There’s been a stabbing incident in the Kalinago Territory which has resulted in the death of a man.
The incident occurred on Saturday morning at Gullet River.
The victim has been identified as Nixon Francis and he was reportedly stabbed by his girlfriend during a domestic dispute.
A large crowd has converged on the scene.
A source on the scene told DNO by telephone that at 12:00 pm Francis’ body was still lying where he fell, hours after the incident occurred.
DNO is on the story and will bring more information as it becomes available.
Whats the story behind the stabbing? was it an act of self defense or just a violent act?
aye pplz the girl do flitching right and shout up right……………..it happen al ready kill it nah
Here in DA we have a history where the physical, verbal, and emotional abuse of women has been tolerated for years. Not that I am condoning any violent act by anyone, but our women have suffered domestic violence for decades.
RULE I TOTALLY AGREE WITH ITS ALL OVER EVERYWHERE NOT ONLY IN DOMINICA BUT WHEN WE IN A RELATIONSHIP AND ITS LIKE THIS INSTEAD IT HAS TO END IN VIOLENCE JUST LEAVE ASK GOD TO HELP YOU TO GET OUT AND MOVE BEFORE IT END IN VIOLENCE LIKE HOW HE DIED…. NO ONE DESERVE TO DIE THIS WAY
antbody knows if tiny did infact take the few days off?
@ justice
so it’s ok for a grown man to hit a child but not his wife…..well maybe the wife was disobedient too and she would not change her ways so he had to beat her..if a child can get blows for not abiding by the rule so should a woman…it’s only fair….. you spank a child when you can’t communicate with them..but when they are older 7 and up spankings should stop….if a woman can’t get beaten well then a child should not also…..
?????? put u on his lap r u tyring to say something ? dead man tell no tales abusers must be put out of their misery, blow pan wha hungry belle nar sweet, so continue do your lap dance go go girl. lil hussie

You are so negative. Say something kind. Do you ever look on the bright side and give people the benefit of the doubt? You twist and turn everything into nothing good and excellent. He may have been a kind person. This person should know.
Let us hope that God forgave him his sins and that his soul is resting in peace.
oh pls anonymous he was my cousin and he was a very nice person to me your mind is very empty like empty barrels make the most noise i hope urs aint end like this or in a worse situation, its something to rejoice cuz u aint know what the future holds……you are just being an incompuke
It is so amazing..like i always say is in death people have the most friends and family. i see so many people there saying he was my this, my dat, how much they love him, and you mean to tell me no one never extended a hand.. if you guys loved him so much you all should love his children too, and you know what situation they are in ebven todya most of you have not passed by to offer support to them. how many times did you all pass to see them or him for that matter… STOP the hypocrisy and live up to what you say.. if oyu loved him so much go and help the children with the funeral arrangements and cook something for them, make sure they are well cleaned and taken care off.
i will miss u u were a great cuz u went to meet mam lol she loved u alot
only GOD can and will judge my beloved cousin NIXON FRANCIS AKA. PLEME
I share the same centiments as many others,but first,I express my condolences with the family and friens. It is obvious that the public is already trying the case in the defense of the perpetrator. how amazing is this, What if it was the dead who had done this , what would b the verdict? of the public.all in all people should take the law in their hand in the name of self defence.lets just pray for the wellbeing of the children that GOD will work out a favourable verdict for all involved GOD BLESS
God is not a police. Whoever guilty will pay. pray for the children.
SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, THEN ALL THINGS WILL BE ADDED UNTO YOU? IF WE ONLY CHOOSE GOD THEN THE devil WONT HAVE ANY SPACE TO INVADE
HMMMMMM….What can i say about this one….sad but but…*clears throat* one thing that has been happening for many years is domestic violence…..something snapped and she had enough maybe…she obviously was defending herself but at the end of the day the dead cant speak!……………no man no putting his hand on me…my father did it once and i will never allow any man to hit on me…..and many women out there that stay and take abuse…get out now!!because you might just end up like either one of the two..and i know most of you stay silent..
I agree with you… and as a man, i want to let my fellow men know that it is wrong to put your hands on a woman… Sometimes, if things not going right or the way you want it, walk away.. If you know you can’t drink or each time you drink you start acting stupid and irresponsible, well don’t mess with the devil’s bottle.. Leave it alone or drink responsibly… Now, if you try to do that and your friends critisize you saying you can’t hang and all kind of nonsense, well they are not true friends, tell them: “as a boy, i didn’t know my limit, but as a man i do”…
@LR WHO SAID THAT YOUR DAD IS NOT SUPPOSE TO HIT YOU IF YOU DID SOMETHING WRONG..HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN YOUR DAD BIT YOU? NO WOMAN MUST ACCEPT ABUSE FROM ANY MAN, IT SHOULD BE STOPPED AND IF THATS THE WAY FOR THIS TO STOP SO BE IT..BUT ANY CHILD/ADULT LEAVING WITH THEIR DAD AND IS OUT OF HAND SPANKING IS PART OF GROWING UP, SO IF DO NOT WANT YOUR DAD TO BIT YOU AGAIN, WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING STOP IT.
“bit You” ????? BEAT
@justice i was very young and as i said he did it once…not saying that he wasn’t suppose to correct me then…i’m just saying that my dad only did it one time….why allow a man thats obviously aint him to do it!! …………….too many times some allow wotless behavior!!
well Dominicans smart…someone asking if she intended to tickle him with the knife because someone says that she didn’t intend to kill him…
yes when you are scared for your life…and you don’t want any more punches…you grab a knife in hopes of scaring someone away because we all know that grown men are afraid of tickle….
but he keeps coming at you and you you probably strike out in fear…..hoping that the tickle object would stop him
another one talking about how the body if full of arteries….yeahhhh…that’s exactly what you thinking about when you are getting beaten by a man…the circulatory system
Imagine a person goes to sleep and wakes up and later within the wink of an eye, through some misunderstanding or argument, as two examples, he/she is dead. How quickly this could happen. What I can state is, there is a reason why she stabbed him. Under normal circumstances a woman at home would not resort to this sort of violence for no reason. Probably she may not have intended to kill him but the area where he was stabbed this caused his demise.
It is the job of her defense and the government prosecutor to debate this in the Court of Law, according to her testimony and that of other witnesses, if any about her intent, whether it was premeditated or instantaneous – on the spur of the moment – and what truly caused his death. Although he was stabbed, he could also have died of shock, a heart attack and losing a lot of blood.
Why do you think that some people are acquitted and others are not? It is due to evidence presented, how it is presented and which side was instrumental in pleading the case for and on behalf of the perpetrator and on behalf of the government.
In Canada, it is stated, “on behalf of the Crown.” Canada is still a Sovereign country.
Keep in mind that a crime and/or murder committed is committed against “The People”, namely the public. In this case it is against Dominican residents. They do have a right to get upset about crimes and murders in DA. They are not allowed to take matters into their hands. The Law is the authority and The One to handle it.
We are the world and we are the people of the world. We who are Dominicans and who reside outside of it are obviously angry and disappointed at what is occurring in DA.
Prayers are needed for many who have swayed far from God, who do not worship Him and not recognize Him as the Creator and Ruler of the world. This is caused by the manner in which people live and the company which they keep. Some people do not know when to run, very fast and far away from uncomfortable surroundings and trouble. They also do not know how to control their emotions and temper. It is said, “Think twice before you talk.” I also say before taking up a weapon, ask God for patience. It works! This murder is another typical example. We will hear more about it.
accept my sympathy noth families. my prayers are with you all.
u people are just way out of hand. get ur facts and stop pinpointing. the kalinago u are just very stupid.picture urself in that position? u are a real stupid carib just like the man that was killed. . .get a life or go get wrk to do
Excuse me, but here u are telling one to get facts and u calling the man stupid. What facts do u have to say such a thing about the man.
u are sooooooooooo ignorant.
I am deeply saddened to hear of incident and the death of Nixon Francis a.k.a Pleme.
I extend condolences to his children, relatives and friends during this very challenging and difficult time. My prayer is that the Lord will keep the children of this family safe by allowing his favour and grace to be upon them always.
ba mwh dis zor kayshoy, The young lady killed the man, yes, but we do not know the other half of the story, let us wait, allu too fassst to point fingers and blame government and De devil and everything else! RELAX! Chaybay brakes!! and another thing again, Men, Never mess with a girl who is on her period!!! u gonna get killed!…. ALLU CAN DISLIKE MY COMMENT IF ALLU WANT! SAY COMME SA ZOR YAY! not my business…. i pray for the family of the deceased and May his soul rest in peace… AMEN
STOP IT! Just pray for this woman. She has a family.Stop and just pray.Who is with me on this?
this leap year has really gone bad
@ cha!!
I began the year not realizing that it was a Leap Year until I was reminded about it. For some strange reason I cannot recall the Media said anything about it or made much of it.
I hope this is not what she did and a quarrel ensued which caused her to stab him.
As I go about my business I do not remember that it is a Leap Year. For a moment I forgot it until you stated it and it made me smile.
It is usually stated that during a Leap Year there will be a lot of adverse occurrences.
Have you heard that this is a good year to propose and that during a Leap Year women can ask men to get married?
Setting jokes aside, a life has been lost, has been taken away. She must have been very angry to do such a thing. Let us wait and hear what she has to say about her reason for murdering him. Those who knew them should be able to say if there were previous problems in that relationship. Witnesses will also give their testimony.
You know the saying, dead men tell no tales. He is not here to defend himself. May his soul rest in peace.
That is just a trick of the devil. He has us rooted in fear and all these myths and we just accept them and wait for the tragedies and when they do come we put the blame on them (in that case leap year). It is time we open our eyes
Very sad news indeed, I wonder if it would help to put tracking device on the ankles of all convicted felons once they are released back into society or deported from another country? It can’t hurt. People are desperate the ones who have need to help the ones who have not. United you stand devided you fall.
Some of the remarks on here may ring some truth to them and at the same time some are shocking, one should not solve any conflictt with violence. On the other hand,what could have made this woman snap and go to that extent. And unfortunately the violence against women in DOMINICA is so bad many are turning a blind eye to it.Even police officers are able to beat their wifes and girlfriends the “claim to love” and NOTHING is done about it.In North America and Canada its the same, however these men and women know that there’s consequences for their actions, and serious ones at that. So if one in Dominica has no one to go to for help, then this is going to be the result.There comes a time when one just has enough.
Has the DA government not passed a Law against child abuse and also women; adults in general?
Last week the Canadian government passed another Law, one against elder abuse. There are family members and also caretakers who seize their property and bank accounts while they are unable to help themselves due to illness. The stories are many. Those people will be prosecuted. It may not prevent the greedy and wicked to prey on the vulnerable but if caught, they will be severely punished. Such a Law was long overdue. Many adults/senior citizens have suffered at the hands of those who take care of them. No exception women, wives, girlfriends who are unemployed or are not working while they nurture the children and who are dependent on men.
May the Dominican government do something about all this and soon.
Laws are enacted to protect the vulnerable. This also includes the gullible.
Dominica,Dominica,Dominica!Wat can i say,it’s a leap year and things like that usually happen around this time of year.if it’s not a murder here it’s a murder else where but we as Dominicans have learn to what is right in so society and refrain from all these negativity….but we must first start by cleaning out our one-sided law system,our bias organizations and our corrupt government leaders, who heads of corruption and our weak law system,that breeding criminals…but what kind i say am only human just another poor girl in society…PEACE AM OUT YA.
This is truly a sad day for Dominicans. This story is disturbing on many leves. It speaks to a lack of police presence for the protection of our citizens. it speaks to a lack of emergency medical services in Dominica. Most disturbing eas the fact that a Dominican would stoop so low as to snap a picture of a dead or dying man, and post it on facebook. We need to spend time in discussion of social unrest on our beautiful island, because no one deserves to die like that. That was someones son or father – where was the police when the aktercation was in progress? I am deelpy saddened by the events that have been recentlt unfolding on our once peaceful and nurturing motherland.
i agree withw at she do he was beating her she should have stab hm uin his neck
Why would girlfriend kill him
There must have been a lot of hatered in this stabbing.
I mean to stab s/body to deaf. Waw. I could hear screaming I will kill your mother……..!
DEATH
woman is the weaker vessel but we can only take a limit , guess enough is enough
Sadly, as society progresses so do the issues that come with development. I feel nostalgic about life in Dominica, 25,30 years ago, but I also know that it is impossible to revert to how things used to be. We have been exposed to so much, and have become desensitized as well. We have seem to lost our values, morals and the ability to differentiate between right from wrong.
Our children o longer play hide and go seek, moral, rounders, hopscotch, marbles, read the student’s companion or go to church every Sunday, or even respect their teachers. They are more consumed with what society has to offer now which is time in front of the computer, telephone etc. Being influenced by so many avenues that we have little or no control over what they read, hear, or see. We are not even sure how to discipline.
It is unfair to blame everything on lack of employment, although it may have a hand to play, but we should really look at the bigger picture. Before our parents were not all employed in technology or government companies, they actually toiled the soil, consume their foods, take it to the market, or go overseas as hucksters to sell. Now toiling the soil or raring animals is no longer cool.
Our society is consumed with a certain type of lifestyle that cripples great ideals about humanity, compassion, integrity and most of all love. We may mever get back to where we used to be, and we may not even want to go back there at all. Looking forward we just have to be more vigilant in the things we can control, and try to see how much influence we can impart on our own circles of friends or family. It is a challenge not just in Dominica, I think that the world would be a much better place if we each do our part and see how we can help society become less desensitized to violence
I remembered when this couple got together I was a little girl.this woman was beautiful I remember like it was yesterday.the moment they become involved she became his punching bag.those who know them knows w
What am talking about .for the people who being very inconsiderate at the moment think your thoughts over because this is a very sentitive moment for the family especially the children who saw their mom being abused over and over. I witness some of this abuse with my own eyes .just a tip(if they want evidence try the police station am sure this couple name is on record many times.this is not a time to be funny many lifes is affected by this sad situation.not that it matter to u but I have been away for more than a decade and I can’t believe this abuse was still going on.I feel sympathy for his family but not him it was a long time coming every human can tolerate but so much.I say it was self defense .be trough francess.
well both of them use to beat on each other, they were each others punching bag for decades now and if he had killed her i am sure the same sentiments would be expressed. this has been a community problem for a long time and i know of only a hand full of people who tried to interven.today eveyone has a story about what they know, what they witnessed, How many people have a story of what they did to try to help. abuse in this family have been going on for over 20 years now. WQho do we blame? well we could blame the police for never taking it a step further or probably for not investigating due to numerous complains on both the man and the woman part cause i am 101% sure that tere are reports By Nixon As well as Frances. so please people try to be considerate in this matter not for you or your neighbor but for the children who are seriously trumatised right now. if you can extend a helping hand now is the time to do it. These children are on their own right now and will appreciate all the help and support they can get. either emotionally or any other ways possible. for some of us we were maybe too young to help or interven in BIG PEOPLE business at the time we saw the abuse going on….some were afraid….some thought satying away was best…what ever the reason what is done cannot be undone…but we can all make it better for the ones most affectedd…the children….
Hmm, I wonder if the police still calling it a splat of crimes… 2011 ended with a very large increase in the crime and they call it a “Splat of crimes.” I wonder what are they going to say now that it is going all through 2012.
ok i’ll take a vacation for a day or two no more comments from tiny in the next 2 days ok
Why not take the remainder of the year? That would make DNO safe again.
The hypocritical prayers of the so call pastors and priest that have the country like that. They will nor escape the raft of God. The longest rope has an end.
The gov`t needs to employ more police officers cuz the number of officers will not be able to carry out all the criminal investigation at this point in time. Too much crime in Dominica. It`s so sad and threatening to go out nowaday
Are these people for real using these gloves? seriously? for real for real?,, I wonder what their next assignment will require them to use these gloves again.
So what do you suggest they use or do not use?
boo boo boo boo boo DNO. all u too bias whats da point of having a comment section when all u selecting certain comments to go thru.everyone is entitled to their opinion boo booo booooooooooooooooooooooooo.its pointless to have this forum if comments are filtered…boo to u a million times and more.booooo boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
ADMIN: You probably did not read our disclaimer. Please take some time to read it. It is found at the end of each story.
boo boo boo just read the damn ting
dno we need more photos to no who the people are you can do better
Why is everyone acting like this is a new trend? Men women and children as soon as they get angry or feel threatened they pick up a stone or cutlass. Well some just resort to cursing one another. But in the womans defense, she knows the police won’t help her and those men in Dominica are so it’s just unreal.
when someone is bad,the only solution is to get rid of them permanently. had they gotten rid of those crimminals and robbers they wouldn’t be tormenting the nature isle. get rid of the bad eggs man.
Since you`re no saint yourself ,born in sin, shouldn`t God just get rid of you too? You think God only judge the murderers and the robbers? yours may be hidden in the dark but God knows and sees everything. he gave his life for the criminals and the robbers and the back bitters too,those who proclaim to be saints but have a heart full of hate. If we were all saints he wouldn`t have had to die. So search yourself parro before you make yourself judge.
Are you justifying such a crime? People, if you cannot live with someone then leave the person alone… You did not give life, so you have no right to take it away!
What? Should we just shoot everyone in jail? Should we just forget about judge and jury and just go straight to the executioner? WAW…When you do that, who is to determine who is a bad egg? What if the executioner decides that you are a bad egg? would that be OK?
It appears that our little island has become close friends with violence to include murder. Comments like that of Parro is getting liked by many. That to me is a clear indication that our society is deteriorating. Life, especially that of others, seem to have lost it’s importance. Quite a sad situation.
Papa Bondier what is really going on. I want the nature isle. Back the way it was.
tell my darling nick hello for me
u still want Nick after he mayb all take a rod
Thumbs up kendel
who in this world wud dislike that comment dat makes so much sense n u act like ntn is wrong
Why not go back to Columbus days….you recall the amount of killing it had then and by who….Guess you were born today and had no idea crime was around since the beginning of time!!!
d\a turn already uno if u canna beat them join dem
my heart goes out to the children they had together and any otherthat he had ( if any ). this is just so sad for our country.they have lost their father and their mother goes to jail. oh boy. i really hope it was self defense .
Chances are she will serve very little jail time.She’s lucky it was ‘only’ murder because if she was caught with weed she would have gotten a life sentence<<< Dominican law
For what its worth, this is a rather sad event. It adds furher weight to the declining state of social affairs in this here country.
DNO whilst grateful for the rapid info, the details remains highly anticipated since speculation has gone rife.
This is really unwelcomed news.
The woman did not intend to kill the man. Look at where she stabbed him. It may be his dorminant hand. It just happened to hit an artery so he bled out. i am sure thats what she is going to say… Sorry that he died. There could have been reform in Christ for both.
What was she intending to do with the object used to stab the deceased? Tickle him? Scratch him?
One mistake we often make is to snatch a weapon in a heated situation. Once you pick it up, you will use it with deadly aim, at least to put down the target. In the process of incapacitating the target, you can cause death.
Solution? Fight without weapons.
(Now, don’t get on my case about promoting violence. I am not. The reality is that even as we read this story, some persons may very well be plotting a fight or involved in one. So, i say, no weapons.)
This is a simple case of battered woman syndrome, she was subjected to abuse from this man for years. Her intention may not to kill him , but on the other hand maybe she just snapped . There is only so much one can take
shut ur Peeping Tom. Do you know what happened?
The human body is filled with veins and arteries which means a person can die from a stabbing to any part of the body once there is enough blood loss. Stabbing indicates intent to kill. The only way I could understand is if it was done in self defense. Otherwise, it was an intent to kill.
THIS IS SHOCKING NEWS TO ME. WOMAN KILLED MAN. I
HOPE IS SELF DEFENCE BECAUSE I KNOW THERE ARE SOME
WOMEN OUT THERE THAT ARE NOTHING SOFT.
its a cycle to keep a balance in the spirit world the devil needs souls for every baby being born.
Some of us don’t seem to think of what we are posting.
shut ur darm mouth …wit u and ur allah crap !! Fool
Oh my! Such intolerance!!! Ewwwwwwwwwww!
No CONFIDENCE IS THE JUSTICE SYSTEM! Thats the result. restore the confidence in our justice system, stop taking a millions years to settle cases and lets get our citizens to trust our justice system to settle disputes. else we will more and ore murder cases!
All you so called christian call on the the blood of jesus and the christian community for one thing but when them dirty political leaders rubbing de country blind and the christian leaders getting their cut i won’t talk,
Well said.
Is the lady also from Gullet River? is she a Carib too? this would be interesting to know.
Lord help us.
i wonder where THAT SO CALLED PERSON CALLED “TINY” went to school…
I gave you a thumbs down. You should know he did not go to school.
i am so scared
wow, people lets stop jumping to conclusions. more info will come soon, so wait patiently, till we hear the whole story, then we can pick sides. lets not be biased
rasta your bour boy pinnez support your statement 100%. i do believe that she was defending herself.
Oh all ye wicked men/ women of the land who has brought curse on Waitikubuli through evil, lying and cheating ways. Why oh why? I hear screams from the mountain tops and wailing from the bottom of the deepest valleys and I ask myself; when will it end, oh when will it end?
Dominica, oh Dominica what have you done to deserve such calamities. 
Why can’t one just walk away when there is any form of arguement? The saying ” It takes two to make a quarrel”. Now one is dead and the other in deep mess.
Interesting…wonder if the Highest Poverty Level and Dominica being the Poorest in the Caribbean
Are these things related…Anger Management doesnt stand when Poverty is High across the land.
Sad to hear about the Death of this Man..but when the Pressure hits inside it blows like a hurricane and wild fire throughout all sectors of society….folks and to repent including the Dominican Pretenders of the Truth..before their is calm on the Nature Isl…and these are facts…
Hold onto it..will set you mind free…..
Woman Time I guess
I dont no wat happen….actually none of us do cuz we were not there……bt one thing i do no is that it is never easy to leave a man especially if kids r involved….or u have no where to turn……..when a man breaks u so u may not b able to turn to no one then hmm only god knows…..but I do feel sorry for the both families…may we get the whole truth n not jus the part where d man is d saint n d woman d devil….n may god have mercy on all of our souls
I have realized that the government is who enforcing te laws in dominica ow and not the police. what do you expect. I can remember when we hardly had a murder right now its like every month. The government has yet to make a statement concerning crime because they are just as guilty as well.
Whats going on in our beautiful country Dominica.
I noticed we are killing one an other.It’s time for the goverments to put put in the acts.
To all the ignorant ones that just come on here to blahjay are you guys serious? Are we not able to distinguish what is wrong and what is right anymore? DOes everything that happen on the island have to end up being the leader’s fault? Like seriously????? So tomorrow if the leader decides he is jumping over a bridge will the people follow him and do it too? We need to be careful especially with our tongues. (Las palay sot)
CA. We are not blahjaying.We are are serious about the escalating crimes in our beautiful Dominica.
The Goverments are the leaders of the Nations.They are the ones we have to complain to.So wake up boss smell the caffe.
To date, I have not heard a word from our leader since all these crime been goinging on, this to me is troubeling. A good leader rise up and lead in times of unrest, where are our leaders?.
seriously??? smh..
women are being abused by their men, we need to have shelters or safe places for these women to turn to, it is the norm for us to turn our backs on domestic violence, womenn cring out for help but none available, family encouraging them to stay and work things out, we can just take so much
enough is enough, we need help now
Men are being abuse by women as well nothing is being done about it, had it been the other way there would not be enough water in DA to wash you all tongues on the guy
men abuse women i agree and visa versa but if a man hitting you get a frigging restraning order or get out of the relationship stop being an duffus and stay dere and say is for the sake of the children.
The BVI (Dominican) girl had a restraining order.
She also got out of the relationship too!
women are killing no wait wats wrong
Seriously we can’t be sayin until we no he real story
But some me do take advantage of there women instead of showing love to them. Come on how much can u take if ur being used n abused u most get fed up n definitely if u can’t use ur hand u will get some extra force in her case she used a knife.
Something needs to be done about these crimes too many man. Even citizens overseas getting killed. Like we have a blight.
By the off chance do we watch shows like snapped and deadly women. The line between sanity and insanity is really a filament. it’s easy for any of us to snap and do something that is against the law. Please wait for the facts of the situation to judge. some of us are saying that if she were in an abusive relationship she could have left and found another man. Do we realize how many of our women and men are in abusive relationships and cannot leave for whatever reason. It is however always sad when we must revert to violence to solve a problem. Pray wont do a thing for us. We need to look inward and look at what’s going on withing us with a resolve to improve on those qualities which are not righteous.
mondieu somebody sent me a pic.ah ah ah thats just brutal.tsk tsk tsk
This is a very sad moment in time for both families but the fact remain that a man reaps what he sows. And I would like to appeal to all Dominica woman to stand with this lady. She has been suffering from abuse for years now and the law officers just treat it as an internal family matter. This man has tried cutting off one of her breast,he has attacked her with a fishing spear so she is infact just being lucky to put an end to this guy so that no other woman will suffer under his hand. So people when you all are commenting please be careful of the venom that you all are giving out. Again I am a man and i am appealing to all woman to stand with the lady. i’m not saying she did a right thing but when society is falling our women they should stand and be resolute. To My cousin Francis R.I.P. I warned you many time about your actions you use to say big man rule. now the time has come, your rule is over.
you seem to be informed but do you remember the time she stabbed him, the time she burst a bottle in his head and do you remember the time that she cut him…..they both inflicted pain on the other… it is very sad
Yes I know it . But do you think she would just react wethout an action? Do you think there will be a fire without smoke? Do you know that he once broke one of her arm and after she recovered he broke the other arm? Are you aware that on some occassion she would be moving around without 1 or 2 finger nails? Its becuase he would root them out and the poor lady would keep on saying that she lost them becuase she pound her finger. Are you aware that on some days she would be missing patches of hair? Are you aware that this lady has been dragged on the road like a bag of rubbish? This guy is my cousin and I warned him many times. His answeres were, “Big Man Rule.” There are many more kalinago women suffering from abuse and i want them to come out and take actions. If I ever become a leader surely i will make it my duty to protect my kalinago men and women but when they form the fool i must find a way to deal with them to make my communnity a peaceful place. By the way enjoy your day
look here i am not saying that what he did to her in exusable what i am saying is both of them have to take the bleme….they abused each other for far to long…and we have to take our blame too for not making a more radical effort into helping them and the childrennnnn i sympathize deeply with the family but if it did not happen this way it would have happened thhe other way round.. and yea my dear i am aware of more than you think and please get some of your stories straight before you type it. the second time my aunt arm broke was cause she fell on her way when it was raining i was right there…. now is a time to be there for the family…the children…
updates coming soon man…will see wats happens yh…self defense is how i see it
what i would like to know, why when a crime is committed by a woman the first thing one hear, oh it is self defense, however when it is a man without getting all the facts some people always bash the man, call him all type of names etc, too much stereotype, the same should apply to both sexes
days gone by women used to kick men in their balls, grab it, bite it etc, using a deadly weapon is going for the kill, no one have the right to take another life, period
My condolences to the family
stan u hardly hear of a woman killing a man, is always the men that doing, am not saying that she was right, but come on something went wrong she could not take no more. read his cousin comment (RASTA)my hearts goes out to both family
yes bowdel,where u on the scene? are u one of their children? watch ur mouth
Is it normlessness, it is just pure evil, is it the end of time? What is going on on this nature Island? We need prayers, we need to go back to the days when I grew up. I was raised by an entire village and every senior had correcting power. These days, everything is a fight, a gun, a kill, gosh man..it needs to stop. We need our country back
PSALM 23 1,2
THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD I SHALL NOT BE IN WANT HE MAKES ME LIE DOWN IN GREEN PASTURES HE LEADS ME BESIDE GUIET WATERS
dats becuz ur mom didnt kno who ur dad was so d village had to help raise u.i am against any form of domestic violence…..d lady was tired of being d man dam punching bag.like she was his child….im glad she did what she did she should hve done it sooner.

jump high jump low……i will say it again…..the 2 places that are most important here…the homes and the legal system…but the legal system can only impose punishment after the crime is committed…
a lot of parents don’t know how to raise kids properly…kids will go wrong…they are going to disobey…they are imperfect with young inexperienced mind….it is u to the adult to guide them on the right track unsighted proper approach…give age appropriate discipline and punishment…
and most of all everyone needs to feel loved….i remember some years aback in a certain state in the US…the officials were so fed up with crimes being committed by young people that they wanted to pass a law in which kids under 18 should not be out after 7 at night…
any kid under 18 who would were caught would be dealt with but they realize that it was too difficult to be enforced and the police were too busy with other crimes to chase down teenagers
the parents don’t know better and their kids end up being the same type of parent and the viscous cycle will continue….so you ministers teach your flock…because those christian are abusive as the non christian..teachers do your part…comfort these kids who are full of anger …
like i said we are living in an imperfect world and there will always be crime but we can certainly decrease it ….
errors..guide them on the right track using the proper approach…there is a right and a wrong way and illegal way to correct your kids…
and it is up to the adults…stop being impatient with your kids…don’t have any kids if you have no patience cause you might just be populating the world with another criminal
tiny u living on DNO man. you have to comment on everything and reply to everyone’s comment. i suspect you have some serious issues and DNO not the place to let it out. go see a counsellor
i am a a counselor
DEEPEST sympathy to all those who are adversely affected by this unfortunate incident.
There is never a goodtime for crime. WE listen to the radio stations and television programmes and there is no sense that we as CHRISTIANS are in the lenten season . Its a shame. There is the deepening in the influence of SATANISM in our beloved Dominica. Vampires are all over the place. Young people are into ” Worshipping the other sides ” and we have lost it. However there is hope since Jah is still alive. We al have to pray for our country our families and our communities even for those who are our enemies.
some people need to be careful on their comments and think before typing one. if u cannot say something nice just dont say anything. thank you
While women are weeping and wailing on behalf of their children at the Old Mill there is yet another killing in our beautiful island. JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL. We NEED you Lord more than ever before. Let us continue to pray without ceasing
While women are weeping and wailing on behalf of their children at the Old Mill there is yet another killing in our beautiful island. JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL. We NEED you Lord more than ever before
i’m a man but i believe that she was defending herself.. .
How you know that?
Don’t mind Tiny.
ting’ why are u talking like u kill people already.that’s why there;s laws to protect the citizens.if a man abusive to a woman all she have to do is leave walk away go find other man.if we all have to kill people in our way dominica going to empty soon.
real talk!!!
another dumb idiot …if only it was so simple….wouldn’t life be wonderful
when we leave and find other people they still coming and kill us.
yuo know what amout of blouse that man may have given her already and the justyice system may have failed her. well i know you don t have to fight to be a man or woman but what do you do when ur back against the wall?
smh
Prayers cannot do anything for Dominica right now. De country have to suffer for the sins of its leaders. When christian men stay idle and moomoo (for too long) de Devil has a field day. Dominica is lost, lock stock n barrel
we need to stop blaming politics for every thing that happen and as for your idea of how dominica is u a just bias insted you should say lets pray for tings to get better. god is not a police ma..
and as for the people that saying woman defence >>>>. you were not at the scene, u a not witnesses so dont jump to conclsion and in general i will say every man and woman should be responsible for his and her own action not the leaders of of the country…
pure an utter rubbish
pray can do every thing we just need faith.
Lance my boy, Dominicans hate the truth u making an
Incorrect statement, these days u must say crime come
With development this is a more acceptable statement
You have a solid point. We fail to remember the sufferings that Jesus went through for our sins. See what happened to Sodom and Gommora. Though matter how upside down and inside out, back to fornt things are and that politics has gone over board, we should still continue praying. I am doing like Parrie and I say that only 20% of the population has not resorted to crime. If this is a sign of poverty, then there should be an 80% increase in earnings across the board. If this is a sign of drug dealings then call in Scotland yard. If the justice sysytem has failed, bring in foreign judges(non-Antigian). If this is a sign of failure from the no law no constitution guy, then call in a vote of no confidence. Do not do like him and take the law in your hands. Please don’t.
Lord We need you in Dominica!
We need to go back to the Heart of Worship!
i wish people would understand this
god is already here in dominica is mankid that have to and need to cling unto him
Oh my this is very sad why should this happen. To the rest of my fellow family who are griving rite now I pray god give us strenght as we have jus lost another member of our family.this lady is very wicked she always said that she would kill him but god is gOod we will get our justic. She will rot in jail. Tiny I see u have nothing better to do wit ur time u are no different from the devil himself. Really sad I’m crying again.
Kalinago shut ur mouth….u kno what d lady was goin thru.? Put urself in her shoes and consider ur words carefully.i myself would do a way wit mr long time.no woman deserve to b beaten regardless of the circumstance. She fed up and it was time to get up and fight back……
She fed up and took the law in her hands, there’s no justification for her action
@kalinago,would she just stay so and promise to kill him? where were you to stop what ever was going on ,did you ever talk to your family member about the relationship or his actions.I know that blood is thicker than water but we must stop turning a blind eyes at the negative action of our families and call them out about it.
Come on.
two sides to every story..lets wait.
Women do not kill their partners just like that. I am not saying her actions were right, just saying the case needs deep analysis.
the point is the man come an want to fight wit u so take a knife an stab him self defense chec it!!
rubbish
self defense
i have known the couples for some years and have been fighting .but he was bleed to death
What’s the matter?
What really happend?
Allah says in the Quran: They ask you concerning alcoholic drink and gambling. Say: In them is a great sin, and benefits for men, but the sin of them is greater than their benefit.’
Chapter 5:91 (Holy Quran) Shaitân (Satan) wants only to excite enmity and hatred between you with intoxicants (alcoholic drinks) and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allâh and from As-Salât (the prayer). So, will you not then abstain?
The root causes of this senseless killings is paganism. The people of Dominica fail to understand that in order for us to build a righteous society is for them to give up the European interpretation of Christianity they have in their minds. I know this truth is hard to accept but God does not like the arrogant man.
When people fail to have fear of God in their hearts then their desires are let loose.
wow…the muslim countries are doing soooo much better
Of course, Saudi Arabia which enforces Islamic law is far far better than Dominica, so is Oman. The crime rate is extremely low. Take a look at all the Muslim lands that have war you will see clearly its because the West have invaded these lands. Afghanistan = Invaded
Iraq = Invaded
Palestine = Invaded by white “Jews”
Kashmir = Invaded by Hindu pagans
Name another Muslim country or else there is safety, love and compassion in these countries. Saudi Arabia for example, one can leave their door open, no one bothers your things, yet in Dominica things are getting worse.
Take example from this Christian woman http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsuESEVwd4o&feature=related
I wouldn’t be too quick to condemn any form of Christianity for your “prophet” and founder of Islam was not just a pedophile justifying all his immoral deeds with new recitations but also a murderous individual who killed many more than he pardoned. And even then, those he pardoned had to pay a tax to remain “free” and alive.
Rama, do you have a copy of the Quran in your possession? Have you read a single leaflet about Islam from Muslim sources?
If you want to learn about Islam why not look into Islamic sources rather than listening and believing in the lies you were taught by Christians. By the way they were the ones who forced Christianity on our ancestors. Will you follow something that was forced on your ancestors? Learn from this Christian woman and don’t make the same error. Even if you are not a Christian a great lesson can be learned. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsuESEVwd4o&feature=related
When you meet the unbelievers, smite their necks, then when you have made wide slaughter among them, tie fast the bonds, then set them free, either by grace or ransom, until the war lays down its burdens. – 47:4
(different translation: ) When you meet the unbelievers in the battlefield, strike off their heads, and when you have laid them low, bind your captives firmly.
Those who are slain in the way of Allah – he will never let their deeds be lost. Soon will he guide them and improve their condition, and admit them to the Garden, which he has announced for them. – 47:5
Muslims are harsh against the unbelievers, merciful to one another. – 48:25
hey..thats what the koran teaches!!!
KORAN commands to kill infidels:
Allah is an enemy to unbelievers. – Sura 2:98
On unbelievers is the curse of Allah. – Sura 2:161
Slay them wherever ye find them and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. – 2:191
Fight against them until idolatry is no more and Allah’s religion reigns supreme. (different translation: ) Fight them until there is no persecution and the religion is God’s entirely. – Sura 2:193 and 8:39
Fighting is obligatory for you, much as you dislike it. – 2:216
(different translation: ) Prescribed for you is fighting, though it is hateful to you.
Careful with dem crazy Muslims!
You must quote the verses in their entirety. This is deception. Stop visiting non Muslim sites about Islam. Get a Holy Quran and read, educate yourself.
Muslim_Always, I am very well versed in the Koran and the Hadiths having converted from Islam to Christianity. You may be a recent upstart from your country of Dominica, but I am familiar with the Hadiths, Koran ,and the writings of Ajiola, Bucaille, Huraira,Dawud, Pfander, etc. The question is not what I am familiar with BUT if what I have said about Islam or the so-called prophet is true. Deny the oppression in the 21st Century by Islam being perpetrated in Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iran, etc. At least any oppression by Christians was done in ancient times. Islam is still stuck in the Middle Ages.
DNO,
Do you have any stats on violent crime for the year so far? Like number of murders, rapes, robberies, and other violent acts?
Ask the government because they keep saying crime is on the decline
Trickle down CRIMINALITY!! I have a suggestion find and prosecute the criminals who are rooming free in the Island, like the ones she attempted to murder G.O.N Emmanuel and hi wife while the slept peacefully in their beds on CHRISTMAS morning, and others and maybe all you will get some relief from more, and more, and more vioent crimes. Dominicans clean up all you country, take control. GO BACK TO COUNTRY. Get out of the jungle!! Sad, sad, sad, for Dominica.
We need to start some responsible discussion about crime in the land. To always link one particular crime to every crime which happen after is rather ridiculous and ignorant.
Mr. Emmanuel case is not more important than any other crime on the island? Why single his issue among the others. Should he receive special attention apart for other crimes? All crimes should be solved.
Note madam or Sir, I said AND OTHERS!!! But the GON case is a sgnature case of what is wrong with Dominica. TRICKE DOWN CRIMINALITY! This is my story and I am sticking to it!
We need to know the root of the problem before we start to make assumptions. Did she just brutally murder him or did he wind up dead because she was defending herself?
Or, did she kill him while he was defending himself from her?
papa zor what Dominica coming to nah. alas we trying to build up our poor little country ut it doe seems like it making a differnce cause them people still making things worse..
oh lord wat is going on here in the beautiful island that we all call home…not a day is passing by for some incident not to happen..we need the Government,and christian community to come hold some talk with the people of Dominica…heavenly father intervene in the life of our people cuz there is a demon seeking the ruination of souls…In Jesus name i pray,Amen.
it was obviously self defense
or she is crazy….a crazy jealous woman
Tiny, u seem to be very popular. Looks like every body read your comments. You need to take a vacation.
@ tiny
You are up to it again. What about the man? How did he treat her? Are you a chauvinist?
Wow, tiny! Case closed, huh? Lol!
You Dominicans are dangerous. SMH!
of course man…that sums up every scenario right there
DNO HAS THE NEXT OF KEEN BEEN NOTIFIED BEFORE YOU PUBLISH THIS INFO, NOW WE DON’T WANT A STROKE OR HEARTATTACK BY FAMILY MEMBERS FINDING THIS OUT ON HERE!!!! HAVE A BLESSED DAY PRAY DOMINICANS TIMES ARE HARD WE HAVE BECOME INTOLLERABLE,ANGERED BY CICUMSTANCES, HAVE YOU EVER NOTICE THAT WHEN YOU WALK WITH GOD YOU ARE HAPPIER? THE DEVIL TRIES TO TEMPT YOU BUT THE POWER OF GOD IS FAR GREATER TO CAUSE US TO SIN? WE NEED DELIVERENCE WE NEED PRAYERS WE NEED GOD. ONE MAN GONE, ONE WOMAN GOING TO JAIL SO ONE WOMAN GONE TWO FALILIES IS DISPPAIR. PRAY WITHOUT CEASING……
@ TAINTED
Did you not read that his body remained in the identical position for a few hours and a crowd had gathered? If he is from that area they must have known about it prior to DNO being made aware of it and posted it. In any case they may have known about it within a few minutes or hours. I would not worry about that.
In big countries the Police will not broadcast the name until the next-of-kin and/or other family members are notified. The incident will be broadcasted but details of what occurred will be withheld until further investigation and even when the case is called if the perpetrator is caught, so as not to prejudice the case. You know how human beings can speculate and make all sorts of comments just as it is on DNO.
Dominica is a small place and news travel as fast as wild-fire. I have no doubt that the family in DA of all knew about it sooner than you think and before the Media.
DNO knows their job and what they are capable of posting or not. Give DNO credit for that. They do not need anyone to remind them or advise them.
but if the leaders not following the law of the land u expect citizens to follow law as well nuh
i agree to that the leaders doing worse things than that
oh shut it
rubbish again
every man should be responsible for his or her own action
what a u going to tell god when he come?
( but god skerrit was living in sin too?) rubbish
every man has to answer for himself.
ok so u going to become a nuisance cause leaders are corrupt? take control of your life and stop look at leaders be an example yourself and stop look at who is not an example
please do some research before making such comments. The whole world will recognise how we Dominicans think.
I certainly follow the law regardless of what ‘leaders’ allegedly do…A little something called personal responsibility…
But then we all know u guys are using even tragic incidents to play politics. There’s no way u really think a woman stabbed her partner to death thinkin “Well Skerro is a Frenchman and he still dere so let me kill him.”
Logically, this is a good point. Then, he has no right to be the leader. Tell me your leader, then I tell you who you are. Take Lybia for example. They could no longer follow the leader. Crimes have drastically lessened.
Scare crow…….resign.
@ ME
That is a silly comment to make. If you think and assume that the leaders are not following the Law, it gives no member of the public the reason not to follow the Law. They still have to and are obligated to abide by the Law.
Consider if you sin and/or are living in sin and that your children observe your lifestyle. Although this is the example you portray to them which may cause them to adopt your lifestyle, it really gives them no reason to emulate you. Likewise any adult.
So because others choose a certain lifestyle and also as crimes and murders, do this give any one of us a reason for doing so? If they choose Hell will you follow them? Everyone is responsible for him/herself and will have to answer to God for their actions. We will not be able to answer for anyone or make excuses for them and for ourselves for we should have known better. It is in the Bible of all.
Wat is dominica coming to? Can’t we settle disputes without violence? I need to get a liscensed firearm wi pal for my protection. cuz alas!!
no …..that is want we learn from childhood….blows and threat solves everything
i meant what we lean
SOMETHING IS REALLY HAPPENING,
BECAUSE I WOULD TO KNOW THE QUEEN AND OTHER KALINGOES SAYING ABOUT THAT, CRIME NEEDS TO IN DOMINICA, AND PRAY IS NEEDED, SHE COULD NOT GO CHURCH THEN, BOY IS GUNS AND KNIFE THAT TALKING, WHERE WE GET THAT COWBOY ATTITUDE NAH, WE MUST DROP THAT, BANANA DYING, TOURISM WILL END SOON, JUST CHECK THAT YAH!
SOMETIMES I WONDER HOW DO THESE PEOPLE FELT WHEN THEY HEARD OF SUCH NEWS IN THE PAST. ARE THEY SAYING I WILL DO IT TOO? AND SOMETIMES FOR WHAT, MAYBE ONLY FOR NOT HAVING HER WAY OR A WORNG HE DID. NOW U GIVE UP YOUR LIFE TO THE STATE. MY PEOPLE EXERCISE SELF-CONTROL
shut up you fool….i see can see you haven’t been in a situation where you have to defend yourself from punches from a 200 plus 1b man who is supposed to love and protect you instead he choose to use you as his punching bag…every body was not raised in your perfect world
You have a point tiny but the truth is report the matter to the police.. run from the man..stay away from the man..get help etc… when the matter is taken into yor own hand now what.. u have given up everything.. its not worth it.. ( well we are not sure what happened.. im just responding to your comment if this is the case.)
ok i agree we may not know what she was going thru but leaving is always an option y stay and be a punching bag and when u figure u fed up kill the guy come on now be real
speak out smart, so your advice is?
hey i don’t know what went down either …..but this commenter named fed acting like life is so simple….if life was so simple then why is there so much suffering on this earth…..
there are those who choose to obey the law and there are some who don’t…there are some good kids…there are some rotten kids…and their are some kids who just need loving guidance to prevent them form becoming the criminals of tomorrow…..
sometimes you try your best to live at peace with someone but that person don’t want peace….
Shucks man, this drip-drip of bad news portends deeper problems for our society. Does every disagreement have to end with a killing? One wonders, with the new program to arrest recent violence in the nation’s secondary schools, is there a plan to teach conflict resolution as part of the program as well?
omg that’s sad..
My country is under attack. We need some serious warfare. Let us pray and turn away from our sins so that they can be healing in what was known as Sweet Dominica.
Sorry…that should have read…”….so there can be healing in our land.”
“WE NEED SOME SERIOUS WARFARE”??? OH REALLY????? IS THAT WHAT YOU REALLY THINK?
the natural mind cannot understand the things of God
we need more us$27 000 dollar state palaces. this country is too reactive
Would you like some lillac villas instead? On the center table, instead of cookies in a jar; you will have bubblegums in a jar. This country needs to be proactive.
I plead the blood of Jesus over my Island. Lord You need to take Dominica back. It belongs to you Lord!
@ gemm…keep pleading the blood of Jesus…and continue to shout at your kids and threaten them and beat them like animals…and we ask why are our young men violent
At Tiny-
I have one precious little girl, and she already know in which direction she should walk, I will continue to plead the blood of Jesus over her like I continue to plead for my island. God is God and he has done me well and he will continue to.
ok gemm….be the best mom that you can so that if she goes wrong you know you did your best
Oh my!! this is horrible
we need the christian community to come together in prayer and fast for the country of Dominica
YOU KNOW IF IS NOT THE PASTOR THAT TELL HER TO DO IT??
are you a fool stupessssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you mean the pastor wanted that woman to wine with in the p.m?
thats what we were doing today at the Old Mill Cultural Center in Canefield ,praying and fasting especially for our children,and for God to take back our country Dominca , but not many people turned out, but for those of us who were there i must say that it was well worth it ,, GLORY TO GOD
woy woy woy.satan is as a roaring beast finding rescue in the hearts of idle children.idle hands do idle things.
