Suspected double murder-suicide involving Dominican family in Guadeloupe

Dominica News Online has been informed of a double murder and homicide in Guadeloupe involving a Dominican family.

According to unconfirmed reports reaching this publication, a man, originally from Lower Penville in Dominica, was discovered dead in his Guadeloupe home with his son and daughter, on November 8. The man is said to be in his late 30s to early 40s.

French police believe that due to the decomposed state of the bodies, the deaths could have occurred about three days before the discovery on November 5.

Poisoning is being suspected, as there were no physical bodily injuries on any of the victims.

The motive for the murder/suicide is unclear. Carbon Monoxide poisoning is suspected.

Dominica News Online is working to meet with the dead man’s family in Lower Penville.

    My deepest condolences to their loved ones. God’s Word comforts all the grieving survivors with this wonderful promise found at Acts 24:15: “…There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” Jehovah’s Witnesses offer FREE HOME BIBLE STUDIES to help their fellowmen cope with the distressing events of these ‘last days’. 2Tim. 3:1-5; John 17:3. A world without suffering and death will be here soon.

    Why are they saying murder/suicide, carbon monoxide is a oderless gas, lots of people accidently die because of this, that is why in the US it is recommended that people have carbon monoxide monitors in their homes. This could be a tragic accident.

    It is so sad to hear the kind of things that are happening in our twin island. I think the devil is on a rampage for souls and if we doe accept jesus in our lives today, who knows what could happen to us tomorrow. Life is short people. Try to make the best out of it. Surrender your lives to God. I did it so can u else we gonna live to regret it. The devil come to steal, kill and destroy. We are like a ship sailing in the choppy sea and if we don’t have no anchor to keep us steady we will continue going adrift and end up like that man or even worse. Please people make God your personal savior today. seek him and u will find him. He is waiting patiently for u.
    I M SO SORRY FOR THE FAMILY.
    MY DEEPEST SYMPATHIES TO U.

    @mouth of the south: I agree Mouth of the South. It’s one bad news after another. We need some good news. The rescue of the Chilean miners was good news in a long time

      you cannot see it, you cannot smell it. it is a secret killer, that is why carbon dioxide monitor is advisable. if carbon dioxide is present, the monitor will detect and raise the alarm.

    The poison could have been given by someone else or the Father brought home something that they all ate and was poisoned. Let us wait for the facts.

    Sad indeed and condolescence to the surviving families.

    @Anti-hate…i would hve figured you read that the man is dead so there is no justice for him, this will be done on judgment day.

    RIP to the kids.

    In Dominica he wouldn’t have had to kill himself though. All he would have to do is claim insanity and bleeding heart Dominicans and the pathetic justice system would let him get off. Especially if he hired a particular Ma D……

    He could even claim PPD and no it doesn’t matter that he’s a man this is Dominica we are talking about…SMFH….
