The homicide investigation of 26-year-old Stephen Paul of Stockfarm may soon come to a close and charges laid as Assistant Superintendent of Police, Belgrove Charles, says the investigation is at an advanced stage.

I don’t know if there is any connection but one thing that’s very clear is that Jumbee money of Money god has brought plenty blood shed in Dominica. Like I said I dont know if there is any direct influence or connection but we sure seeing more bloodshed than blessing. Maybe the millions that circulating is not the blessing of God because too much sorrow on the land. And look Money god say he going to build church in Grandbay along with 84 apartments? Church to worship money god? Boy look daba. So money god going to become an apostle man? Zor all you not seeing trouble that coming?
