A 22-year-old of Castle Bruce is now dead and his brother, a patient a the Princess Margaret Hospital following a stabbing incident in Castle Bruce.
DNO was told that the incident took place at around 9:30 on Thursday evening in the Wind Blow area of the community.
The two were stabbed by another male adult of the same community.
They were transported to the PMH where the 22-year-old was pronounced dead. He reportedly received stab wounds to the chest.
His brother was admitted to the hospital. The extent of his injuries is unknown at this time.
The police will be releasing a full report on the matter later today.
To both families I’d like to share my condolences,may you experience healing and closure in the days to come.it’s sad that both families have to lose a member in such senseless act. Which could have easily been avoided. I see many people pointing fingers,that will not get use no where, we all need to look inwardly and find a fault in our actions and thoughts that could possibly encourage another to do good or evil.old saying:it take a village to raise a child. Some might say that it’s no longer that way but it still is , so let’s help our brothers let be a part of each other’s life, everyone has his part to play in this, mother father brother sister…. Don’t stand idle , but be steadfast in the proper upbringing of your neighbor, religious persons, don’t be praying only. But go and socialize, persons of great respect, leaders in society,Take part in the young people’s lives. Build a proper community, governments need to do something with all the resources that God has…
Dominica is slow on updating serious events. So sorry for all lives touched by this. Is truly heart breaking.
Can Dominicans tell us who they blame especially those living in the US and elsewhere, for the two horrible deadly fires in the US in less than a week?
Who do they blame for the two school bus crashes and especially the one with so many dead students? Who is to blamed for the multitude of vehicle crashes and the number of daily murders in the various States?
Who do they blame for plane crashes and trains disasters? Whom do they blame for the bad weather and all those floods?
Just wondering. because we all should stop and take stock of what is happening around the world; and when we think hard and long answer those simple questions and then why do we blame our PM and Government for every bad thing that happen.
I am not telling anyone not to disagree or question our government but there is a time. The family needs our sympathy, blaming the government is making light of a real family tragedy.
RIP; Sympathy to the family and to the brother a full recovery.
Many people on the nature island do not think Dominica needs a self defence school.
What Dominicans (and Canadians) need is a personal encounter with the risen Christ. When they realize they are lost sinners and understand that on the cross Christ died for their sins they will be well on their way. They must believe it was for them the Savior died. God raised Him from the dead on the third day to show He had accepted that sacrifice as payment in full for their Salvation. When they receive Him as their personal Savior they will be “born again” into a new life!
Please read:
Isaiah 53:5,6
Romans 5: 6-8
St. John 3:3
St. John 3:16
Ephesians 2:8,9
1 John 5:11-13
By receiving Christ, trusting what HE did for you on the cross to blot out your sins and take your guilt away, you will HAVE eternal life. Yes, HAVE it NOW as a PRESENT possession :!
Self defence? Read Ephesians 6:10-17
Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill
What they need is rules, respect and manners at the home, if a person don’t respect the house; he or she is no longer a child, they should move out. Fling plates at children it could hit they at the wrong place and seriously hurt them. Telling a five year old, you born with two balls so you are a man.Learn the basics from home. Go to church or pastors services and listen to the words of the Christ. So if you cannot put they right at home, when they get to the public The Law takes over and what a waste at young ages. The parents are to blamed
minister of national security
do we have one?
yes, Dominica is taking baby step in becoming too commercialized. Studying big country killing styles and also our own neighboring Caribbean islands of which, most of them doesn’t even know if Dominica existing. We need to take care of our own and respect each other. God help us.
Why is everyone using my cousin’s death as a political platform. This has nothing to do with politics. We are grieving pleas stop
i need a man 7583848886
A bad temper and unable to control it is the cause of this. Over what did he commit this murder and attempted murder? Now he is incarcerated. In a few seconds he could lose all he has. His defense attorney will ask for his pardon while his victim died and brother is injured.
When people get angry and impatient for whatever reason, they must say, “God, grant me patience and help me.” It works!
He murdered a young man and his brother is in the hospital, suffering from injuries. Is it worth whatever aggravation he felt?
My sincere sympathy to the family of the departed. May his soul rest in peace. Amen!
To his injured brother, may he be healed in time.
To Dominica’s Justice System, let justice be meted out. This man must pay for the crimes he committed, one of which is murder and injury to another. It must be considered the grief he is causing their relatives. Money cannot console the grieving family, heal their pain and erase what is done to all of them.
I think the government of Dominica should take some time when these horrible things happening in Dominica to go on dno and see the people cry or if they don’t have time ,create a portfolio for someone to monitor the people he represents how they are crying. He always creating one anyway, what is one more?
Hello and good evening my people. First I must offer my condolence to this young man family and may he Rest In Peace. We can’t blame the Government for peoples bad behavior or the police for not being there to prevent this murder rather we must hold the criminal responsible for this crime. There are a small number of criminals in Dominica who seems to be terrorizing our citizens and defense attorneys who keep getting those people release. The police and prosecutors must do a better job in investigating and submitting their cases to the courts. My suggestion is that we need a law to state that anyone who’s arrested for a non fatal shooting, Rape or Murder must stand trial infront of a Judge instead of a jury. In that way the defense attorney will not be able to fool the Judge. Rest In Peace young man.
Part of the last sentence should read , Will not be able to fool the Jury.
R.I.P my brother my friend my classmate till we MEET at thé pearly gates hé was not pronounced DEAD hé was DEAD for 4 freaking hours already after thé ambulance refuser to make a u turn while heading to town. Thats y princess mageret hospital should have a helicopter ambulance for tomes like thèse………………

Yet another life taken prematurely. I know the murder will be on bail like the murderer who murdered my loving brother two years ago this month. The law in Dominica sucks and this is why human life is not respected and more and more murders happening

Saw a news item recently where Italy is advertising for exorcists.Dominica needs to twin with Italy on this move so it can benefit and have something done to bring back the days of love thy neighbour and peace
@jonathan st jean December 2, 2016
An exorcism is not a work of man, himself, only God can do this work by the Power of His Holy Spirit–it is not like hiring someone who is qualified to do a particular job–but Holy Spirit does that work through a certain person whom He has chosen.
So if Italy is advertising for exorcists, they don’t know what they are doing, because in today’s days the devil has possessed everyone who will follow him; and there is much too many of us who has accepted that fellowship. The Devil cannot remove his own self from those whom he has possessed.
Here is what the Bible says about people claiming to have power in the name of God, when of course they do not know what they are doing and saying, the story is at Acts 19: 13-16
“Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists took it upon themselves to call the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “We exorcise you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches.” — And the evil spirit answered and said, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?” Then the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, overpowered[b] them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded”
But I agree with you! Dominica needs a spiritual cleansing of the people’s mind; there is much too many unhuman, wickedness, and maybe downright evil, being practiced among us. We need much prayer and fasting, as we call to God for His mercy and compassion to deliver us from that SATANIC spell which has overwhelmed our minds.
A man does not make himself an exorcist. First he must be saved and filled with the Holy Spirit. Then God calls him to the ministry if indeed that is God’s will for his life.
Exorcism is only one part of the larger New Testament ministry which is to preach the gospel as it is defined in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 and Romans 1:16 to bring men and women to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ so they will KNOW they are saved and going to heaven. Their responsibilities include ministering the Word of God to Christians to promote growth and fruitfulness.
True excorcists are not free lancers. They are accountable to the leadership of the church that has approved their ministries and sent them forth. Their services are usually conducted in churches.
Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hil.
So what’s the plan?
Does anybody have one?
How are we going to stop all these senseless killings?
It’s already almost too late.
Are you going to wait…
Until it happens to someone close to you?
What can the police do?
They can’t be everywhere at the same time.
And our church leaders cannot just be there trying to “pray away” our crimes
We have to reach out to our youths
Our young boys and our young men
What are we going to do? What CAN we do for them?
I’m appealing to all the fathers to do all that you can for your sons.
Grow them right. Teach them the right.
Let’s do all that we can to save this generation.
Alot of people like to say not to blame skerrit, but since Trump get elected only positive things happening to America, look Carrier keeping jobs in America, look they just discover more oil in America, US oil reserves now top Saudi Arabia’s. And u people saying the leaders should not be blamed, people if u have righteous leaders your nation will be blessed and if u have corrupt evil leaders your nation will be cursed.
You are such an Idiot…..open your eyes and think deeply before you type
If all D/cans are righteous nationals, their nation will be blest. If they are corrupt, evil nationals, their nation will be cursed and so will those who spew mapwee and evil in the land, at others. If only they cease looking at others faults and judging and condemning them (nationals as you are no exception, part and parcel of the Dominican environment.
An Act of Love: O My God I love Thee with my whole heart, above all things because you are infinitely good and for your sake, I love my neighbor as myself for the love of Thee.
If every one would pray this prayer and practice it, their country will be a better place, free of crimes/murders. All nationals will be better people.
It is not only talk but prayer and godly practice. This is how the mortal and spiritual battles are won, with the help of God that this evil will be eradicated from society. It takes many prayers, kind people, patience and perseverance,. How else can this change be effected?
@Pres_Donald_Trump December 2, 2016
What is righteous about “Donald Trump” and including you, for that matter?
I rebuke this in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Dominica is not cursed. Dominica is a blessed island.n A blessed country in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
wild wild west it is now.. people must learn to walk away from trouble and settle disputes in a less agressive manner.. everybody want to kill so that they can say later ‘you dont kno me man i kill already’
this comment tho not the time but this one so true i had to laugh honestly
The Govt need to arm the citizens so they can defend themselves from these lawless individuals in society. How long will people realize that only by legalizing gun ownership we can reduce crime in Dominica? We need a Donald Trump in Dominica.
What??? We need to arm every fool? Really? Go to America if that’s how you want to live. Need no Trump here. America has unveiled their hateful racism. It is real and scary and very sad.
This is pure nonsense. Look at the countries where guns are legalized. You do not want to solve a problem by creating a bigger problem.
PIP please invest money in the youth. Create new and improve the existing playing fields. Let the youth get involved in track and field, basketball, netball, track and field, swimming, tennis, music. If they are productive and involved in disciplines that demand discipline we will have a healthier young population.
You are in bed with china why not have them set up industries here to create employment?
DOMINICA IS IN S.O.S MODE!!!!
Please Lord, protect my children and all the others in Dominica
RIP brother miss you already we will meet again
Both young men were working so shut the hell up if you don’t know what you talking about…………. R.I.P GIGI (return if possible)
What they calling “Return If Possible”?
I\’m not surprised at all because that\’s the culture Skerrit has created… a culture of strife, bitter, greed, and according to James 3;16, where such things dwell expect all evil work
Do you need to be informed every country has its share of crimes? Those countries were practically as safe as D/ca was in those days. What happened, some people have not been practicing the faith and associate with bad company.
The home environment may not have been what it should be. As they grow up they develop their individual mannerisms.
When arguments and problems surface, they must learn to be as amicable as they possibly could. If arguments ensue, learn to walk away from it. Do not call anyone bad names which will antagonize them.
It takes diplomacy to get alone with others, especially when people are cantankerous. It is not easy. However, they should really avoid a quarrel. It takes discipline to do this. Some people love to perpetuate an argument and a fight. They must also learn to say they are sorry, hopefully the other person will accept it without getting ignorant and retaliating. This and more should also be taught to the youths.
The rate of violent crime in small community like Dominica is outrageous. Especially given what the rate of these crimes used to be just a few decades ago. Certainly something dramatically has changed in our social values and our level of callousness. And yes, social psychology shows that the values modeled by a country leadership has a profound effect on the youth of that country. Research it. It is a sad, sad state of affairs in my island.
Let me see this murderer get away with this one again….
why are you going to wait.. dont waste your time waiting.. he has already gotten away with it.. thats why he did it because he know very well that you can get away with it.. more to come
Frustration due to poverty is taking a huge tole on Dominicans due to poverty…the present gov’t is securing their position only with one thing in mind;their pockets.More police are recruited but the level of crime is much higher than ever before.corruption is at its highest level,Dominica does not have any growth at all but the loans that are borrowed from foreign countries are not used to open factories when we have a lot of natural products wasting.The first PM to travel all over the world is Skerrit ,Dominica has serious problems to solve such as making sure that people keep their shoes on after they are dressed to cross are river,Roseau needs cleans daily due to the large number of vagrants that are using the streets as toilet,Tourists need shops with something special to buy when they come,there is nothing special except sun,rain,sea and forest..occupied the young people ,open school for adults ,it is never too late to learn.
Personal frustration caused this. They are devoid of God’s blessing, graces and peace. One cannot be happy and peaceful without God.. Unless some people are aware of that, this is what their life will come to, devoid of God. They will go from bad to worst.
If I were a troublemaker, I would get myself in all sorts of trouble. If so, should I blame the government? People must blame themselves for what they have become.
I always say, we must look at their background, how well nurtured or not they were. If they were nurtured appropriately, what occurred to them along the way? Did they at least attend elementary school and complete it? What type of children/students and later adults they are?
The problem with some is (can;t blame every D/can who are not one and the same), some put the blame on everyone else but themselves. I visualize this is what is wrong with some, why today they are what they are.
Those who see the ill in society, try to do something about it.
Dr. Francis Severin spoke about the level of crime in Dominica years ago and was severely criticized by many people, including members of Parliament who tore him to pieces in the house of assembly where he could not defend his statement. He was not even invited by the powers that be to give direction/insight into this phenomenon.
Over the past several years crime has escalated and we seem to be at a total loss as to how to deal with the matter. People who can give advice are not being consulted and the inept government keeps putting square pegs in round holes.
The educated ones among us remain silent, only a few, very few, are brave enough to voice their opinion and are often ostracized.
Who the cap fits let them wear it. The ‘chickens’ have indeed come home to roost.
He is correct. I recall Francis as an extremely nice person (still is of course
) who was well brought up by his discipline parents. I am well-acquainted with his family. I have nothing but praise for him. The youths especially should emulate him. I expect he would speak against crimes in D/ca as many of us do.
Good people are not appreciated. This is why some keep silent. They fear being ridiculed, chastised and ignored. It happens on this Website.
God gave every one of us a gift/talent. Those who do not stand up, I can only hope they are doing something else as fervently praying for Dominica, for the youths and eradication of crimes/murders. We will all be answerable to God for what we have done and failed to do, one way or the other..
What have become to us Dominicans? When i was growing up in DA before i left to join my parents abroad I never heard such things as people killiing each other that is what other nations were doing but now it seems that theses young generations are following other countries life style and this is not goo if it’s too much televison or trying to be like the other countries this will not be good to DA people who want to come down to retire in DA they will be fearful to do so some of the changes amoung our young generations are not good examples they should try to do better not going around killing . This have me thinking about coming back home to my home. I love my island but what I am reading from DNO is not good. There should be other ways to resolve arguments. Please prople let our island be safe and a pleasure island for evetyone without all that bad news. Peace and god bless DA.
stop come and sell votes in Dominica. when allu come here vote for substance and money and promises………………. this pm is interested in building things…to fool you people out there. but he has no interest in people….pwc is a perfect example….so many of our local you idle men could be doing something productive, drains to build roads to fix….but this is the sector that govt is failing in the most…by siphoning work to those who will give them benefits
Rip my dear friend until we meet again.
People are going crazy in the land because nobody work ,,skiroo are not get work for the youth, where are the passport money. The only thing that bring money to the island is by selling passport which skiroo only control. Skiroo please when you go out there for people to come buy passport ..we need a few factories, The youth are stress
These are people who are working the land so what is your point about getting a job? You folks just run your mouth uselessly.l
And he will pay for you to get some schooling….
Always must blame someone Mahaut man. So many things they an engage instead of always I. some conflict. When we grew up we did not think that persons owed us as you all think. Most of you are lazy not doing nothing at your home’s or where You sleep. Not even the covers you shake, always expect your mum to cook,get every thing free. Many of you spend your time whole day smoking yourselves away that thing only making you think, think and lazy and lazier. There is a lot of things one can do to earn but all some of you do is congregate on some block and talk talk rubbish blaming someone for your self inflicted demise. Wake up young men and in some instances women take a hold of yourself… look for your potential and do something .that blame thing is from the devil himself who does not want you to see your great potential. Throw away the thing you smoking making you think alone time to jump up from the trance you are In. Thinking with no tangible action is going to get u…
More of dem ded is less work he must provide for them – Already none is being provided.
what does this have to do with the young man who lost his life
absolutely hate when people make excuses for other people when they commit these heinous crimes. this has absolutely nothing to do with no jobs or “skeroo” and everything to do with bad judgement and lack of respect for human life.
stupesssssss….u xpect people who act like animals to b employed?
Mahaut man if i was hearing you , u would sure sound like an illiterate. have some sympathy someone’s life has ended at such a tender age. His families and friends are mourning . Instead you extend your condolences , you on politics. Shame on you !! smh
You should have stayed in school
First the youth have to go to school and learn to spell to work in the factories. The schools are free
So DNO,I believe you should use your discretion and not hide this comment under high/low rating . Everyone has the right to speak . Let democracy reign!
@Mahaut man December 2, 2016
The fact that you have 43 thumbs up at this time, for that stupid comment of yours; it shows that the problem is rooted from the attitude of people like you–simply nurturing futility, which will definitely produce failure before you all make one positive move Come on now, you people!
Way papa….and the killings cintinue
Wow cb on the new can’t them young men behave
Pray for our youths
Pray, really? That has been tried and tested…dead feat! Action is what’s needed, not wishes and kneeling down. I’ll soon come and start my Self Defense school that will help some of the youths. Soon come!
@music producer, we wanna get rid of the wars. But I agree stop praying. Prayer with not action is not faith
