    Pleased that the murderer is arrested. Why did he kill the man? Some people have guts to commit murder and to bury the body at that. This is desecration of a body. There should be more charges.
    Keep him incarcerated. Those who deprive people of their lives should be denied bail. They do not deserve to be allowed in society. They forfeit their freedom.
    It is time to build a new prison or expand it. A wing should be built for those who commit murders and other crimes, to keep them there until their case is heard. Then, it should be imprisonment for them. For those who murder, it should be a life sentence, some without parole..

      This Grand Bay man was a terrorist most Grand Bay people have nothing good to say about him, I am not saying they have the right to kill him, but if it arrives at this point the person could not take it any longer with him, this man ran away from Grand Bay because he was wanted in Grand Bay for many crimes, I hope the others will learn from what has happened to him and of his two brothers who have almost gone in the same way, to the young people don’t let your life fade out like this Dominica needs you.

    DNO, there are two villages named Savanne Paille. One in Calibishie, and one in Guillittte just outside of Portsmouth. Which is it?

    What is happening in the Isle of beauty, my people? Murders are becoming commonplace and the hearts of the perpetrators growing colder by the minute…We must make sure our present deeds do not negaTively impact our offspring. Dominica is in dire need of SPIRITUAL CLEANSING!!Generational curses are REAL..I keep noticing that a great number of such ghastly crimes are perpetrated by the grand and great-grand children of some very evil, wicked people who did their best at ‘pyaying’ people and ‘gattaying’ people children (in my childhood days). I speak from experience because my next-door neighbour tried her endeavour best to do me bad just because God had given me the ability to learn well at school. She would actually beat me so that she could comb my hair. Whatever it was that she always rubbed in the hair grease smelt so offensive! But the Most High was my protector. She eventually died a very painful death…her grandchildren and children became a set of murders. God does not…

      It is said, “The sins of the father/mother follow their children” and down to the third generation.
      There are wicked people as neighbors who would do these evil things and through envy. When I was a child I was told about a woman who got up one morning, opened her door and stepped on the veranda. Something happened to her. Her legs were never the same. She was a beautiful woman. It was said she stepped on some type of white powder that someone placed there. This occurred when she was young. I knew the woman. I do not know if she is still alive.
      When these wicked people die, some deux parlez. I heard of two of them. I did not know them. Consider what may be waiting for them in eternity.
      It is better to do good than evil. Far better. When especially people are dying they will have nothing to fear.
      A Catholic visionary said, as documented, when we are dying, our entire life will be exposed to us. This will determine our eternal destiny.
