Over a year after Dominican, Dorothy Prince, was killed in Antigua, police on that island have charged one of the accomplices in the incident with murder.
The man has been identified as 27-year-old Omari Phillip.
Dorothy, a service station attendant, was shot on February 17, 2012 allegedly by Phillip and three other accomplices who had invaded the gas station where she worked.
Police say that Phillip was previously charged with aggravated assault but is now facing the charge of murder together with with Timorie Elliotte (a former defence force soldier), Gideon Jackson (a police constable), and Dion “Ticks” Thomas.
It is reported that the accused man, who was on bail, had managed to leave Antigua for Canada, in violation of bail conditions, however he was denied entry and sent back to the island where he was arrested and charged upon landing.
During the robbery Prince, formerly from Grand Fond, was shot three times. The men made good their escape in a heavily tinted car with $5,200.
The mother of two succumbed to her injuries on February 18, 2012.
All you people that are crucifying him before a fair trial woe be unto you. You are not God and you cannot judge him. Get the facts before you walk around running off your mouth.
I am Antiguan by birth and Dominican by decent and it is unbelievable how we have criminals turning us against each other, NO country is without some form of corruption just like Antigua has its issues so does Dominica. Lets pray for our ppl and our nations and quite the bashing
Well just stop coming, if thats the case….*shrugs*
A mother, a daughter a cousin and an aunt was killed by wicked lazy basterd for $5200 while on bail thats sad. They should send him away for a long long time never to see the light of day.
This man deprived Dorothy of her life and time with her children. Her soul continues to cry to Heaven for vengeance.
It is so sad what happened to her. Her children obviously miss their mother and throughout their life. I wonder how they are coping.
It took some months to arrest him and charge him. How soon after he committed the murder did he leave for Canada? How long did it take the Canadian authorities to deport him? Nevertheless, I am pleased that he was caught. Let us hope he will not be released on bail and that he will receive the full brunt of the Law and punishment for his crimes.
I’m sure the money is gone.. now a life is lost; kids without their mom! Hope he doesn’t get to go and sit in prison and live lavishly off the taxapayers money.. do away with him
Of course they spent all the money. They shared it between themselves. The money disappeared as if it was in a bag with a hole. He must have used some of it to pay his passage to Canada. Fortunately, he was denied entry.
I meant to like that statement. Not dislike it. Great point my friend. All the ignorant folks who are so money hungry that they don’t think twice and do crime should all be severely punished.
belive the eveil does play
Praise Jah!This one did not take place in DA.Skerro,You and your government escape that one!
Sort
When you think of it man, is life that cheap? Was it worth it?
$5,200 to share for three. Would that have made you rich? Are you and yours still eating from that money today?
How much is a human’s life worth man? Now society is calling for your blood, what kind of payment can you afford?
Actually is not even a three way split it was a four way split. Just killed the hard working lady and leaving children without their mother for $5,200 and He only gets $ 1,300. SHAME
You can run,but for how long? Your day of judgment will soon come brotherman. You do the crime, then, do the time.
so the other borders are doing better than antigua in preventing those criminal from entering their place.where as in antiga they can leave as they please.waw.what slack immigation
Antigua is CRIME Island. It’s like the roach motel – people check in and they don’t check out. Thank God, I am proud to be a Dominican.
lmao
If Antigua so bad why the hell we got so many of you all here…your comment is such a waste of time and space….go bathe in the river ha ha ha
Some of them do escape the scrutiny of the Canadian immigration and are successful in entering the country. This one was caught.
When visitors and so-called visitors, bogus ones arrive, they are questioned, Immigration authorities ask certain questions as they are closely scrutinized. If they fail to respond accurately and, depending on their demeanor, they will be held and then deported. Prior to this, they could have the right to a lawyer, free of charge who will defend them. In some cases, it may take sometime to deport them.
I wonder if the other accomplices are on bail.
How the heck does an accused murderer be out on bail and able to flee the country?
Was his passport not confiscated?
Was he using a fake passport?
I’m wondering at the laxity with which criminals are treated on this island.
2nd such story in recnet times
if you read the article properly you will see he was on bail for aggravated assault not murder.
Even then, being out on bail he was not qualified to leave the country. Something went wrong that he could have left the country.
If he was not sent back to Antigua, he could have lived in Canada and go underground, hiding from the authorities and may have also got himself involved in crimes. He could have married someone who would sponsor him and later became a Canadian citizen.
However, if it was found out that he committed a murder or was wanted in Antigua for a crime, eventually he would be deported. The citizenship would be revoked for he entered Canada and obtained landed status and citizenship under pretext. Again, with free lawyer representation, it could have taken years to deport him.
I hate to inform you that Canadians are angry that the Law, if not as lax as in the West Indies, could be lax and slow as well. They are not perfect.
cant you people read and understand, he was charged with agravated assault and was on bail, which is his constitutional right, he flee whilst on bail, therefore violating one of his bail condition, he was denied entry and sent back to antigua and thats when he was charged for murder, dominicans are really dumb and backwards people, cheeeeeeeeze.
An all u are murderessssss
Do u think that its only Dominicans reading DNO?
That was an unnecessary comment. Can’t the issue be discussed and debated without resorting to calling people names and bashing each other’s country. Gosh man!
The police themselves (previous or current) were involved in the crime. Who cares, those who should be against crime are those committing crime. What do you expect?
I don’t think if the police department have enough evidence against you the court system should grant you bail for killing someone. You can say sorry but you cannot bring that person back.
antigua is a corrupt and scumfull island,canada and immigration in antigua made him leave wow,will never like that island.dont know why our people reside their.antigua stinks.
Well said Antigua is hot dirty smelling no water misery for misery I preferre to be be in sweet Dominica
guess they like what you don’t.
No need to bash another man’s island like that! So many Antiguans have Dominican blood running through their veins…
I really do wonder why SO MANY of your country men come here and live as well. Maybe if the lot of them and others from other islands would leave us and our place, we could clean it up and bring it back to how I know it used to be.
Maybe he left on a DA passport
lol
Rot in hell
How he got to Canada?? Seriously?? Have mercy Lord
Glad they caught him
Good they got hold of him again but there seems to be a pattern in Antigua. A man on bail, and even remand prisobners manage to elude the attention of local enforcement officers and manage to escape from the island to overseas destinations. How is that possible unless there is a serious dereliction of surveillance, or worse still collusion?
I wish I could shake your big toe…Antigua seems to be a highly corrupt island
See how their own passing through so easy but they roughing up other OECS & CARICOM nationals even when they in transit. I hate passing through that Antiguan airport. Pure madness!
They get help from the inside. Didn’t you know there are more guilty people on the streets than there are in prison? The law enforcement officials are not doing their jobs.
They find a way somehow with the help of their counterparts. There are some who are deported and return even more than once.
it happens in larger countries as well. this shouldn’t be any surprise. MS-13 gang members have been deported from the US many times and still return. escape lawful custody in the US and go central America. this happens everywhere.
Sad situation. The time has come when we need to think before we act. Should i feel sorry for phillip who is now convicted with murder? If one live by the sword, he/she will die by the sword.
he was charged not convicted. reading is fundamental.
Did Dorothy live by the sword? Your comment is confusing.
He is referring to this Antiguan convict; not Dorothy.
who convict him, you? what are you, a one man jury?
wow! how did he get out of antigua without being recognized? he was also allowed to keep his passport to travel, what the heck is going on with the judicial system in the caribbean?
Suggest you look closer to home and what is going on with the judicial system in your homeland
well if he had dual citizenship. its possible that he only turned over his Antiguan passport to the authorities. As for how he travelled without being recognised. think about it does every single person working at an airline know who is out on bail? of course not. why would they? they would be alerted to be on the look out for an escapee. He was not. he was not. he was a bail jumper.
C’mon sense at work! Others seem to lack so much of it….
