“Shakes” and Andy Prosper releases statement in local newspaper

Curtis "Shakes" Richards

Curtis “Shakes” Richards of Newtown and Andy Prosper of Morne Prosper have published a paid statement in a local newspaper thanking their supporters while stating forgiveness to their “haters”.

The statement comes one week after the Director of Public Prosecutions withdrew charges of murder and conspiracy to commit murder against the duo for a 2009 triple murder.

The men declared their innocence in the paid advertisement published in the Chronicle.

“I would like to thank the most high God for his mercies because he knows the truth, praise Him all the time. I would like to thank everyone who prayed for us, supported us in every way and believed in us knowing better,” the statement reads.

The charges were in relation to the deaths of Allan Bardouille of Newtown, Mannison Thomas of Fond St. Jean and Kenneth Birmingham of Kings Hill whose bodies were found riddled with bullets in a boat 26 miles off the coast of Salisbury in October last year.

In court on November 5, 2010, Prosecutor Wayne Norde told Magistrate Candia George that the prosecution was no longer willing to give evidence against the two men on the matter. Magistrate George therefore withdrew the charges upon their request. The prosecution gave no reason for their decision.

The men thanked attorney-at-law Zena Dyer and a St. Lucian-based lawyer.

“I would like to thank Mrs. Zena Dyer from the bottom of my heart for all her effort and hard work. She believed in us when we told her that we did not kill anyone. Big up to Mr. Marcus Peter Foster,” the statement reads.

The men had a message for the “haters”.

“To my haters, I will forgive all of you. No hard feelings. God knows. Envy and jealousy can get us nowhere. Know yourselves, persons from Newtown and Giraudel should know better than to think we would do something like that. Shame, shame,” they remarked.

The statement further stated: “It was a sad day for all. Kmala, Mannison and Pappas, they were all friends. Pappas was family. You can now rest in peace brothers, knowing we are now free from these crazy accusations. Once again thanks to all who prayed and supported us and believe in us. May the good Lord bless you all richly. You all know yourselves.”

The men concluded the letter by stating “who Jah bless no man curse”. It was signed by “Ras Shakes and Andy” and dated Nov. 12, 2010.

Richards and Prosper had been remanded for a few weeks last year before they were bailed two days before Christmas with sureties for $500,000 each at the High Court.

    @oh: What a baboonish statement to make! Where in the Holy Quran it says there should be honour killings? Find me the verse then we’ll discuss. Go read! They say that Dominica has over 80% literacy rate; maybe an 80% literacy rate meaning can only read and write the basics but 0.5% comprehension rate. It’s people like you in this country that hinders progress. Damn clown!

    @huh: America can’t do jack sh*t! You see how we put pressure on them in 1979 in Iran? Took their hostages for over 400 days? You see how Hezbollah defeated Israel everytime the zionist pigs enter Lebanon? Anytime America thinks of touching Iran, Iran has Hezbollah, Revolutionary guards and all kinds of jihadi soldiers stationed across the middle east so more embassies will be raided again? Also, there are cells inside America waiting to explode to bring America to its knees. Let them try if they think they bad. America by big foot! Ahmadinejad said they are not even bothered about sanctions. Nothing you western sh*t do can’t stop Iran. We want nuclear for energy purposes, not bombs like you zionist supporters!

    Some time ago, Shakes was involved in a suspicious matter in St. Marteen. It was alleged that a man was found dead in the boot of a vehicle he was driving or he might have rented.Exact details are unknown. Something like that. Ask Son Son of Loubiere. He and Son Son was arrested and proseucted and survived. He has survived yet another serious matter. His guilt/inocence in this matter is known by few individuals – including the most high. What is known for sure. He was processed by the justice system. The same system we all are beneficiaries of. The justice system can only work if we the people particiapte and support the system.

    In this particular matter those with the information who could have assisted in the dispensation of justice chose to keep quiet and refused to provide the justice system with the information. For example. Everybody in Newtown knows who are the two young ‘boys” and “Dirty Crate” who went in search of the survivor. He is known as the interpreter. Kamala’s sibling is a known drug dealer, He has information but refused to co-operate with the police, because it is alleged that he received certain promises which are not forthcoming. So whilst people are very diasppinted with the outcome of the matter, the family of Allan, Kamala and Mannison were let down by those who refused to co-operate with the system.

    So Andy and Shakes are out to continue with their life – that is fine. Like those with the information who refused to co-operate with the police they have their conscience to deal with. Let us not moan and cry at the outcome. There could have beena differnt outcoem if those with the information had provide the system with the information.

    JUSTICE MAY SEEM TO BE SLOW IN COMING (for all of us). BUT WHEN IT DO COME, WE OURSELVES HAVE ALWAYS REACTED ON THE SIDE OF THE CRIMINAL. SEE THE PUBLIC OUTCRY AFTER MANGWA’S SLAYING?. HOW GOOD A MAN HE WAS. But justice will come.

    in the meantime, a lot of inncoent people have become “haters” in this matter. Whilst Shakes and Andy are now free to move on with their life, there are a number of innocent people who have been branded as “haters” as a result of this matter and have to carry that stigma perhaps for life.

    Jah is guide for all of us. God knows better.

    @Jen Dominique:

    Well you know me much more than I know you. My sister emailed me, after seeing my comments and uncertainties about the above news article, and she confirmed that Allan was indeed, the son of my sister’s husband He was also the father of my cousin’s child, her name is Debora–who is the daughter of my aunts daughter. Allan must have been using the last name of his mother, that is the reason I could not make the link to my sister’s husband.

    So I guess the people whom Curtis Richards is talking against is my family. And now I am wondering how would he and his family react, if a man of his family was murdered, leaving behind very small children to grow up without their father, and a mother of that same family, who will need help because she must fend for herself and her small child. Debora’s son is only two years old. Allan’s father has quite a few children to my sister, so he left brothers and sisters in Giraudel as well.

    The worst part is that those who have been charged with the murder are simply thrown of the court to their freedom, with reasons that everyone must accept without a choice. How can this man expect us to simply accept him as a saint, to believe that he had nothing to with the murder of a member of our family? Why was he arrested and sent to jail in the first place? And if he was so innocent, why he not sue the court for wrongful imprisonment, to defend his reputation, instead of writing a hypocritical letter expecting people to accept him as a saint without human flaws?

    Well Curtis Richards, I do not know who you are, but I know the people of my family. Whether you killed Allan with your own hands or not, you still have blood on your hands, because you have evidence or knowledge of how and why that killing happened. But you refuse to reveal information, that justice might prevail.

    It would have been better for you, if you did not write that letter; much more to use negative words like “haters” against my family. I do not know what it is about you that makes you think we are jealous of you, but it is certainly not your character, as it seems to me that you do not have one of those. We are not that kind of people, and especially not haters. But I am sure that you did something to us, the reason you would think we hate you.

    You used your mouth to praise God, but He knows that you have no heart for Him. And last of all, we do not need forgiveness from you, with your corrupt mind and pervert lifestyle. It is you who need forgiveness from Almighty God. And I warn you, that God’s justice will prevail! Be sure that you are ready to face His judgement.

    Yes, Doltan Richards is the person I had in mind; he is dead now. But it is not possible that the Allan guy is my brother-in-law’s son. Only one of my sisters is married in Giraudel and her husbands last name is not Bardouoille, or whatever..

    @Lizavier4Jesus:

    Are you related to any Augustus family in Giraudel?

    Example Oliver Augustus who was killed by some rasters at Giraudel, sometime in the 1970’s,
    his mother was ma cork… the family used to live at Newtown.

    November 13, 2010

    OK it would have been better if no statement was made. The feelings of the deceased mens families should have been taken into consideration.

    None of us was there, so we should not be playing judge and jury.

    Those who mentioned voodoo, I presume you are all going to church tomorrow. If so, you are all a bunch of two faced hyprocrites. Shame on you for serving two masters.

    Dominicans love to judge, they love to see and hear of others misfortune, well lets not forget the old saying ‘me today, you tomorrow’.

    As many have stated, the true judge is GOD. If they are innocent, he will give them strength, if they are guilty he will deal with them in his own time.

  20. if they did not it , they know about it, that simple.
    November 13, 2010

    obviously, is his boat. Earthly people do not let their cherich possessions just go on notice.
    I think they are involved in the murder. But, time will tell.

    @hmmmmm:

    Thank you for considering my querry and taking the time to inform me of the reason my Giraudel in mentioned in this mess. The name Curtis Richards rings a bell in my ears, since I know a man whose mother lived in Newtown, but he spent most of his life in Griaudel. His last name is Richards, and he had a fews children with different women from Giraudel. He died young, but it is possible that Curtis is his son. But I have no idea who was a young Allan with a father from Giraudel. It has been a long time since I am living away from Dominica. Thank you again.

    In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

    Let it be known to you that there is no justice in secularism. Let it be known that by going by Allah’s injunctions is the only way you will receive true justice. You follow laws which are made by man, this is the problem. There is too much corruption in the police force, the judiciary etc.

    Dominicans, your hearts are hard that is why you are going through these things. Don’t even mention about the middle east because it’s the west that colonialized most of the lands in the middle east. It is still happening today. Thanks be to Allah the Iranian people have stood up to the west. They have passed the test! See if murderers could get away in Iran like that? Murders are very low in Iran, in fact crimes are very low in Iran and there are over 70 million people. Think about that! Only Islam will make criminals sh*t in their pants. They will think twice before committing these wicked acts. The jihad will continue against western imperalism!

    The Dominican people need to stop praying to a white god and start praying to Allah, the supreme who is Exalted, he has no form, no vision can grasp him, he does not have a body or limitations, the Lord who always existed before he created. He is known through his attributes of perfection. Learn about Islam and give up hypocrisy and arrogance.

  47. Just giving my 2 cents
    November 12, 2010

    I have no idea what happened that day on the sea… and so, i do not know who killed those 3 men. But it seems to me, by the comments here…. many people must have witnessed the crime…because so many claim that the 2 released men are guilty. As far as i heard, there was a survivor and this is the only person who can say what really happened.

    So until that man decides to spill his version of the truth, for we know that dead men carry no tales…. there is no face to their killers. So my fellow Dominicans, before we sit behind our computers and condemn others for a crime we did not witness, remember that God is the bigger judge.

    If you were not there, you do not know the truth, so to assume that you do, is simply making an “A…” out of yourself.

    So… if they r guilty, GOD and GOD alone will deal with them

BUT trust me he will still give them food because jah loves that man because of his goodness. Praises to you Ras SHAKES AND ANDY. PEACE MY BROTHERS

    Andy and Shakes are men with faith. It takes a man with blessings, a man with a good heart a man who does not dwell on the negatives to think of writing a good letter like that. These two men does not dwell on bad things that people say. Can you all give Andy and Shakes a break in their lives ,please? They have done nothing wrong. All they are doing is good. After all this negative commits, didn’t u all see and read this marvelous LETTER SHAKES AND ANDY put together. DOMINICANS COME ON BE REAL enit

    It takes a very intelligent man to write a good and well written letter like that. Off cause Shakes and Andy are innocent .Dominicans stop being stupid, Stop being negative towards Shakes and Andy. Jealousy can do a lot. Why should Dominicans get angry about this letter? It only take an illiterate person to disagree on this letter………………..WELL DONE SHAKES AND ANDY

    hummmmmmmmmm my DOMINICANS!!! we all know that dominica got no justice for poor people dont matter which part of da u come from the rich support the rich those in authority support those in authority police support police right so drug dealers support drug dealers. Now if they catch u with some marijuana they wanna execute u take off ur neck if they aint send u to prison the amount of money they charge u u have to own a bank to pay it yeah now for the past times the murder rate in dominica is on the high and 99% of the criminals they escape now can someone please tell me how is that possible it seems like ma dyer is the only lawyer in dominica cause everyone who is guilty always run to her but let me tell u all something God will never punish the criminals and smile at the lawyers he will punish them both cause when he cast his judgement the lawyers and the judges will be judged to. when u kill someone without a cause dont u know u will be tourmented day and nite u will be living a life of unrest till one day u will finally confess your sins and even the devil will tourment u too cause he wants the world to know u did the crime cause he came to kill steal and distroy so my people u will not find justice at the court but we might find it on the streets cause am sure that there is someone who knows what really happen most of the time the public are better lawyers and judges than those qualified so my people time will tell the truth will reveal its self and God is a mercifull God but he is alos a God of wrath and he is not dead he is alive and he will bring justice to the family and friends of those young men who were executed. NOW QUESTION TO THE PM SKERRIT. WHY DID U GO ALL THE WAY TO CUBA TO ASK CASTRO TO SET THOSE TWO GUYS FREE FOR PLANTING CANNABIS AND RIGHT IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY U WANNA CRUCIFY YOUR OWN PEOPLE FOR THE SAMETHING U WENT ALL THE WAY TO CUBA TO SET TWO PEOPLE FREE I WANT AN ANSWER PLEASE.

    Why was the matter thrown out? How did that happen? When when how?… My God!!! and then frozen brains who spent all their lives in snow,.. what to come and tell me Dominica have justice and the government is a good one?

    But then again some say Jesus black and is a rasta others say he is a white man!

    You do not have to pull the trigger yourself to be guilty of murder, what goes arround comes arround. Take heed from Mwanga and those before him who were executed by those with whom they did “business”.

    U can fool some people sometimes but u cant fool all the people all the time. OJ Simpson walked a free man for years before Jah stepped in. Now he is in jail. Mwanga did the same but eventually paid the ultimate price. You “may” not have done the killing but deliberately witholding information that could lead to arrest and conviction of killers among us make u guilty as well. The same Jah name you calling will judge you one day. Hail Mary Full of Grace……………..

    November 12, 2010

    Just out of curiosity..If the court set you all free why you all trying so hard to convince the general public. I do not know who did it, but this letter sounds like some body trying a wee bit too hard to clear their names…………..just my take

  70. why
    November 12, 2010

    Dead man tell no tails but you Prosper is the only one that can say what really happen so go and tell the family of the dead men what really happened and stop trying to bring shake down with you.

  77. proof
    November 12, 2010

    the case was thrown out most likely because there was no evidence placing mr richards on the crime scene, all the evidence suggested he was ashore when the crime took place! like i always say it is one thing to say someone did however you have to be able to prove in a court of law that the person actually did so.

  78. just saying...
    November 12, 2010

    that statement just confirm their guilt as far as I’m concern…..

    @ Lizaviver4jesus…….they mention giraudel because one of the guys killed (allan) his father is from giraudel along with his sons mother ……..so thats why they mentioned it…..But i just want to say lets not forget muanga freeman……

    First of ll this article was written by one person, The use of the “i” to start a sentence amd we to end it indicte that there was one person writing this and they just included the other so it look like a colaborated effort. I dont know of these men’s guilt or innocence, what I do know is that the director of public prosecution owes the public an explanation as to why the charges are dropped, or maybe birds of a feather flock together, and getting away with murder in Dominica bears no consequences since high level prosecutors, prominen attorneys and their sons have shown us that you can kill, get away with and and still live a life of prominence in Dominica… and then call on the name of Jah.

    you all really believe issuing a statement will really help clear the conscience? wickedness will not prevail….the three men where wrong to get themselves involved in this type of activity, but still, they were not animals and some people should pay. it is very sad to see this case is just thrown out in the gutter!

    Okay, but I wish that somone would explain to me why Giraudel, my home village, is mentioned here; since the news article say that Curtis Richards is from Newtown and Andy Prosper is from Morne Prosper. I do not understand the link.
