Dominica News Online is receiving reports of a chopping incident over the weekend that left one person hospitalised in serious condition.
According to unofficial reports, the victim was chopped in the head with his own cutlass. It is alleged that the dispute arose over 50 cents from gambling.
Police Spokesman Claude Weekes told DNO that he lacked details on the matter and promised an update as soon as it is available. He did confirm however an incident over the weekend involving a cutlass which left a young man nursing injuries at the Princess Margaret Hospital. He was not certain if it was the same incident.
Dominica News Online will provide you with more information when it becomes available.
stuff like that happens all over the world….the gov need to find different ways to occupy ppl time….they are the ones that make the laws,else ppl wouldn’t be gambling they prob be somewhere being active doing something constructed …blame de gov
OMG over 50 CENTS wi not even 50 DOLLARS an with my own cutlass again wi boi look nonsense 50 CENTS is thing i see on de roadside an i get a blas 4 dat no sa my head u cut u can’t be practisin ur surgery on mi just cause i doe give u 50 CENTS i wouldn’t be dat desperate 4 dat little amount of money wat dat can buy na sweety wi 4 de most, y’all can’t be serious
Cannot believe that.
Stop running allu mouth ppl! I’m not sayin he deserved to get cut but he looked for his ting “leprecorn” is s nice fella but wen he drink n smoke his a fool. He attacked those young fellas first so they got the chance to take the cutlass so 1 simply used it. Self defense straight up. Get allu start before allu run all mouth he cut 3 young men before he got cut wit his own cutlass.
OMG ! Thank God it wasn’t over $1 or this person would have been decapitated .
I must admit our law enforcing arm and legal system is failing us… The police appears to have only the capacity to solve little drug crimes and they do that with a passion and haste… The current commissioner at a minimum should go/ resign… In any private company where the business is doing so badly at minimal the person at the helm must go, why can’t we do the same for the police force? We cannot continue to lie idle and see our country go down the drain whilst our politicians play games, talk shit and get wealthy… Are we as a nation seeing where we are heading??? Or in general our mental capacity foresee the future is challenged… It is sad very sad… something needs to happen now…
everybody had somthing to say about the boy theat cut off the other boy hand. the headline was that the incedent happened over a scissors but i want to see all wat all u have to say about that next person.wat allu dont realize that anyone of us can be pushed into a situation and be forced to commit a ack wen our head hot and befor we go about and judge people we should say boy it could have happend to be or that could have been me that do a thing like that
is not the 50 cents…people aint got money this is how desperate it is becoming and it is only gonna get worst..gun ah talk soon time
I send him jail lifetime… things getting worst in this country.
And in the article just above this one says Dominica’s economy is doing better than her neighbours in the Caribbean and Latin America…yet we have young fellas almost killing each other for fifty cents…Go figure.
5o cts.yes?but a gambling den knows no face no place 4 nice guys and honorable men:
Over coins($0.50) or over the Multimillion dollar star “Fity” cents?
lol
people need to get their facts straight
Well what is the facts? do you have it? Give it to us.

3 words: LAST DAYS EVENTS
That’s what happens when the youths of today don’t stay in school and get a proper education. The saying goes, “by ur company u shall be known”. Lepricorn never did bad in the neighbourhood, always helpful and on his spare time u would find him conducting for one of our bus drivers. I guess that’s the payment u receive for being a good samaritan. The young men tht did thid to the guy is not even older than 20 or they might be a lot younger. All they do on a daily basis is smoke marijuana and gamble. Get a job!!!!
I know. It seems like only the negative reaches headlines. And we say we tryin 2 make our country a weddin an vacation destination. Are we 4gettin dat these news are bein read worldwide? On another note…i see dat theres no report on McNeal’s State funeral on saturday where the PM, Ophelia(she sang) and a few others were in attendance. Man dat was a sight 2 C. Uniformed men and women(Ross Security), slow match, foldin of flags and everyting. The smokin biker boys was wat took da humungous crowd. R.I.P McNeal. U guys can see a lil video clip on (youtube- RIP MACNEAL)
okay my update… it happened at yampiece, they were gambling, an argument ensued over 50 cents or a dollar, then 3 guys beat him , burst bottles on him and then one split his head open, literally split open…. like cutting a coconut with a dull cutlass, blood was gushing out of his head, as soon as he received the wound he passed out and layed motionless until the a bus driver and some people tried to bring him to the hospital, they met the ambulance on the way and transferred him onto he ambulance…family members says he’s in critical condition and if he survives he may have permanent brain damage, not a young man i would say early 30s btw…
To: KIF
Well thanks to you. That is what I would call details. However it is stiil very sad. Brain damage is not a good thing at all, to exist with. And at mid 30’s that is still a very young age.

WHO EVER YOU ARE YOU CYAN LAUGH AT TINGS LIKE THAT UR DAM FOOL
Lord have mercy… is that the gold coin of the lepricorn
i am wondering the sme thing
WHERE DID THIS RIDICULOUS ACTIVITY HAPPEN. YOUTH OF DOMINICA PLEASE STOP THE BLEEDING.
At Stockfarm, young and stupid youths of today.
Was that Ron & Jerry?
No it wasn’t..It was Skerrit and Tony.
thought it was Eddie and Hector
Stupid Barbarians..
Why are Dominicans so surprised that someone would get stabbed over $0.50, yet they are the same ones to spew hate and are so too shoo too flam on DNO. By reading the comments on many of DNO’s articles i am not surprised by anything happening in Dominica anymore.
Dominicans tend to not think before they do many things…I wouldn’t even be surprised if there was an incident because of political affiliations.
2 sisters and a brother killed thier brother for nothing u guys wondering about 50cents and here we
go its the pm fault one wrote already dominicans like to blame every one but the one they should blame boy i sorry for the next generation cause we blame every one exept our kids rite now when they do little things but it will turn to big things later on by then the pm wont be there to take those blames
SHAME on those idiots that click DOWN on this comment…. VERY IGNORANT AND HYPOCRITICAL SET OF PEOPLE… they like a set of imbeciles… why on earth would you want to blame the PM… i guess they want to blame the man for everything that happening dominica… Let them not watch themselves and practice and teach their kids the old cultures taught by their parents.. I know people want good for their kids but giving them leverage and complete freedom to do what they want when they want just leads to things like these in the future because its these same kids we see on the street later on acting all GANGSTA after they look at a stupid movie on tv. and their pants all the way down their ankles… i always use to wonder if is too much sesame street they looked at they practicing the KERMIT THE FROG walk!… stuepsssssss tan eveh se’ vieux moune sot sa la!!!!
Well in November, at a gathering of Returning Dominicans, with the members of cabinet present, the PM stated that the crimes that are occurring in Dominica are not violent, so all these varieties of crime against mother, father, brother, sister, child, neighbor, friend, enemy should not alarm us. This statement was broadcast over the airwaves for the whole world, including the criminals to hear.
Until we acknowledge that there is a problem, we will never even begin to solve that problem. We seem to be making excuses when the crimes are committed, and comparing ourselves to other nations. Let us take a hard look at what is happening and see what we need to do in our own country to stop this rash of all kinds of crime that’s going on. We DO need to involve the schools, churchs, village councils, neighborhood groups etc, but the government need to come together and see what they can do, at a higher level to curb this criminal activity. We have too much crime for such a population.
that cant be real howcan u be fighting for 50 cents ….dominicans be real
Lawd. $0.50? Most be two pure gold quarters. Nuh.fellas to ignorant and getting in stupid for nothing.

Dominica news on line, you people need to get more serious , there was so much happening this weekend and that the only news you find to report.

more so there was the Waterfront And Allied Workers Union christmas parade in the streets of roseau, what an excited time, good Parade,
why cant we get some position information of this weekend happening, instead of all this sad stories.
You know u can can send news to DNO…. they cant be everywhere all at once.. be reasonable…
who cares about what old people do in St.Joseph? You have to report on things that will interest and captivate your audience-DNO you doing a great job of bringing the news pple want to hear and are interested in commenting on.
I know. It seems like only the negative reaches headlines. And we say we tryin 2 make our country a weddin an vacation destination. Are we 4gettin dat these news are bein read worldwide? On another note…i see dat theres no report on McNeal’s State funeral on saturday where the PM, Ophelia(she sang) and a few others were in attendance. Man dat was a sight 2 C. Uniformed men and women(Ross Security), slow match, foldin of flags and everyting. The smokin biker boys was wat took da humungous crowd. R.I.P McNeal. U guys can see a lil video clip on (youtube- RIP MACNEAL)
To saura
You make a lot of sense. At least, they could have waited until the details are complete to report a story like that. Mr. Week is not even sure that the man at the hospital is the victim in question. One commentator seem to believe that the victim has lost his head, like the one who lost his hand.
No greater words has ever been spoken……
Wtf man that cannot be possible where did that happen??? U can’t be serious
