Desmond Rock of Grand bay has been charged with attempted murder and shooting with intent in connection with the shooting of Peter Hodge of Gutter village and Imcarchie Peters of Kings Lane.
Hodge and Peters were shot on Friday March 8, 2019 while they were in a bar owned by the Peters family, by someone whom police said arrived on the scene with a scooter.
According to police, Hodge was shot in the face. He has since been airlifted for medical attention abroad. Peters who was shot in the leg, was discharged from Princess Margaret Hospital the same evening.
The 26 year-old Rock was picked up by the police this week.
Prosecutors objected to an application for bail claiming that Hodge who was shot in the face, remains in critical condition.
Rock has been remanded in custody.
Please Father Yahweh guide us
Have mercy on us o Yahweh
For the life of me I will never understand. How on earth a man is granted bail for an alleged murder, only (less than three years) arrested and charged for an attempted murder? The ‘powers-that-be’ REFUSE to implement the Bail Act which, by the way, has been in the making now for TEN YEARS.
Give them the one u have
rock better stay remanded for plenty years if he know what good for him.
Lol ….belle joke
If he was out on bail for a murder he did not think twice he almost did it again this time he should deny bail. This guy is a danger to society for people”s safety let him stay locked up.
Shouldn’t he be charged with attempt to cause “grievous bodily harm”🤔
I suspect you don’t even know the meaning of what you saying. didn’t you hear from the police report as to what transpired. how can it be nothing less than the correct ” attempted murder charge” ? he better not get bail that is all I will say on this matter. stay stalk farm for your own good boy and that is a simple clear warning!
Yes because u the judge
That …. need to stop because the innocent that paying for it

I think I rather when Dominica was conservative. I remember years ago, my friend commented and said: “Dominica is the virgin of the Caribbean”. I wish this were still true. We are bewitched by Americanization, Technological Advances, the fast life of our neighbours. I understand fully we cannot remain insular to these outside influences and we must keep up in order to meet the change in times and the effects of them. It’s just that, the more we change, the more our lifestyles and patterns become like everyone else’s both the good and the bad.
How many shootings has this man been involved in???! I am just asking!!!
Hope the fool gets life,these fools watch too many gangster movies,will tell you all the so call wanna be,gangster life do not last,either you will be dead soon or life in jail,go find jobs and do something better with your lives.
Is Desmond Rock from Grandbay (lalay) or Montine. Grandbay covers quite a number of villages.
Dominica must be a joke.That man is on bail for murder.
Can’t you read? Bail was objected meaning he was not given bail. Take your time to read it says the he has been remanded at the prison.
I think you need to do your research before commenting..Desmond is on bail for a murder he committed some years back in Grand Bay, the guy was from town and he is from Montine not Grand Bay (answering Pipo)..i hope they throw away the keys this time…this little boy is just giving the community a bad name…when i grew up is cutlass we were using not guns and too work on the farm ..not to kill people
No, nobody has died yet as a result of his alleged crime.
Is murder charge for Rock now. Peter Hodge died in hospital.
See what the “white powder” doing to our young people.
The Venezuelan connection my friend, that also bring in those illegal firearms trust me.
The war has just begun. How many more will fall victims to the machines? Later will be greater
The accused shot two guys ,one is in critical condition overseas, at this time no one can predict what is going to be the out come of that victim, while the other was discharged from hospital. For Heavens sake, why cant those ravenous lawyers give the police officers ample time to conduct their investigations? They are always ready to apply for bail for their clients. If you cant do the time , dont commit the crime .Lawyers are causing more crimes to be committed in our country, I would want to think that if all Dominicans would become Christians, what would become of our lawyers, would they become farmers?
If you ever get wrongly accused (hopefully they have the right guy) you’d be wishing your lawyer was even more aggressive.
“I would want to think that if all Dominicans would become Christians, what would become of our lawyers, would they become farmers?” BEB, they are more bad people in the church than out. The police would still be overwhelmed with cases. Too many people just wear their clothes to church. They use Christianity as a cloak to cover their sins.
Nonsense
Go do all u job right ……never have evidence then people just walk away freeeeeeeeee
Why Dno had a picture of the young lady who got shot in the bar, but not the picture of a killer? Im confused And miss me with that “He hasn’t been charged crap”
ADMIN: We were unable to attain a photo of the individual. There was one point when police would provide mugshots of those charged with crimes, this is no longer the case.
Good question!
They obtained pictures of the Spanish some time ago, but can never get of those Dominicans who commit the crimes
