    The real Murders are the two who were killed. The pain, the anguish on our families and community, the thief, and as a consequence may there be one less Parrow on our streets. My hope is that their killers NOT be prosecuted.

      They received their earthly punishment, exactly what they deserve but a greater one awaits them in eternity, forever. If they knew what is good for them they would live a law-abiding life and a godly one.

      Let it be. Let God be the judge if they are guilty. Let us wait and see. Our concern is that two of our fellow Dominicans were murdered execution-style. Consider their fear and how they suffered and when they knew their demise was eminent. Put yourself in their position.
      Whatever, I am saddened and angry about that. Their families are grieving. The wife and seven year-old son of Riviere are also in mourning. Think of the young ones who will grow up without a father. We must keep this in mind.
      Criminals/murderers can cover-up their tracks very well. It is as if they deal with the devil. I would not make excuses for them and put my hand in fire for them. I do not stand up for criminals/murderers who place havoc in a country and cause pain to their fellow people to the extent of murdering them and those thugs want to live. Know this! God knows if they are the ones who were responsible for murdering our Dominican fellow men. You do not know anything, unless you know them and were always in their company. Therefore, do not speculate and be so certain. What you are not certain about and cannot prove, never be so sure. Allow the Antigua police to conduct a thorough investigation.
      The souls of these departed are crying to Heaven for vengeance. God is not blind, deaf or sleeping. Our Lord Jesus Christ said, “Vengeance is Mine! I will repay! We pray and hope that one day the truth will project itself and be told, that their grieving families will obtain some degree of satisfaction.

      mr. Martin is in custody and is now charged with two offences,(1) escaping lawful custody (2) assault..what then is all the drama about the man being a suspected murder, fleeing police twice, armed and dangerous, and most wanted in double murder? told you guys who ever killed those two Dominicans are not in Antigua. They only came in to do their job and move out. After all those two Dominicans guys were no saints, and they could be involved in more shit that that we know not. Drugs dealings are never a clean play ground, only leads to death or prison. The police are under pressure, and so are trying to solve this crime in a rush, trying to satisfy the public by making quick arrest, then there is no evidence to substantiate anything.

      I would not want to see the movie. It would be too sad. Guns, murders and execution-style, I could do without viewing them. I no longer view such movies, be they on TV. My days for that are gone. There are too many crimes/murders in the world. The news is enough for me. I also do not want to re-live such by viewing the movie. It will be too gruesome and on occasion it could be exaggerated.

        Dead? What do you know? Are you trying to lead the investigation astray? Do you know something that we do not know? Are you one of the murderers? Get with it and come out clean! :twisted:

    January 1, 2013

    He turned himself in after the dirty cops tell him what to say when they’re interviewing him! Only in the caribbean!
    I think the chief should hand this matter to
    investigators out of Antigua.

    Cowards thats the only way they can be discribed. They can run but they cannot hide. Now make sure they never see the light of Day again. Now Dominicans take note things can hppen,and will happen it all part of Murphy`s Law. Accused persons do escape from police custody and it happens in Dominica too.

    Good news! Let’s hope the other one will follow..
    If you commit the alleged crime and found guilty, be a man and face the penalty. You can only run for so long, but can’t hide. Have a nice ride to jail w/out bail.

    The time has come! The spiritual warfare which is between conscience and the human senses–doing the battle on the grounds of the human mind– must take its rapid and full force.

    Man must either surrender to the laws of the Living God, in Jesus Christ, for Life, or he will be destroyed by those same laws, because of the disobedience and retaliation of his mind—God’s enemy, when this mind exist in its carnal condition.

    Yeah! The old saying went like this: “Those who refuse to live by the law will die by the law”.

    One has surrendered; the other will either do the same or else he will continue walking alone, in his own demise, heading to the eternal dust of his physical body–never to be heard or seen forevermore.

    As it is written, so it shall be done, to all of those who will not turn their selves in to the mercy and compassion of the God of Great Love—but remain carnal, existing by the “sole control” of their human senses, from where they are fed from the rules of God’s enemy—the spirit of hate and death, we all know his name.

    Happy New to you all: From me, Elizabeth Lina Xavier, living in Toronto–better known as Lizavier4Jesus, here, on DNO

    Turned himself in after being released to go get rid of any evidence which could convict him I suppose?

    • January 2, 2013

      Tell that to me friend Elizabeth, see if she hears you, I am also very suspicious, I know Coolidge International Airport, now called V. C. Bird International, I once work for Shell Aviation supplying aviation fuel serving jets refueling for international flights.

      I know for a fact that there is no absolute way any one could run across the airport in direction East, West, North or South, and without getting captured within minuets.

      So, I support your theory; for no matter which direction the culprit ran, there is nothing such as trees, mountains hill or buildings that could have shelled or given him cover.

      That was a planned escape!

      And so I must take the some time out to thank DNO for serving us successfully for another year, you are serving a very useful purpose. Many of us in the four corners of the world depends on your Online news for information from home, and I must recognized, and give recognition to your accuracy.

      I know sometimes you do not always print my materials, but that’s okay it is your prerogative, keep up the good works.

      Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahaah!
