A man who was involved in a deadly altercation in Fond Cole has been charged with manslaughter.
Don Hilton Bobb appeared in court on Tuesday and was granted bail in the sum of $50,000.
The charge stems from the incident which occurred last Friday in Fond Cole at a liquor shop during which Jashvin Jean Jacques was allegedly stabbed in the chest.
He subsequently died from the wound.
It is alleged that Jean Jacques assaulted Bobb with a cutlass and Bobb sustained multiple injuries to his head, finger and other parts of his body.
He was admitted to hospital but has since then been discharged.
Bail conditions include reporting to the Roseau Police Station every Monday and Friday between 7:00 am and 7:00 pm and surrendering all travel documents.
Preliminary inquiry is set to begin on November 25.
so much ppl these fellas done chapup in fondcole its about time somebody kill one….. i wonder how d hillside gang feeling now knowing that they gave him d cutlas an cokes into goin n loose his life…hillside black black allu will learn now to stop thinking allu can just cutup ppl an get away..somebody need to get rid of all of dem so our fondcole can have peace
Justice and Truth you have a loose tongue that needs to be kept in check. You seem to have an opinion om everything. Were you on the scene to say that the man is lying? I think the police should bring you in for questioning.
Boy is so dem immature stupid little fellas does put people in trouble eh, now the man have to answer in court for defending himself
Just like a case recently of a stabbing where a young woman stabbed someone else ƒø® no reason just because the young woman ωαѕ ignoring her insults and guess wat her lawyer said its self defense gave their lyin story n she won her case leavin d victim with all her scars ƒø® life jus bcuz she ignored the Dfendant..so that’s the justice system
Poor system! You inflict injury and wombs, you pay for it through monetary compensation and imprisonment. That is the Law and should be the DA Law.
I have always stated the DA Law is unfair. This would never happen in Canada or the US and I also expect Europe of all which comprises Great Britain.
How do we know it was mr green that committed the crime? he hadn’t had a trial in five years. They have not proven him guilty.
I am with you one hundred percent. It sounds fishy. Read my comments on the article. I hope that I am correct in all what I stated. May God help this man.
Mr green threatened witnesses right in the court, thats why he was not granted bail
Thank God everyone does not possess the identical opinion. Green depicted he has a bad temper and was angry.
Even though people threatened witnesses, can it be assured and proven that they will, in effect, carry out their threats?
Do you know the saying, “Their bark is louder than their bite?”
He should have been bailed out and given a restraining order. To keep him in prison for all those years made his situation, anger and health worse.
Those Dominican authorities are in dire need of learning about character, personality traits and psychology. They do not know how to deal with such situations. They do not know what it takes. Overall, re-training is required.
This justice system is so unfair. Wat if it was d oda way round. Judges in dominica need to do dre job properly bcuz personaaly when I heard da news I said to my self I mean he shud be charge yes but not wit manslaughter or murder. Dis is self defense n if is I hav to defende my life in situation like dat he may hav gotten 1 stabbed buh after he died I still givin him couple oda stabs. In dat case day will hav sumting to really charge me for. Silly ppl
Self defense? Think! You have not heard the full story and truth and may never hear it for the man is dead. You will not hear his side of the story and how this situation commenced. Ask yourself who started this fracas? Are you implying that the man who is alive did not start it? Why did the other man who died started it? This is what you have to ask yourself.
Mr Hilton did not start the fight. The dead guy left after he was told “I am not playing with children” and got a cutlass. He started it…so get ur facts straight before u sit behind a computer and…
DNO might not what to publish this but just a few days before he fought with his old uncle at Grand Fond….The police were looking for him and he was hiding in Fond Cole looking for his dead
So, if two men got into a fight, and one kills the other; does the living fighter (who will live to fight again)automatically becomes a “self defender?” Could somebody explain to me what self defense really is?
I feel this man told a blunt lie. It is not possible for him to injure a man in such a manner so as to kill him and he is saying the man raised his cutlass and injured him and that he was defending himself. Anyone who hears his story should conclude that he is not telling the truth. He is withhholding evidence.
I was in the middle of the conflict, the guy that died actually went home for his cutlass and came back and cut the guy that defended himself and all he told the kid he don’t play domino with little boys so get your facts straight!
fond cole again . I hope the wade brothers ask themselves question now and turn away from their violent ways.
Boy don ( snakey), i feel so sad when i heard that news boy i never no it was u na. Never heard u being in any altercations. Man jus hold strong n leave everything up to GOD. Don’t let ppl bring u down u nt the first n won’t be the las.ppl will talk brush that off ur shoulder, n jus chant a psalm man.
At this moment there is only so much DNO can divulge. Jean Jacques came after him with a cutlass. Surely something occurred prior to this which caused Jean Jacques to attack him. Unless he is a mad man. Generally, people do not attack others for no reason.
What about him? Did he have a weapon in his hand to retaliate or did he go to his home and get a weapon which inflicted a womb to Jean Jacques’ chest and killed him?
As the saying, “Dead men tell no tales.” I hope there were eyewitnesses to this incident and that if they are witnesses in Court they will tell the truth. Surely, at least someone else knew how this commenced and who was really the instigator. May the truth prevail.
To Don and his family… Be strong and continue to pray… We all know it was a case of self defense… All who knew the victim knows that… It was a tragedy yes but Don had to defend him… It was a case of kill or be killed. Hold on strong Don.. the People of Fond Cole knows you have never been in problems.. you are a law abiding citizen working hard to take care of your family. Your Family needs you Don. Unfortunately it ended so but we will continue to stand with you and pray for you and your family
self defense what bail that i hate that justice system in Dominica
Anyway he is still sick and not yet fully recovered from his injury. I am speculating that he may have to go to the doctor or hospital for treatment.
All I’m saying were you there we have to be careful when we say things if the shoe was on the other foot you would be singing another tune the justice system have to rule fool
Idiot it’s lawyer’s responsibility to prove self defense they must charge the man. So what you saying is I must just kill and don’t charge me when is defend I was defending myself. Hope you wise up!!
i know Don personally. This is a tragedy, i want to tell him hold on. every man has a right to defend himself, with that said let the wheels of justice roll. To the family keep on being supportive.
Justice is served wen it has to b wud u stand and let some body kill u and u can defend ur self go and give mr green bail na sor sot ,or go in d court and give him justice retard
questions to “be wise” was mr green charge with manslaughter? answer NO! #2 is manslaughter a bailable offence? Yes! so what you talking about?
Manslaughter is a bailable offence, but why is there even a charge when according to the report the deceased was the first to attack with a deadly weapon. Unfortunately, the deceased is dead because the other victim DEFENDED himself. Two men got into an altercation, one attacked with deadly force, he is dead, the other, alive but sustained injuries by the deceased prior to fighting back, defending himself. I do not get it.
Then why did MrGreen not get bail.I am just asking justice for one, justice for all.
Mr. Green acted in self defense? if u talking about self defense show me mr green wounds!
you need to know the difference between manslaughter and murder…
soon people like you will end up as a juror in the high court and mistakes will be made
well mr green do not have any right not to say that mr dorival giving lashes you people in dominica most be considerate
This was a case of self defence.
Did not read about that story. What did Mr. Green do? What was Mr. Green charged with? Maybe his crime was not bailable.
Reporting to the police for what? SELF DEFENCE Rateed ! chupes !!
don’t worry. it’s just the numb
Spell properly smh
Yo mean ‘norm’?
numb??????
norm
This is the first step of an easy walk to freedom for the axcused. I understand it is a case of self defense. He has every right to defend himself. That being so, he will most certainly walk free. But he must use that as a learning curve for himself. Other young people must also learn from that sorry incident. The aggressor always lose – no matter what the outcome.
