A man from Grand Bay, Samuel Pacquette, has been charged with shooting with intent and has been granted bail after he reportedly shot a Guyanese national in Bioche.
Police PRO, Acting Inspector Pellam Jno Baptiste said the incident took place on August 30.
He said the Guyanese man, Neville Stan Johnson, sustained a gunshot wound to his right knee.
He was transported by the Fire and Ambulance Services to the Reginald Fitzgerald Amour Hospital in Portsmouth where he received medical attention.
He was then transferred to the Accident and Emergency Department of the Princess Margaret Hospital (PMH) where he was examined by a medical Doctor and admitted.
Pacquette was taken before the Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday 31, August 2016 where the charge was read to him and bail granted.
Pacquette is a holder of a firearm license and a .380 pistol was recovered, Jno Baptiste said.
Sammy is a calm, law abiding business man, no wonder he didn’t kill the fella. likely travels with money to purchase cattle to slaughter for the market, hence the licensed firearm. Who knows, the guy may have seen an opportunity thinking Sammy is just a stranger. Let the investigation of this incident conclude to see what it reveals before making outrageous comments on this one.
Why is the victim of the shooting incident being highlighted as Guyanese ?
There are undertones .
Hmmmm Gt hmmm
He shot someone and he was granted bail. Under what condition did he shoot the man?
Is it any wonder they keep committing crimes and expect bail which some are granted. The well-being and lives of others do not mean much to them, if nothing at all.
Too many have committed crimes as also murder and are out on bail. Is it any wonder that crimes have increased?
I have considered the government should construct a secure building to keep those who commit crimes and whose cases have not yet been heard. This could aid in deterring others from committing crimes. It may also result in crime-decrease.
If it is possible, it could be constructed at Stock Farm. After their hearing, if convicted, they should be transferred to the prison in Stock Farm.
Are u afraid of Guyanese? Have u ever mad a count of the many different countries where Dominicans can be found living and working legally and ofcourse illegal ones as well?
So you mean we have Guyanese here too??!! Wow! South America has broadened its territory on a grand scale. Well, we have mountain forests; not just flat like the Amazon. We have Morroconians, Venezuelans, Dominicanas, Haitians, Guyanese, CHINESE, Japs, Ecuadorians, Middle Easterners tou les monde et se. Hey, and they are given more rights and previleges than we the true Sons of Dominica. Time ill tel.
Surprise!
Hopefully he is a legal resident. Dominica has become an international country. For a small country, this could eventually pose a problem in Dominica.
One Dominican to another, you are ignorant
Look around you see how many of your fellow Dominicans are diasporas. I for one have been living outside of Dominica for the last 30 years. Out of that 30 I have lived in three different countries undocumented for20 years. Come better than that.
