    Zandoli do you know there is a difference between a father and a daddy? Anyone can be a father but it takes someone extra special to be a dad/ daddy. It simple means that any man can impregnate a woman and he becomes a father but when he bears the responsibility of raising this child providing his evey needs​ then he becomes a dad/daddy. That’s who Murray was to Dorian. We all have fathers but not many of us have daddies. Before you put another comment get to know the people involved first. Murray didn’t deserve the end he got especially not from a son he loved, a son he gave the opportunity to have a very wonderful life.

    Murray was a gentle soul who did no harm to anyone. He loved his son and put his needs before his own. He is not responsible for the path that Dorian took. As a father he tried to instill the proper ways of life in him but he didn’t listen. He would visit his son whenever he was in jail. Is that the action of a man you didn’t care about his son? He loved him despite the choices he chose for himself. He was not just a father he was a daddy to Dorian. He didn’t deserve that fate not after cooking a meal for his son that morning and helping him with his tasks.

      Who does not know Murray,and would give his or her comment in anyway have nothing to blame. But someone who is from grandfond and would give his negative comment against Murray is nothing but an enemy Murray knew nothing about. Well, if there is one in the village that is representirepresenting that person, it shows that Murray was a good man. I’m not scared for him.

    @Not a herd follower and Zandoli – DNO isn’t the problem here. Bring your complaints to the Police PRO…as you can see he was the one who gave DNO the report. Some of you are too impossible.

      We are not impossible because the murderer did not give DON the report. If it was for the murderer DON would know nothing. So you are the one who is impossible.

    I am very upset with zandoli. you gave your name zandoli because u think like a zandoli. no sensible person would think that way. I hope u will be able to bail him out when the time is right zandoli. And he moves into the area you live. zandoli the same way your parents fertilize the egg with pleasure that created u and your parents were good parents, its the same way with that wonderful man that was so wrongly murderd by his son. He was a loving father. Before u go writing nonsence investigate first, and then go on publishing. stop your bullshit talk and have respect for the good man.

    The person whose name is called Truth. Have every right to be upset about zandoli. Who knows if that person named truth is not related to the deceased? The deceased was a good man in my village. Every one was scared of the son. He was raised with his father who treated him like any other responsible father. The road the boy took have nothing to do with the egg that his father fertilized from a woman. Zandoli you are discousting!! I am pretty sure that the person by the name of truth is related to the deceased,and have every right to fill that way.So as truth told you keep your stupid opion to your self. This shows what kind of person you are not sympathetic. You must check your self. Because life is short.

    It would be interesting to know why he bludgeoned his father. There is no excuse for what he did. However, what led him to do this atrocious crime, depriving someone, his father at that, of his life.
    Dead men tell no tales. Hope he does not lie about it.
    There are those who know them. Hope they can shed some light about this. Whatever, it will still not exonerate this son for harming his father which caused his death.
    It does not matter whether they lived as father and son or not. The fact is, he killed another human being which is a crime. He must be dealt with by Dominica’s Court of Justice.
    May his attorney who will obviously be paid by taxpayers’ money, not say it is his first time and he did not waste the Court’s time. This is foolishness. He does not deserve leniency for this. His father is no more and he is still alive. This is why the punishment should fit the crime.

    Mr zandoli the same way your parents fertilize the egg with pleasure which created you and they were good patents it’s the same way with that wonderful man that was murdered by his son. He was a loving father. Check your self before giving comment .Stop your bold sheet talk and have respect for the good man.

    There was no reason for this sense-life death. This man is mentally stable and is a frequent visitor to the prison. He is a threat to his family and the grand fond community. This was a sad incident for that community and even worst on the family.

    Very sad his will be behinds bars for years and his father is dead, I feel very sad for the family. I know for sure he is regreting what he did.

    One of the reasons I would go pro-choice and allow abortion; Is, if as a “parent to be” I could see what the son of a gun would become. Would flush the same down the toilet.

  14. March 22, 2017

    Why I’m i reading these ridiculous comment? Yes a man spread his DNA,he did not married the mother mayybe, so maybe he did not raise with both parents he’s not the fist and sure will not be the last.
    Now he us a grown donkey man he don’t need a father anymore so there is nothing the man could have dine to deserved this.

      March 22, 2017

      Just because you fertilized an egg in seeking pleasure from a woman, that does not make you a father in the real sense of the word. That just makes you someone who spread his DNA.

      Unless the accused was mentally unstable, if there was a loving relationship between the two, we would not be talking about this here.

      There are too many of our men who have no sense of responsibility when it comes to bringing children into this world.

      Don’t condemn the accuse unless you know the facts.

        Too many women too… it is on both sides.

        Now spill the facts since you seem to know…

        zandoli, do you know anything about the father and the son? There are some children you describe but who have turned out very well. There is no excuse for what you stated nor for what the son did.
        The son was given life. He had every opportunity to do well with his God-given life. He chose a different path, to the point of killing his father. For what?
        Some people become angry. They do not know when to turn their backs. They also do not know to apologize and make up. They prefer injuring, maiming and killing.
        If, as those who knew both father and son, said, that the father was a good man and the son was a bad man who terrorized the village, why are you taking the murderer’s side?
        Do you have a beef against your own father? You sound as a bitter person.

  17. March 22, 2017

    This is disheartening news. What lead a son to commit such an atrocious act against a parent? I’m keen on reading the facts of this case.

    • zandoli
      March 22, 2017

      Perhaps he was not much of a father to the accused. I don’t know these people, but it would not surprise me that the accused was not raised by both parents in under the same roof. If that is the case, he may not have been much of a father. This is speculation on my part, but that explanation seem plausible considering your question.

      • oh snap
        March 22, 2017

        Ridiculous response, so many people committing heinous crimes and they were raised by both parents.

      • Truth
        March 22, 2017

        Yes you said it all unless you know the facts. If you do not know the relationship between the father and son keep your mouth shut. Mind your dam flipping Business. your turn Will come when you least expect it. He was a loving father to his son. His son was a vagabond. His father tired his best with him, he chose his own way. If you need more information come to my village and you will get further details. And again keep your flipping opinion to yourself.

        Do you know these people zandoli for giving these ridiculous comments.. Next time before you go on DNO,make a search before.Think of how these good people fill. Put yourself in there places, if your brother son would kill his father, would you say that your brother son did not raise under the same roof with his father and is not much of a father? Some of you are just waiting to hear something happen and go running your mouth on DNO. if you so much want to be on DNO do like the police go and investigate. And don’t come with your crap saying concern Dominican.

    DNO, there is no such thing as a charge of alleged murder. The charge is murder. Period.

    • Let The Truth Be Told - Original
      March 23, 2017

      Probably he is not yet tried and found guilty which is why DNO stated “alleged.” The man has to defend himself before the Court. Let us see/hear what the end result will be.

  19. March 22, 2017

    Absolutely horrendous! What could possess you to do that to your dad!?

    “A Coroner’s inquest was convened and as a result, on the Tuesday 21st, March 2017, Daley was charged with the alleged murder of his father”……..

    DNO aren’t you being a bit redundant here? Of course, unless he is convicted, it is an allegation by the prosecution. To say he was charged with the murder of his father would have been totally appropriate and factual in this case.

      You need a very little small notebook on criminal law. Yes, he could be charged with anything – Howbeit, the charge (s) could be dropped, he could be found guilty as charged, or he could also be found not guilty of the charge (s). You are welcome.

      Zandoli yes he was charged for Murdering his father .You can like it or lump it!.And he has to get his full time punishment. DON gives the currect information. He needs to be in jail for good that when he comes out he will be an old man cannot do it to nobody again. Because he is a sycopath who no one needs in our village.
