Kidnapping in Yam Piece

Information reaching Dominica News Online  indicates that two men have disappeared in Yam Piece in what appears to be a case of kidnapping.

DNO spoke to the girlfriend of one of the men who said she received information that the incident occurred on Saturday night.

She pointed out that she got information on Tuesday that her boyfriend and another man, who is about 16 years old, were on the side of the road when they were approached by a man with a gun.

She noted that the two were ordered into a vehicle and they have not been seen since.

She said she has been trying to get her boyfriend on the phone since Saturday night, to no avail. “Since Saturday night I have been trying to call my boyfriend and all I have been getting is voicemail,” the girlfriend, who preferred to stay anonymous told DNO. “He always answers the phone so I found this to be strange. But I did not worry a whole lot because I thought maybe he checking another woman or something like that.”

However she related that she became very concerned on Tuesday when she did not hear anything from her boyfriend and word began to surface that the two men were reportedly kidnapped.

“It was then I got the whole story,” she stated.

She said she has made a report to the police.

The police have not confirmed the incident –  Dominica News Online is following up on this story.

    Just want to make a simple comment, it is strange when I first heard the Chief of Police giving the report or responding to the press at the time he did not know the names of the persons or victims…….
    Mr Carrette, that to me is another incident of UTTER RUBBISH

    • PAPA WAY
      March 16, 2012

      ANY FACTS HERE..?

      (1) How do we know he/they were kidnapped?
      (2) Any ransom demands?
      (3) Is he known to Police? Does he have a file?
      (4) If he was kidnapped and he has a cell phone, when was it lasted used, and where?
      (5) Who is his service provider?
      (6) If he is in danger (or worth the effort) let’s access his phone records (or phone), locate the device and locate the man…and perhaps his kidnappers…
      (7) Let’s NOT rule out that he just wants to escape his girlfriend/girlfriends and is secretly living large in La Plaine with his ‘other’ secret family…
      (8) Who witnessed the abduction?
      (9) Do we have a vehicle description, licence/registration???
      (10)…blah, blah, blah….
      (11) Also forgot how easy it is to locate his device and the men if we use the technology available to us via the network providers…

      ENUFF ALREADY

    ok…. spoon feeding time again…what she is saying is that she wasn’t concerned about his safety, she did not feel that his life was at risk…that is what she meant when she stated that she didn’t worry whole lot…..you know we Dominicans are not very articulate

    and yes she was probably planning to put it too him for not answering the phone….who the hell wants their boyfriend to date another woman….even in polygamous marriages there is jealousy between the wives…

    women accept it but its not like they want it…low self esteem,convenience…are some of the reason why women accept this treatment from men

So why in God’s name are you looking for him on Tuesday? Didn’t it occur to you that maybe he still out “checking” the other woman? I think the other woman kidnapped him at gun point!

    Please do not cry down the country like that Dominica is not the next Trinidad, I just think that its time that people start placing their focus on what truly matters which is GOd ! I also believe like it or not that a lot of these crimes that are being mirrored from the fast life peoplee see going on , on the tele has a lot to do with parents and their involmentt with their kids !! Women have all become independent andd it is their right but in the fight for independence the children to have become independent and are left home alone so on.. Parents have no idea what their kids r up to and that is where the problem begins we live in a material world and the negative influences that we receive from the tv and the music that encourages fast lif fast living and fast money!!needs to be used as an example of bad and our kids have to be taught how to develope their own identities and not emulate the roles actors are paid to play on tv!! And just because some drug dealing rapper makes it big dosent means drugs is gOod ! And just because u see that in movies the criminals go free don’t mean u gonna go free aswell because for the resyt of your lives u will be taunted with a guilty conscience and remember always remember that God is watching !!!! We need to go back to the olden days where parrents priority was their kids and not their jobs!!

    Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey—whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching that has now claimed your allegiance.”

      Homeboy, you love your Millers eh. You just love to bring him up. This is not the first time and will not be the last. Do you my boy.

      Yeah he rode in your car back in the days, you all also dealt drugs together don’t leave out that part. (mouth open story jump out)

      When you talking about particular life and consequences use yourself, your friends and family as examples too.

      Maybe you should advise people to stay away from the life instead of always referencing Millers. What good are you doing for anybody by referencing Millers?

      All these people disliking your comments know it’s true…the truth hurts…you are right…Dominica is becoming the next Trinidad and the’s very sad for such a tiny Island. I love the Country Dominica but if things continue to go the way they’re going I don’t see myself visiting anytime soon. I’ll take my chances with the big country…I feel safer anyway…
