MURDER UPDATES: Coroner’s inquest into recent murders pave way for autopsies

Murder victims (from left) Omara Small, sisters Rachael and Sophia Vigilant.

The autopsies for  last week’s three murder victims are scheduled to take place tomorrow after jurors were impaneled for a coroner’s inquest this morning.

Police spokesman Inspector Claude Weekes said the commencement of the coroner’s court proceeding has paved the way for the beginning of the autopsies.

Weekes said the coroner’s inquest is imperative to police investigations of murders and suspicious deaths, and as such no autopsy can take place without one.

The bodies in question are those of Omara Small, formerly known as ‘Mwanga Freeman’, who was gunned down at about 9:30 pm last week Wednesday. The others are 5-year-old Rachel Vigilant and her baby sister 2-month-old Sophia, who were killed Thursday morning – a few hours after Mwanga’s execution.

The mother of the dead children, who was arrested in connection with their gruesome deaths, has still not been formally charged. The constitutionally allotted time of 72 hours has expired. This time warrants that an arrest should be made or the suspect released.

However, the police spokesman indicated that this system could be flexed depending on the situation. In this case the suspect is perceived to be mentally ill and is seeking medical attention.

There has been no confirmed arrests or charges in the case of Mwanga Freeman.

    Imagine, I went to a friend of mines funeral just last month and the older girl (Rachael) was sitting just in front of me with her Grandmother. Her grandma is a preacher or something (correct me if I used the wrong term) and she spoke @ the funeral of how she had lost her mother and her husband one after the other. Now I’m thinking: this lady now has TWO more deaths to deal with. Let us all pray for her and the rest of the family because that is a pain that I wish on nobody

    @CONCERNED: these are such horrible things to say about Dominica and its people! When people like you make all these NEGATIVE statements what do you expect to happen! have you ever heard of the POWER OF THE WORD? Speak POSITIVE words about Dominica and its people, do something to make a change.. We are not HUNGRY in Dominica. You should be ashamed to say that we can ever go hungry in Dominica because every square inch of this island is cultivatable and can grow something! I have seen with my own eyes random persons giving food to total and complete strangers when they come to our island. So do not say we are starving..say some people choose to not eat and drink. Say some people choose to want to kill and hurt others for what they have worked hard for!

    further if you think the government is so corrupt..do something about it! take them out and YOU lead us! Instead of saying the Police is corrupt ..say the criminals are wrong and bad!

    POSITIVE VIBES MAN..POSITIVE VIBES!

    September 21, 2010

    To ‘falling apart’ ,
    my sympathy to you for your tragedy,
    BUT……if people claim that she was depressed, refer to her ‘mental state’ or going through alot…….and the fact that she had those (not really funny) posts on Facebook, why were those beautiful children left in her care??
    Of course you don’t care what people say,
    obviously no one paid attention to the underlying dangers here.
    People close to this family failed those children, by not taking this woman seriously.
    Family and friends must not be afraid to step in, when kids are in danger.
    It is a highly sensitive situation, but also explosive.

  14. thank you
    September 21, 2010

    Thanks to the writer ‘know what its like’ .
    Must have taken alot of courage to write of your own experience.
    Excellent comment, as there are too many negative contributions here.
    Indeed, depression is a disease, needs help, councelling, support and medication.
    It is easy to criticise and point fingers, but unfortunately it is human nature not to look at ourselves and be honest.
    This is an ongoing criminal case and comments relating directly to the persons involved should be guarded.

    While everyone is entitled to their own outrage as a result of the incident, we can all agree to the fact that this woman must have encountered an extreme psychological disorder which caused her to kill her own biological children. All we can do is show her mercy..something which the good Lord will certainly do if she asks for it.

    @Summer, I saw the album as well and it was quite disturbing. If this girl was up in the states or any one of these big countries they would have used that against her in court. I think this young lady was a very disturbed one. She needs help. They better not set this girl free because if you can kill your own children you can kill anybody. Just hope they keep her inside the mental institution and give her the help she needs until she is fit to finish take her jail time stockfarm.

    ON THE TRAGIC DEATH OF MISTER SMALL I FEEL THAT THE POLICE SHOULD BE FAR MORE EFFICIENT THAN THAT I MEAN COME ON EVEN IF THE MAN WAS IN TROUBLE WITH THE LAW OCCASIONALLY THEY DID NOT HAVE TO TAKE SO LONG TO COME TO THE SCENE EVEN IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THE PERSON BECAUSE YOUR DUTY IS YOUR DUTY AND NOT WHAT YOU WANT TO DO. I AM INDEED GREATLY DISAPPOINTED BY THE POLICE AND I FEEL CERTAIN DISCIPLINARY MEASURES SHHOULD BE TAKEN. AND I ALSO FEEL THAT IF YOU DO NOT LIKE A PARTICULAR CRIMINAL AND THE PERSON IS DEAD IT SHOULD BE YOUR YOUR PLEASURE TO COME TO THE SCENE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SEEING THAT THE PERSON IS ALREADY DEAD.

    September 20, 2010

    This is very sad. However, when I went on her FB after talks about warning signs I got chills looking at some of the pictures.

    There was an album that had pictures made to be funny with people doing not so nice things to babies/ children.

    For example one of the pictures had a baby on a bbq grill, another pic was with a snake on top of a baby on a bed, a few pictures had people/statue holding babies by the legs upside down/ statue kicking a baby etc. One pic had someone squeezing a babies face with their two hands, one had a baby in a dirty sink with dishes everywhere, one had a a little boy crying with a fork through his nose. That’s just the few that I could remember. Her page has been deleted.

    Most of us have gotten funny emails/ pictures about kids and grownups, but this was a little bizarre, that an album was dedicated to pictures like this in ref. to babies/kids. Subconsciously this could have been a cry for help. I guess this is a wake up call for all of us to keep in mind these little hints of help from our friends and family. Everyone needs someone to talk to and can sometimes ask for it in different ways and not even know it. Just because someone seems all put together on the outside does not mean they are not suffering with something inside.

    Let’s all learn from this tragedy and become more aware and stop being self consumed and negative…

    I FEEL THAT THIS MATTER SHOULD BE HANDLED CAUTIOUSLY AND TO THE DOMINICANS WHOSE CHEST ARE ALWAYS FULL OF DIRTY THINGS AND FOREVER JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS POST PARTUM COULD HAVE A LOT TO DO WITH THE INCIDENT. PERSONALLY I FEEL THAT THESE CHILDREN’S LIFE DID NOT HAVE TO BE IN SUCH JEOPARDY BUT SEEING THAT IT HAS ALREADY OCCURRED WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT AND MAY THEIR SOULS REST IN PEACE. WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT MAY HAVEBEEN WRONG WITH THE YOUNG LADY SO IN STEAD OF JUST IMPOSING THREATS COULD WE JUST BE SYMPATHETIC AND STOP BEING CRITICAL. THERE ARE THREE SIDES TO A STORY WHICH ARE WHAT THE LADY AND THE MAN HAS TO SAY AND THE TRUTH UNTIL WE HAVE NOT GOTTEN THAT WE SHOULD NOT USE OUR TONGUES AS WEAPONS TO SPIKE ONE ANOTHER. WE SHOULD BE MORE CONSIDERATE. I FEEL THAT THE LADY SHOULD BE CLOSELY EVALUATED BEFORE GIVEN A PUNISHMENT AS SHE MAY BE IN GREAT NEED OF HELP AND A LOT MORE SUPPORT INSTEAD OF A HIGH LEVEL OF CRITISISM AND FALSE JUDGEMENTS.

    HI

    I can emphasise with … because I almost put my self in her situation once in my life.I got pregnant at an early age,had no support and no one I could turn to.I had to beg and steal and borrow to feed my child let alone myself..(I am not blaming anyone but myself)

    I used to go days without an interaction with my friends or family and hey could you blame them I took my own way and got pregant for a guy who was nine years older than me and had several other women on the go.(not looking for sympathy as I am grown now) So as you can guess I was down and out and sank deep into depression.BUt hey I can mask my feelings so no one would notice.Oneday as I was bathing my daughter something popped into my head ”if i put her to sleep she will never have to suffer and before I could stop myself I had her head under water.Up to a day like today I don’t know what made me snap out of it.When I realised what I was doing I just started screaming and thank God my neighbour was home that day cause god know I was screaming so much that I could not revive her which she did.

    I have never told a soul what I did that day because who would want a person like this around them.I guess I was a second stronger than … and able to stop myself, but this does not make me better than her.

    What we need to do is create a support system for people like her.Depression is a serious desease and should not be played with.

  39. good choice
    September 20, 2010

    my sympathies are with the family and friends of this young family. no criticisms not negative comments. she is being assessed to determine her state of mind…at the time of the incident and at present…so please lets just honor the memories of the deceased and pray that justice will be done whenever the mother has been properly assessed. no matter what comments are posted on dno it is not going to change the facts of what happened.

    also, bear in mind that we neve know what is going on through another’s mind. you could look like the happiest indivdual and still be dying on the inside. sometimes peole reach out to us and we ignore them not knowing what is really happening. it can take just seconds for someone to go from sane to insane. it can happen to anyone of us.

    we also have to realise that the same family is mourning the death of these two angels and also dealing with their mother who is not being assessed for her mental stat. its just sad. this family is caught up in a bitter situation and they are deserving of comfort right now. i really feel for the children and i also feel for the mother. until the psychiatric assessment becomes conclusive as to her state of mind…

    LET US PRAY FOR OUR COUNTRY AND THE FAMILIES AND FRIENDS OF ALL THOSE TRAGIC DEATHS WE HAVE HAD RECENTLY. RESPECT ONE ANOTHER AND DONT FORGET THAT NEGATIVITY IS NOT GOING TO BRING BACK ANYONE OR MOVE OUR COUNTRY FORWARD.

    @Well Done:

    I so agree with this comment…..all Dominicans care to do is talk bad about each other without knowing WTH is going on. i am not in Da and therefore dont know the facts but according to what DNO and other news sources are saying, i strongly belive it’s a case of postpartum depression which turned into postpartum psychosis. no mother will willfully hurt their own kids. instead of bashing the parents (both mother and father) y dont we pray for them? remember we all have kids of our own, and or brothers, sisters, cousins, and so on. MAY THEIR SOLES REST IN PEACE!! keep the family in our thoughts and prayers!!!

    What is the difference between “baby blues,” postpartum depression, and postpartum psychosis?

    Many women have the baby blues in the days after childbirth. If you have the baby blues, you may:

    * Have mood swings
    * Feel sad, anxious, or overwhelmed
    * Have crying spells
    * Lose your appetite
    * Have trouble sleeping

    The baby blues most often go away within a few days or a week. The symptoms are not severe and do not need treatment.

    The symptoms of postpartum depression last longer and are more severe. Postpartum depression can begin anytime within the first year after childbirth. If you have postpartum depression, you may have any of the symptoms of depression listed above. Symptoms may also include:

    * Thoughts of hurting the baby
    * Thoughts of hurting yourself
    * Not having any interest in the baby

    Postpartum depression needs to be treated by a doctor.

    Postpartum psychosis (seye-KOH-suhss) is rare. It occurs in about 1 to 4 out of every 1,000 births. It usually begins in the first 2 weeks after childbirth. Women who have bipolar disorder or another mental health problem called schizoaffective (SKIT-soh-uh-FEK-tiv) disorder have a higher risk for postpartum psychosis. Symptoms may include:

    * Seeing things that aren’t there
    * Feeling confused
    * Having rapid mood swings
    * Trying to hurt yourself or your baby

    People get the facts straight…I have no relation to this young woman but I am certain that she was not in the right frame of normal thinking minds when she comitted this act. So stop going around bashing the young lady and learn some more about mental illnessess.

    Are you aware that she is asking for them…..I maybe jumping to conclusions as well but i believe that she is not even aware of what she did.

    @ruth williams: while I understand your point, making children is a 2 way street!! As women we have to take more responsibility for our actions. It’s time that we stop blaming men. It’s time that we take control of ourselves and our destinies!! It is has from the beginning of time that men just get women pregnant and leave. We know that, why not just use protection….we do live in the 21st century you know. or better yet abstain until you positive the type of guy you dealing with. If the guy decides he does not want to use protection (b/c it does not feel good) simply….take control and not have sex with him.
    I’m not saying men don’t have to step up, but we as women know how men(some) are as a result we have to take responsibilities for our actions and stop playing the blame game!!

    I not doubting all you ‘post-partum…’, but if she so damn sick how comes she still alive? Why she had enough sense to kill the kids but not herself?

    Many people and the governments would have been glad to take those kids, it seems to me that she was trying to make a statement.

    Anyways, I not doubting all you ‘post-partum…’, but if I was the father, I would spend the rest of my days waiting to ‘post-partum’ her ass…

    Blame it on post partum depression, psychosis or plain mishcief, but the facts of life are constant:

    1. Parents need to carefully observe their kids, and counsel them the right way
    2. People should not take ‘strange’ behaviour for granted, and just turn potentially dangerous situations into beff and gossip
    3. Young people need a spiritual life
    4. Men need to stop using women if they are not interested in them
    5. Women need to get a life for themselves, get an education and become independent and strong

    With all the stories that are coming out now about facebook, threats to the father, phone calls made etc. SOCIETY failed these kids because there were TOO many signs. Now after the gruesome murder it’s a he say she say, he do she do.

    If the neighbours, friends and communities knew so much, why wasn’t anyone alarmed? Eh?

    Too little too late.

    people keep talking this and talking that…but if the girl have a mental issue who delete her facebook profile? If is she that remmebr about it then her ass en mental at all….just evil! Now ont he other hand, if is some friend or family member that had access all the time, and saw those photos from so long and never took it upon themselves to look deeper into the issue, then they just as responsible for the lives of those girls. SOmebody has to be held responsible for the death of these little Angel. A woman, a mother in her right mind cannot do that. I thought maternal instinct was stronger than whatever mental instability out there. And worse off stab? I waiting to hear how many time she stabbed them. THat will give more insight ito the state of mind she was in whe she did it.

All I can say is that those phtos were some real messed up shit and if proseccusion get a hold of them then stronger case for them. All i want is to see somebody pay for the lives of those two Angels. It cannot pass just so

    @ ff It’s people like you who cause other to call us “Dumbnicans”. Do you know what it is to feel depressed? Do you know what it is to have everything in the world but to still feel empty? Do you Know what Psychosis means? Do you know what Post partum Depression means? My mother has been a psychiatric patient for the past thirty plus years. I know all to well what this young lady must have been feeling. My mother wasn’t born psychotic….circumstances made her what she is today.I am saddened that this situation had to lead to the death of two innocent children.These recent incidents should seek to cause us to evaluate our Mental health System and stop our negative mentality and attitudes towards mental health. I don’t know you my dear but old your head up God is in control.

    Domincans need to stop this silliness. RESEARCH what is post partum depresion. While it is common VERY FEW (only 0.01%) of mothers react to this and there are BILLIONS of mothers. I don’t care what any one says she is a MURDERER!!! You CANNOT tell me that you didnt have enough sense when you to go to your kitchen, take the knife cut up the first child who we KNOW had to be be crying, then move on to the second one, cut up that one and then go and tell your neighbor to call police, you just killed your kids!!! NOTHING makes you more alert than the sound of a crying baby or a scream, NOTHING!!! Post partum doesn’t come months and month after you have your child, it comes right after you push it out beause that is when your hormones begin to readjust themselves.

    She was fine enough to post all these pictures on FaceBook AFTER she had her kids, she was fine to be dressing up and making up. She was fine enough to tell her peoples her password to go delete her facebook so those who didn’t see her albums wouldn’t be able to. I am one who SAW her album failed, so to all her hypocryte family/friends who claiming she was sick and were her friends on facebook “liking” the crazy photos or thinking they were funny, where were you then??? If she was so sick, wouldn’t that be a sign? An entire album dedicated to people doing kids wickedness and you all thought that she was just being funny? She was lol and making silly comments under her pics?

    People with GENUINE post partum depression don’t have time for FaceBook!!! Like all other forms of depression, you get recluse, you don’t hang out with your friends, you don’t go out and about taking photos. But guess what – PERFECTLY NORMAL people do that, so guess what she was? You guessed yet? She was PERFECTLY NORMAL!!! Don’t come with your post partum shit! That is just as plausible as when all of a sudden people kill up here in the US they suddenly crazy, but yesterday they were in the club happy and drinking! Spare me!

    The man LEFT her and she wanted to make him pay. POINT. BLANK. PERIOD. Not condoning what he may have did (leaving her with a new born and a toddler) but the man possibly had his reasons to leave. NOTHING JUSTIFIES TAKING THESE BABIES LIVES, NOTHING!!!! A word of advice to the father and friends of the father who may see my posting – the kids are canadian, have her extridited to Canada to be tried there. Is post partum she have, let a country with SMART and RESOURCEFUL doctors and therapist PROVE it!!! Let her go through the battery of tests to prove ther brain wasn’t functioning properly and her hormones were still messed up. Till then, all you hypocrytes need to hush up and ACCEPT that she is A MURDERER!

    Why wasnt the woman charges? This is a miscarriage of justice, if it was the father he would have been charged. I feel sorry for her but we have to follow law and order. The procedure is to charge her then have her evaluated to determine if she can stand trial. INSPECTOR WEEKS IF THAT WOMAN DOES NOT STAND TRIAL YOU WILL HAVE HELL TO PAY. IS YOUR MOUTH I HEARING SO YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE. You that this is a bad precedence of other murders? Right now any murderer can plead insanity and their lawyer will get them off without a charge based on this MISCARRIAGE, BE CAREFUL.

    God be with this woman, may you find whatever it is that cause you to do such a thing and get over it.

    Its is really hard to read all these comments because I’m her blood, her family and the people that knew her knew she was not in her right mind when she did this and she loved these children more than life itself.Also u people need to stop being so judgemental. None of u know her mental state of mind before all this happened.She was going through alot and since she came down she has been suffering from depression. I don’t give a f**k what none of u all say. she is my family and i know her better than that and the real sara I know was no capable of doing such a crime she snapped and if it happened in your family how would u feel.right now my family has to go through the grief of burring our beloved rachael and sophia. Plz people think before allu speak. I know its difficult for u all to understand but the mind is a every powerful thing and there is a thin line between sanity and insanity.for those of u that are trying to understand this and being supportive I thank u. to those that are just commenting negatively this still won;t make me view her any differently and i love her more now than ever.My prayers continue to be with u sara.

    @ruth williams: Are you aware that … spent the past few years out of Dominica and had just recently returned? According to you, “I was so happy to get out of Dominica as a child”. Did you stop to think that getting out of Dominica may have worked for you but may not have really been the best thing for her at that age and time? Even with Dominica’s limited resources, sometimes a strong support system can take us a long way. In my lifetime, I don’t recall another such incident in Dominica.

    The case of the two young children is a classic case of post parturm depression and it is amazing that contributors like “natureislander” can be so ignorant in this time and age. Do the research man. Google “cases of postpartum” or “postpartum depression cases” and you will see the results. Read and educate yourself. My gosh, why do we have to be so judgmental?

  84. let us pray
    September 20, 2010

    Sad story indeep and every single one of us need to learn from it. There is no justification for killing anyone, yet alone innocent kids but absolutely no one could be in their right mind and do such a brutal act. That young lady has been silently crying out for help and it was only realised after it was too late. Normal people don’t put some of those weid pictures she had on her facebook. didn’t some of her friends find it strange? Did anyone try questioning her? And I am sure there must have been other signs besides what she had on her facebook.

    People we need to pray, the devil is on a rampage and it is evident in our land. He knows his days are numbered so he is searching and seeking whom he may devour so we need to be on our guards. It is time to repent and live a life pleasing unto the Lord. Those of us that say we are save, it is our responsibilty to stand in the gap for others.

    Please be sensitive to the girl and her families and everyone who is hurting one way or the other because of this tragedy because as I said before, there is absolutely no way a mother in her right mind would have done that to her kids. She must have been weak, she must have been vulnerable, and she most definitely lost her mind before she comitted the act. Alot of people are hurting so let’s be mindful of what we say and in all we say, lets remember to pray for them.

    I dont thhink that these children deserve to die. however, before putting all the blame on the mother we need to gather the facts first. what could have possibly made the young lady snap and do this? was she emotionally and physically abused? I know life is unkind and relationships come and go. if she had spoken to someone its possible that this wouldnt have happened. BUT TO THE CHILDREN FATHER, LEARN THIS LESSON. U CANT BE WITH SOMEONE FOR HOW MANY YEARS AND HAVE CHILDREN WITH THAT PERSON AND AT A DROP OF A HAT LEAVE THEM. IF IT WASNT UR INTENTION TO BE COMITTED THEN U SHOULD HAVE LET HER KNOW THAT AND USE PROTECTION. THINK IF WHAT GOOD THAT WOULD HAVE DONE. DONT DO THIS TO WOMEN, WE HAVE FEELINGS TOO. IF U HAVE NO INTENTION OF GIVING US WHAT WE DESERVE THEN STATE SO EARLY.

    I agree with the comment made by the father. i think that men should be held more responsible for their actions instead of just giving children and not being there emotionally. i feel bad for that young woman. i was in her shoes many years ago when i had my child. is by praying and having a strong support system that i didnt do that to my child. postpartum depression is a serious illness. dominica needs to be more educated about this or it will happen to somebody else. i am so happy that i was able to get out of dominica as a child. dominica needs more resources to help young mothers like sarah. my condolences to the family.

  99. a father as well
    September 20, 2010

    it is so sad, i am not blaming the woman only she can tell us the whole story as well as the father, but what she did wasnt right the chhildren are innocent..But quite frankly i think we need to revisit our familys and men–the girl in question was much younger than the guy, some men need to hav a more respect for woman –not only breed them and leave them some might respond differntly for instance get so depressed until they kill the children—woman have feelings they are the ones home taking care of the babies when they could be bettering themselves –we need to take responsibilities as men —i feel for both parents communication could have prevented this.
