The Commonwealth of Dominica Police Force (CDPF) is currently in high pursuit of three murder suspects wanted for fatal shootings in Dominica. For the year 2023, Dominica has recorded 14 homicides, seven of which have been solved, showcasing the dedication and efficiency of the police force says Chief of Police Daniel Carbon. However, the pursuit of justice continues for three suspects who remain at large.
Jeowin Thomas, a 29-year-old male from the community of Grand Bay is wanted for the alleged murder of another Grandbarian, Thomas Dangleben, age 55. Dangleben sustained a gunshot wound on January 28, 2023, at Lalay, Grand Bay, and died on February 4, 2023.
The second wanted murder suspect is another Grand Bay man namely, Raymond Serguis, who is accused of fatally shooting 29-year-old Mervin Bernard, of Campbell, on May 29, 2023, Grand Bay.

At a recent press conference, the Chief of Police stated, that in the face of a surge in crime, particularly firearm-related offenses, the Commonwealth of Dominica finds itself grappling with a wave of violence that demands urgent attention.
He disclosed, that of the 14 murders, eight were committed with the use of illegal firearms, with only two of these matters solved.
In addition to the alarming homicide statistics, the country is also faced with a surge in firearm-related robberies, with 16 reported cases for the year thus far. From this figure, eight cases have been successfully resolved by the diligent efforts of law enforcement.
Notable cases include robberies at the National Petroleum filling station in Canefield, Mams Supermarket in Massacre, Lindo Mart filling station in Goodwill, West Indies Oil filling station in Canefield, a robbery of Issa Trading Mobile Sales truck in Geneva, Grand Bay, a Chinese national in Goodwill, and a resident of Castle Bruce at Tarish Pit in Castle Bruce.
“In relation to an alleged robbery on Hillsborough Street, Joshua Laville of Fond Cole is being sought as a suspect in this matter,” Carbon revealed.
Carbon further disclosed that as of September 2023, the police have confiscated 30 illegal firearms and 843 rounds of ammunition. From this seizure, 37 individuals have been arrested and charged with possession of illegal firearms and ammunition. The Chief noted that law enforcement is intensifying efforts to bring the perpetrators to justice and the police are urging citizens to be vigilant and report any information that may lead to the apprehension of the three murder suspects and other criminals at large.
25 to life. Then we will be on a course to achieving some form of safety in Dominica. Nothing less than 25 years in jail would be like feeding fertilizer to plants which has no benefit to humans nor animals. Lock them up for life. If my tax increase it will be for my own good.
So where are all these guns originated from? Are they being manufactured in Dominica? When Dick, Tom and Harry are allowed to travel to Dominica via “BACK DOOR” what do you, police commissioner expect they will be bringing? Candy 🍭?
I hope your mom takes your phone from your hand and hide it, just to save her face. People like you with an orgasmic tendency to spew out foolishness should not be allowed access to smart technology…just to save you and your mom from the embarrassment from your actions.
Hello Putin, Honestly, I didn’t give you any thumbs down because I see that my beloved patriots have done so in my support. Also, the reason why I personally didn’t give you a thumbs down is because I realized that you are neither Dick, Tom nor Harry. You are Jack – the Jack hAS..
