    There are too many unexplained deaths and murders on your lovely island.

    Could there be something more than natural causes? I think maybe what you have are * … principalities,…powers, …the rulers of the darkness of this world, (and) the rulers of the darkness of this world, (and) spiritual wickedness in high places.* (Ephesians 6:12)

    By nature we are all sinners. We need to be saved. This was made possible when God gave His Son to accept our guilt and bare our punishment in His own body on the cross. This salvation becomes ours when we believe (trust) in Him, and receive Him as our Savior. (St. John 1:12) (1 John 5:11,12) and (Revelation 3:20).

    Salvation includes the forgiveness of our sins, inner healing, and deliverance from the bondage of the devil. Christ literally comes into our hearts and wipes the slate clean. It is a new beginning.

    • March 13, 2017

      This is because God has *… DELIVERED us from the power of darkness, and hath TRANSLATED us into the kingdom of his dear Son. In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins.*
      (Colossians 1:13,14)

      If you want to experience this miracle – the greatest miracle in the world which is called THE NEW BIRTH –
      I invite you to pray this prayer sincerely, and MEAN IT with your whole heart :!:

      *God in heaven I confess I am a sinner and cannot save myself. But I believe you gave your Son to pay the penalty for all my sins on the cross by shedding His blood and dying for me. I believe you raised Him from the dead to show that you accepted that sacrifice. Come into my heart Lord Jesus and save me now. In Jesus\’ name. AMEN.

      If you sincerely prayed this prayer I can give you a WRITTEN GUARANTEE of your salvation. It is Romans chapter 10 and verse thirteen 13. It says *For whosoever shall call upon he name of the Lord shall be saved.*

      Sincerely, Rev…

    ” After undergoing surgery in “St.Lucia”. Why can’t we have these procedures done in Dominica? How long do we have to wait for a proper hospital to be built. But the government building hotels like crazy> I wonder who is going to occupy them. I am thinking the snakes and lizards will be welcomed guests.

      Oh pleaseeeeee @ Ideal……If the surgery was performed in Dominica and the same result…you would be the first lamenting that the Doctors in Dominica are trained to kill, or inexperience, blah blah blah. Now, that the surgery was done elsewhere, here you are complaining about ‘Why can’t these procedures be done in Dominica?” Maybe when people like you provide the proper equipments and technical expertise…then certain procedures will be performed in Dominica. Common sense

    A government cannot legislate morality . Whoever, is leading the nation was convicne the people to each other keeper. DA use to believe in the African proverb. that it takes a village to raise a child. RIP Philogeme

    My sincere sympathy to the family and friends of Bradly Philogene.

    The police report said one man was being sought.

    Common sense would tell us that if this man is guilty he will make himself scarce and may be trying to get farther away. The investigation may take longer than is desired.

    Unless you know all the facts and details of the case it is best not to criticise the police. Their work is sometimes challenging and dangerous. Most officers are dedicated people who do their best.

    Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill

    It is best not to criticise the police unless you have all the facts and details pertaining to the case and know what you are talking about. Police work is challenging and sometimes dangerous. Many (probably most) officers are dedicated people and who their best.

      Ehhh… This will not stop me from critizing those fools who posay in the police station… all day, everyday.

      Change the location, place or person… a waste of tax is just that, a waste.

      These guys investigations are quite questionable. So before you put your hand in fire for these idiots, verify said facts and details.

        Let me break the police job for you. The police at the station works 24/7. This means they do not have any clear cut sleeping hours. They are not like you who may go to bed at 9,10,11 pm especially on nights when there activities or during carnival seasons and so on. Most times the police go to bed after mid night and they can be awaken any time during that night. They must be up by 6am to raise that flag. well if you think they are not human then I guess you dont expect them to sleep during the day when it may be a bit slow in the community. The police work is no easy work for a mere 2100(after appointment) -2800(after added appraisals) . The police should receive 4- 5 days off after every 10 days of work. Most times they are called back during that time. We just eed to appreciate the police. Like every profession there are flaws within the force but honestly appreciate the work of these men/women.

    Bad administration equals bad outcome across the board. Never in my lifetime, have Dominica been so cold and heartless and lawless. Come-on Linton light the fire!!! We are losing on all ends, here.

      Like King of all Kings and Lord of all Lords “Linton” can make miracles. Stop dreaming @washmoney

      The reality is that it cannot be left to Linton alone.

      Dominicans have to be prepared to individually stand up and be counted. It is fear of worse ecomomics that keep the people bound to this current situation.

      On one side people are scared to lose their handouts, on the other they are scared to lose access to their income.

      ‘In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is King’. Skerro knows this well.

    To the family and friends of Mr. Philogene, I am so sorry for your loss, especially in this manner. My God comfort you in this tragic time.

    Very sad death ,strength to his family.

    So so sad!!!!
    Condolences to the family who are a great support to us; both on his mother and father’s side. It proves the point over and over again on that island. My nephew was hit similarly in 2014 in Roseau. The events that unfolded which include large amounts of money spent, coupled with quick actions by family members (note – family members )……the rest is history!!!! Too traumatic to recount.

    May the family experience special strength at this difficult time.

    What do you expect when murderers get to walk free? What a country we live in. RIP young man I hope someone pays for this!

  16. March 13, 2017

    There was eye witness just say who did it.

  17. March 13, 2017

    Yes the police is investigating the matter[ bull crap] they don’t do nothing they sit in the police station play video games, and watch T.V I walked at a police station one day and he was fast asleep with both feet on the desk , what a joke D .A. police laughing stuck of the Caribbean ..

    • darling
      March 13, 2017

      Yes Thts so true. And all over D/A Thts wt dey doin.

    • March 13, 2017

      The police are human and we all have our moments.

      Officers playing video games or watching T.V. or an officer dosing off at his desk had nothing to do with the current murder case. Even in policing there are slow spells when officers may take a break. Please cut them a little slack.

      Come on, if a police officer is at a station with not pressing issues to deal with why cant he take a nap? When there’s work to do, he will definitely deal with it.

        March 13, 2017

        Dear BEB,
        That is why D/ca got stock in reverse GEAR nothing positive is taking place in D/ca if U can tell me a man at work with nothing pressing at the moment should take a nap then what else

      • March 13, 2017

        Beb:

        That is how I thought. If the officer is in the station he is available. You are being realistic.

        Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill.

    Alas Papa Bodiere 2017 is not a good year for Dominica nou. I mean all we seeing and hearing is crime, murder, cool wosh in hean, gun shot wound, bridge collapsing, airport closing, Monfared hiding here for 6 months with help from our government, allegation about our PM under investigation and according to Mr Kenneth Rijock blog, PM may have been charged, and I quote “One possible co-conspirator who may have ready been charge http://rijock.blogspot.com/. It’s a very tuff 2017 for us thus far.
