Prosecution withdraw charges against “Shakes” and Prosper, gave no reason

Charges of murder and conspiracy to commit murder have been withdrawn against Curtis “Shakes” Richards of Newtown and Andy Prosper of Morne Prosper.

The charges were in relation to the deaths of Allan Bardouille of Newtown, Mannison Thomas of Fond St. Jean and Kenneth Birmingham of Kingshill whose bodies were found riddled with bullets in a boat 26 miles off the coast of Salisbury in October last year.

This morning, the prosecution told Magistrate Candia George that it was no longer willing to give evidence against the two men on the matter.

Magistrate George therefore withdrew the charges upon their request. The prosecution gave no reason for their decision.

Richards and Prosper had been bailed two days before Christmas last year with sureties for $500,000 each at the High Court.

This morning, their lawyer Zena Dyer requested that the defendants travel documents and other exhibits and documents be returned.

Magistrate George, though stating that nothing had been presented to the court, said that it was left to the police to return what was taken from the ex-defendants. She however ruled that the items be restored to the men.

Richards and Prosper had been remanded for a few weeks last year before they were bailed.

    In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

    Oh people of Dominica, it is evident that secular christianity is not working. We have seen many murders thrown out the court. The judicial system does not work. There is nothing Skerrit, Labour Party or any political party can do. No Jesus Christ can save this system, most people here have been going to church forever. It is not working! Please wake up before it is too late.

    It is time for a cultural revolution. Dominica needs Islam. We believe in the same creator who sent prophets such as Moses, David, the Messiah etc. We believe that the creator is one without any one sharing in his dominion. Only an Islamic system of government will provide a conduscive society for all to worship God and live their lives. We all want to get closer to God, thus tough laws from Allah must be implemented in order to curb these criminal behaviour.

    My people, do you want the days when you use to leave your home open and go anywhere?

    Do you want justice for your love ones who have been murdered?

    Do you want when you go out day or night you are safe?

    If you really want these things, it is time for islam. Allah says in the Holy Quran, ‘Allah does not change a condition of a people until they change the condition of what’s in themselves.’ My people remove ignorance, pride and stubborness from your heart, learn about islam. May Allah guide you O Dominican nation to the truth. Amen.

    I must say that I am surprised that anyone could even get bail relating to a murder charge.
    It has happened here before.

    The accused men have had the charges dropped and infact have not actually been found
    innocent (as there was no trial. Well not a court trial). The charges were dropped as there was
    a lack of evidence. The police cannot make the facts public knowledge, just incase they
    have other suspects and it is not a threat to national safety.

    As for the police being sued for wrongful arrest, that would be in very poor taste.

    Yes I agree there doesn’t appear to be much law and order in Dominica, and it does seems
    that the rules are changed according to who you are or who you know.

    We should also remember the old adage ‘innocent until proven guilty’.

    To all those shouting guilty, have any of you expressed your condolences to the families of
    the deceased. They need help and support.

    People have come out on 2 sides here, those who believe the accused are innocent and those
    who believe that they are not. None of us can actually be sure of what happened on that fateful
    night, as we did not witness the events.

    @precious: we should demand of the police the real reason the case was thrown out. Number one the police never had a case against the two men.. ..everyone knew they were not the killers. forensics seemed to have confirmed that the bullets can be traced back to a particular country. so i hear it so i selling it but it makes perfect sense because a reason was not given. boats from that same country have been seized with drugs and nothing done. Open your pretty brown and black eyes Dominica.

    @ D/can in ATL, I will repeat myself again to you, shakes is a good man, he has not done anything wrong in his life. When god asked the crowd of women, who did not commit adultery put up their hands and none of them could put up their hands. Because they all sinned, You should go to confession and ask god to forgive you for all the wrong things you have done. Instead you sit down on your bottom saying and writing stupidness. Give Shakes a break in his life, you jealous of Shakes. I think is a $1.00 you want to buy a bread, go Shakes will give it to you. My dear he has a good HEART

    I HAVE LOOKED AT THE PROGRAM FORENSIC FILES WHERE A TEAM OF FORENSIC INVESTIGATE MURDERS IN AMERICA.IT TAKES MONTHS AND EVEN YEARS TO FIND ALL KIND OF EVIDENCE FROM THE HAND WRITING OF SOMEONE TO THE FOOTPRINT ON THE STREET TO FIND OUT WHO KILLED THE VICTIM..

    AND YOU KNOW WHAT MANY OF TIMES THE COPS ARE INTERVIEWED AT THE END OF THE MYSTERY AND QUOTE ” HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THIS FORENSIC EVIDENCE THIS PERSON WOULD HAVE BEEN FREE”..THIS IS TO SAY THAT MURDER IS A THING THAT YOU NEED TO HAVE A LOT OF EVIDENCE TO CHARGE SOMEONE WITH MURDER

    YES..ITS TRUE THAT SOMETIMES ITS OBVIOUS WHO DID IT BUT IN A CASE LIKE THIS WE DONT HAVE PROOF. I AM NOT SAYING ITS NOT THEM BUT LOOK AT THINGS THIS WAY.IF GOVERNMENT RAISE TAXES TO GET FUNDS TO PAY A FORENSIC TEAM TO CONDUCT THIS MURDER MYSTERIES IN DOMINICA, THE NEXT THING YOU ALL WILL BE COMPLAINING ABOUT IS HAVING TO PAY MORE TAXES.

    STOP COMPLAINING DOMINICANS AND COME TO REALITY THAT OUR COUNTRY LACK RESOURCES AND ITS BECAUSE OF FUNDS AND THE PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY ITSELF NOT AGREEING TO PAY ANY MORE TAXES…SO!!!!

    D/cans quick to talk and slow to think. Is not what u know is what u can prove, only people that know what happened are the departed and the killers.
    Also if the accused is the owner/boss what does he gain from terminating his workers seeking to procure his product using his resources?
    Are people scared to say that it could be the legal pirates (the defenders of our coast) that did it?
    How many have gone missing out at sea and very few have ever been found, is not a little suspicious that these guys were found and no mention of money or drugs not even fish on the boat?
    what kinda of ammunition was used?
    the accused where just used as a distraction in an illusion of mis direction…..

    well well well. who is running this country? look at the click of justice. look who is police commissioner, deputy commisioner, chief justice, chief prosecutor and list of the click goes on. no reason given but murderers are prawling around, while people lie in the gound. what is going on is baffling. i hate to say but having muderers constantly being found not guity, muderer charges dropped to conspiracy or the govt (state verses) just sending murderers home (just like that) is a big joke and this may just want to look as an incentive for crimes. please mr police commisioner, mr prosecutor, chief justice and all in charge we Cannot allow murderes to just go scorge free. In this case and i know those in charge are reading you owe the people a reason(s) for this decision. there are families, friends and concerned ones out here who need to know. this was a triple murder, yes triple. every foolishness in town there’s a news conference. call a news conference with the truth on this matter. we want it now.

    awaaaah, is so it is. I’m not going to sit here and judge those two partners, but i will sit here and judge
    the judicial system that represents dominica. There is something definitely wrong with the entire system
    shame on the choices that are made as a representation of the people and the country. Every decision
    made by the judicial system is a direct representation on the tolerance we as a country are willing to except.
    You ask yourself why has there been a rise in crime? who’s to blame when the system is not working as it ought to. I might not be as brilliant as the judges but i know when to call a damn ass a damn ass and that’s what you guys are. I am fortunate that i don’t live in dominica right now.

    About two weeks ago, one guy was denied bail for possession of less than one pound of cannabis, if I recall correctly. He was also represented by Mrs. Dyer. Now I am reading that two suspects of a tripple murder case were out on bail. If the case lacks evidence, they should not have been arrested, in the first place. Once they were arrested, presuming that the case had evidence, then they should not have been on bail. not for a tripple murder case!!! The use of firearm alone should warrant indefinite detention until the case was adjudicated

    We do not have an effective judicial system in Dominica.

    This is why persons committing all sorts of crimes are getting away and more persons are being influenced by this.

    Same way corrupt politicians are not being questions based on LAW…its the same way murderers are getting bail and are walking free.

    Then we will wonder why the Crime rate has increased?…

    Does the minister of legal affairs and the government by extension even have the moral authority to speak out against crime and prosecuting crime?

    Is the worse yet to come?….on this next level?

    the prosecution dropped the case without giving reason, they did not say no evidence

    you people have no idea what you all saying . if you knew the men who got killed and you know the runnings in new town ,you all would never make them comments there. they all worked for shakes. the police knew it was not them just used a strat… to find out what they knew about it . but its all good because one of their murderers is dead already . that the police know for sure .

    Huh?
    History has a way of repeating itself……Omara Small was freed after he was charged for the murder of Ossie Charles….where is he now?
    Time will tell.

    The police in the first place had no evidence and they knew it. They just wanted to arrest someone so they would look like they were doing their jobs. Our system is not crazy, the judge is not stupid. There was no case against the men. Maybe they knew who did the killing or maybe they don’t, but if they had done it i’m sure the police would have found evidence. I belive they are innocent. May the souls of the victims rest in peace. The Almighty would deal with those who killed them. To Shakes and Andy, I say to you both congrats and be strong, don’t let those comments keep u down. Now you all can move on with your lives, your record is clean and I’m sure your consciences are clear.

    I knew that would be the outcome. They charge the wrong set of people thats why. The people that pull the trigger was not them. Everybody know that. The murderers are still at large. The people they charge for murder were the employers the people that died were the employees. Why would you kill your own people in your boat and set it adrift for police to find and come back for you?
    Maybe the one they took out by club Dominica recently was one of the murders and the hit on him was out of revenge. who knows?

    u can’t keep a good man down. Shakes is a forgiving man, he gives with a willing and good heart. man wants bad for us but god always giving the best. Shakes god is good, we all knew u and your friend Andy was innocent. Shakes we all love you back home. take care, say hello to my cousins, u no who they are lol. take care. Dominicans, remember u all can’t keep a good man DOWN

  78. my personal opinion
    November 5, 2010

    our police and prosecutors need to be better trained in investigative techniques and the details of the law….for a murder charge to hold weight in court “intent” must be clearly proven, so is it a wonder that those criminals walk away scot free??? The charges are not relvant!

    I went to two of their cases! And everytime they had to postpone case cause the police didn’t have evidence! Police always and does never have enough! That’s why they always have to dismiss a case or drop charges! I think we need better police investigators to. Is not always money talks and bullshit walks! I knew these charges would of been dropped, they just didn’t have enough to prove it. Next time really dig in

    Why am i not surprised, when they were released on bail i know that would be hte out come. I know Andy and shakes very well Andy as a co-worker and very close friend but by no means should they be out. That is so unfair but this one I will have to say to the both of them do not forget what happened to Mwanga Freeman u get away one way somebody will get you in another way.

    What has become of our justice system? Three men (though not innocent beings) lost their lives and the perpetrator (s) are out there somewhere laughing at the law. I wonder if the police followed every lead. There was so much talk on the ground about who did what, who went to rescue who, who was under boat, who served as interpreter, who recieved the first telephone call etc etc. Everybody seem to know everything.They said it pointed to the interpreter and boat owner,. The boat owner was not there,but he knew about the plot – all kinds of information. the fellas dfied on shore and the boat was towed out and allowed to drift. Who was hiding under the bed on a side streeet when the police came. All kinds of information was flying around. To this day certain people have been despised.

    Alas! the hallowed walls of the courts are unlike a talkshow where any piece or string of emails is rationalized, torn apart, scrutinized and reduced to laymans parlance as irrefutable, credible evidence of corruption. In this mater the custodians of the law once they have analyzed what has been presented saw that the “EVIDENCE” cannot substantiate the charge. The “Victoria Street” talk cannot stand in court. So I suppose the rational evidence that is presented on radio as materials for guilt wil also be tested.

    I wonder if the “blue mealy bugs” will find interest in this outcome. It should bring them some joy. After all the “blue mealy bugs” are known to fight each other in public. They will tear down others but are adept in hiding theirs and supporters mischief.

    November 5, 2010

    No proof no case. It was wrong of the police to try to pin the murders on them anyway. Look who looks stupid!!
