he’s a young guy who obviously didn’t recieve any proper direction in life. he will be reformed in 20 years and will still have some life left to live.
davidson i cannot beleive it. you were raised in a baptist church.what the hell happened. bad parenting that’s what.
I HOPE THEY SMOKE YOUR … SMOKIE.
What’s up with the death sentence – it is time they reintroduce hanging if the facility is not operational let us hang people like Smokey in the mang under Wyas mango tree. That also includes people like the Lestrade dude who shot the guy in the head. I ‘m sorry but I have no sympathy for these criminals.
The preliminary inquiry is set for January 2011? You mean the justice system in Dominica is so sluggish? Suppose we had a higher murder rate? We would be in some serious trouble.
Editors of DNO: You guys are playing with some hot water by publishing the photo of the accused man. Remember the law dictates that someone is a suspect, until a judge or jury says otherwise. No one is guilty until so proven by a court of law and publishing the photo can prejudice the case in the minds of future jurors. His lawyers could argue that the publishing of the photos could take away his right to a fair trail. This has happened before. If for any reason whatsoever he is found not guilty you could be in for a possible lawsuit.
News organization normally publish pictures of suspects if they continue to be a threat to the society at large and under the direction of law enforcement. However, I think you guys must have worked with your legal team who knows the laws of Dominica more than I do and thought it was OK to publish the photo. I am just giving a heads up.
ADMIN
Chief, you’re not well informed and you probably underestimate the management of DNO. You may have noticed that since the murder DNO refused to publish the man’s name and photo right? That’s because he was only a person of interest or suspect. I have been in this field for almost 12 years to know that once a person is not formally charged with a crime, they cannot be named or identified unless it is authorised by the law enforcement officials. Now, we got confirmation from the PRO that Mr. Sint Jean has been FORMALLY CHARGED. This gives us the power and the right to disclose his identity. The PRO, previously, did not disclose the name of the person who was assisting with the investigations because it is obvious that the police did not have enough evidence at the time to charge him. Now that they have, his identity can be disclosed. So please, readers, I am tired explaining myself… please take note.
I notice all murderers photos are in a sewo. They gonna miss dem sewo in their I…
Why are they going to waste the courts time with this scum?? If they are going to go through the process then the law needs to be adjusted to send a clear message. He should be tried for not just premeditated murder with a dangerous weapon but also a hate crime. His should be sentences to hanging within a short space of time. This has to be swift and public. It must send a clear message to that would be murders and persons who habor hate against innocent persons. If that is not the case the courts time should not be wasted. He should mysteriously die in his jail cell and move on with our lives. Do not waste my tax money on scum.
IS HE THAT IS THE SMOKIE THER NUH CHUUUPPPZZZ!!!! YOU GOING TO BE GAY TO THE EXTREME WHEN THOSE MEN IN STOCKIE FINISH WITH YOU
I WONDER WHAT HE GOING TO DO TO THE MEN IN JAIL…. IM SURE HE IS GOING TO BE SOMEBODY WIFEY REAL QUICK LMAO

STUPES….. dat murder is what i call rediculous!!! JAH BOI……. this really hurts!!…. here is a letter for smokie.
Dear Smokie
Eventually you will go to hell.. when u get there, all your locks might burn to your skull one by one…. then, the little piece of heart that you do have will burn up too, your brain will burn and you’ll feel it as much as if you were alive…. you look like you smoke alot (blood shot eyes) so i hope you enjoyed your last joint because in hell, you’ll never see a joint or rum although it might be used to burn you…….. but before hell, you’ll go to prison where you’ll have life with restrictions, you’ll regret what you did, but you’ll remember this man and cry one day…….. u might make “friends” while you’re there and a couple enemies…. so Smokie take care and remember karma is a b#%ch…….
sincerly,
Seeeeeee dat!!!!!
P.S… DONT DROP THA SOAP
YUH think yuh are a righteous person urself..?? STEP FORWARD IF YUH ARE WITHOUT SIN..???!!
AWA urself, because ur MOUTH speak wit di wickedness of a SERPENT & un_GODLINESS..!! Regardless of what Smokie did, ama tell YUH that **HELL** is right ere pon EARTH & what wi make of our lives & within our own hearts..!!
I am of a HIGHER SPIRITUAL CONSCIOUSNESS & can tell yuh ALL *condemning* peopLe that there is NO HELL as yuh think of it in ur life after yuh depart this world, BUT< there IS a TRANZITIONING weh we will ALL be given di chance fi rectify & change ourselves even THEN.!! YES..! BeLieve it or not, is ur own problem due to any IGNORANCE yuh choose to follow..! READ UR SCRIPTURES en CIPHER them until ur SPIRITUAL level of Consciousness ave opened up enuf fi yuh to STOP en RE_THINK ur thoughts en ur words of condemnation just as mi Dre afi sit en think bout his actions when he LOST HIMSELF that brought on di tragedy.!
maybe he should feel what he did to the man
they should prick him all over
then hang is a$$
no motive for killing. he just take the man life
he had hate in his heart
Thanks DNO for posting a picture of smokey. It’s time we Dominicans at home and abroad see who’s comitting all these senseless crimes.
@Pumkin:
IN THIS CASE, WE ARE HIJACKING THE LAW, AND REVERSING THE ORDER, MY FRIEND. LOOK CAREFULLY IN THE LAW…THERE IS A CAVEAT. IT SAYS, ” THOU SHALL HANG A MAN WITHOUT TRIAL WHEN HE TAKES AN INNOCENT LIFE.” BABOOM.
HA!, MR. SMOKIE, THE BELL IS ABOUT TO TOLL FOR THEE.
I am ready. I just pulled my executioner’s suit out of my closet and dusted it off. I am just waiting for the trial to be over with, and I am called to duty. By the way, I have ordered a special noose for this occasion. When duty calls, I will come. Though I am god-fearing man, the devil gave me his cell number (666-666-6666) – so that I can let him know when Mr. Smokie is on his way to hell. No rest for the wicked…taking an innocent man’s life.
IF Smokie was not watching the man, he would not have know the deceased was looking at him. Mister look possessed.
OMG Smokie i cnnot belive u.. see why me self cyan take in possie fellas.. it have a few good ones but alas lord help them…. i have a lil brother dere jah make him walk in the right direction..
I THINK THE LAW NEED TO SMOKE HIS TAIL. WHEN YOU CAN JUST TAKE A HUMAN LIFE BECAUSE THAT PERSON LOOK AT YOU. THE LAW NEED TO SMOKE YOU OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE………..
Thanks for the photo DNO.. we need to see them sick fellers.. no need to protect their identity
@emotional!: For real, hard working decent people shouldn’t have to end up responsible for the welfare of these people.
I say hang him ASAP
EDUCATOR..??????
IF yuh were so EDUCATED, then ur MENTALITY would be a whole lot DIFFERENT to THAT of which YUH urself DISPLAY..!!!!
smokie…trust me if you know him, you will feel no mercy!
Some people are a nuisance to society! Get the psychologist, get the social workers, get the psychiatrist, get the police on d streets and in the schools we have a lot more like Smokie!
@Pumkin: honestly, i believe it is a waste of time to have any trial, the two lawyers can meet with the judge and set the verdict…no jury is needed. that is a waste of time.
we need d death penalty back, we need to get out from that British and UN legislation of no punishment by death! we need d death penalty!
hang them, free up d society!
smokie boy… wat went wrong? guess u have a lifetime to sit and think… MARIJUANA is not your best friend… think it sent u loco
DIE SMOKIE DIE
IF U LIVE BY THE KNIFE U SHOULD DIE BY IT.
I NEED THE GUYS AT THE PRISON TO TO SHOW HIM WHAT A BATTY MAN IS. WHEN HE DONE HA KA BATHE IN NO BODY OF WATER AGAIN. THAT IS NONESENSE. HE NEEDS TO BE HANGED. MR IS A MENACE TO OUR SOCIETY IN PORTSMOUTH. WE CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE PPLE LIKE HIN ROAMING OUR TOWN.
we dont need senseless people like smoke in society. drop him like its hot
@timbok 2: yah wii while man in class mr dem outside fooling around and dem man der always have bad man mentality ……….dem man even use 2 leave school break time and go n smoke weed and come back …humph…..shame on smokie….he meant wat he say.””i must kll a man””
honestly i know this guy and trust me he is a menace to society, the guy is always walking the streets preaching about killing someone and the thing is any time someone eye would fall on him, he would be ready to start a fight right there and then talking about ending your life…. this smokie guy only preaches about killing people i dont think he deserves to go to jail …. i honestly think he deserves to die he needs to feel wat death is
Trust me, I’m not seeing any reason of having a trial for killing someone infront of everybody big day for nothing….i would hang his ~T~~ on dat same bridge
@Mr Right: am saying too.
please dont send ppl like this to jail to eat my money!!
@Observer: There has to be a trial before someone can be sentenced. There has to be a trial where the person would be found guilty or not guilty. The cart doesn’t come before the horse.
smokie boy we went school today…shame on u…while i was in books…u was being a crook… disappointing…howevr let justice prevail…charge him officer!!!!!!!!!!!!!
in a case like dat smookie should be hanged!!!!!!!!! this is really a senseless act…foolish….
he left a family suffering for no reason men……….
@Observer: he must be remanded before his case calls….dats d law system
hey where’s the pic? the guy has been officially charged, so his picture can be shown now
Hope justice is served in this case of sensless killing. This was just uncalled for.
Thank God that his killer was detained and charged. But I don’t understand why he was remanded and charged? He should have been sentenced not remanded……
Poor guy
we need to see who that Smokie is. show us a photo
