Young woman of Dominican heritage is Antigua’s latest murder victim

Neltah Telemaque

A young woman with Dominican parentage has been murdered in Antigua and Barbuda.

The body of 25-year-old Neltah Telemaque; whose father Glade Telemaque is Dominican; was found by a livestock farmer who was attending to his animals at a dump site on Sunday.

Police say the young woman, whose body seemed to bear multiple wounds, was reported missing Friday

Her father, Glade Telemaque who is originally from Wesley in Dominica, described his daughter as a quiet individual who was not known to be in conflict with anyone.

“She was a very quiet person. Anybody that knows her, even a neighbour that we not talking to for years, comes to me crying and say ‘Oh God, that could not be Neltah, that is impossible’, because she knows Neltah is a quiet person. She is not in anything with anybody, so she knows that is impossible for somebody to get up and do something like that,” he told reporters in Antigua at the scene yesterday.

Kevin Samuel of All Saints, a village in Antigua, surrendered himself at St. John’s Police Station around 2 pm yesterday after the police issued a wanted bulletin instructing him to turn himself in at any police station without delay.

The police believe that Samuel has useful information which can assist them in their ongoing investigation.

    “A young woman with Dominican parentage has been murdered in Antigua and Barbuda. Neltah Telemaque; whose father Glade Telemaque is Dominica.”

    Wha tis the point of saying Neltah is of “Dominica parentage?

    The fact is she was born in Antigua, therefore if she lived for a hundred years; she could never ever be a Dominica by birth; although she would have any and all rights as that of a Dominica born!

    All of my children are born in Antigua, to an Antiguan born mother, and a father who is king of Wesley, and Dominica in general; nevertheless, my children never had to identify themselves as someone as born in Antigua of Dominica and Antigua parentage.

    Not even when they all became American citizens.

      Telemaque, you are not making any sense!

      You are from Dominica, even if you have decided to abandon your homeland, and so your children are of Dominican heritage, whether you choose to accept it or not!

      Also, stop with your fictitious bragging! What is all that about “a father who is king of Wesley and Dominica in general”?

      What kind of King would abandon his Kingship to go and live as the servant of the King of another Nation? Good Lord!

        Elizabeth, you are dangerous eh!
        Hahahahahahahahah!
        If I the King of Wesley and all of Dominica abandon my thrown in my country it is not due to any fault of mine.
        Blame it on your everlasting love boy that corrupted crook Roosevelt the liar Skerrit.
        You Elizabeth, had Roosevelt not destroyed the country, many of us Dominica Kings, queen, prince and princess would have long returned home to aid and assist in the development of our country.
        You are the only queen I know who is anxious 😟 to returned to that disgusting, no progress Roosevelt Skerrit corrupted island.
        Elizabeth, there are plenty of us professionals, in all fields of science, many with lots money who wish the circumstances in our country were different that would allow them to operate without political influence and harassment.
        When we see Roosevelt is no more, we shall return!
        Again I discouraged you from returning home to stay.
        My sister could have died in the hospital last week if I could not pay for some…

          Con:
          Yes, indeed Elizabeth, my sister was admitted to the hospital infected with COVID-19, she is 87 years old, she depends on me and a daughter to take care of her, just before she check negative for the virus they discovered some other medical issues which required some very expensive medication.
          Her daughter in Antigua have not worked since the advent of COVID-19.
          SO, I had to buy that medication, if I could not afford it my sister would have died!
          There is a myth in Dominica that older people get medicine for free, that is a lie!

          Truth is some people who are diabetic get insulin free, the pills they get don’t work after taking them within a year. They get free pills to treat hypertension; that’s it.
          So, don’t be too anxious to go home: my sister been a Diehard Roosevelt supporter who could have died in the Princess Margaret Hospital, for wanting a medication costing a few dollars short of a thousand dollars.
          Note: only the hospital have the medication!

      So l need to ask the ten little rats running from a cat, what good talking about “she is of Dominica, parentage” bringing to Dominica?

      Perhaps one good came out of the violent way she departed this world; by now news of her murder has circulated the globe.
      Her surname is big; believe it or not I’m getting phone calls and texts messages as recently as last night from people in France.
      I wish she could have given Dominica some international exposure in a different way, but so be it, even in death, her name “Telemaque” has done something for Dominica, a place not of her birth, for she is Antigua born and so it shall remain.
      Let me say again all my children are
      Antigua born all their children are American born.
      They all seem to love, like, Dominica whichever; might be good, but they can never be Dominica born.
      Indeed my children are princess and prince of Dominica for I am a king of Wesley and all of Dominica.
      Hahahahahahahahah.
      Take take that little ten rats.

    where in the report did it state she was killed by young men?

    • December 8, 2021

      @Rational, this is from the news article: “Kevin Samuel of All Saints, a village in Antigua, surrendered himself at St. John’s Police Station around 2 pm yesterday after the police issued a wanted bulletin instructing him to turn himself in at any police station without delay”.

      Who is this passage speaking about? Does it have to be spelled out to you that Kevin may very well be a young man?

    Sucha a beautiful young lady to be gone out of her body in such a brutal way!

    My God! What is becoming of the minds of the young men of today, that they are not able to nurture anything but the evil destruction of their fellow natives–whoever they are?

      Elizabeth, all of that is the work of the devil; I do not know this young lady in person; never met her; I have never met her father, he was born after I left the village, nevertheless I know his mother, Celia the grandmother of the murdered kid.

      You know it is strange, since yesterday I been getting text and calls as far away as England, and Canada in reference to her phenotype, some thought she was a sister, they said she looks like my younger sister by father; Bernie.

      I read some comments from her father; based on his thoughts, and the way he conducted himself, I think he is also a very humble man; I feel sorry, extending condolences is not enough, but that’s all I can do; I understand Neltah was to be Married this very month, as you see her displaying her engagement ring!

      I don’t know if that is true, that’s what I was informed last night; the crown she wore on her birthday.

        @Telemaque, and with all that said, why do you go above, objecting to the fact that the news article said, she is of Dominican heritage? I don’t see your point, nah!
