Assistant Superintendent of Police, Belgrove Charles, who heads the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), is soliciting the assistance of the public in solving two homicides on January 2, 2022.<\/p>\n

Charles reported that Officers of the CID have begun \u00a0investigations to determine the circumstances surrounding the death of 28-year-old Miron Benjamin of Cochrane, whose lifeless body was found lying along the sidewalk of the E.O. Le Blanc Highway on Goodwill Road.<\/p>\n

At the time of his discovery about 5:45 a.m. on Sunday, the deceased had multiple stab wounds to his body, Charles confirmed.<\/p>\n

Meantime, as it relates to the second suspected murder of 2022, the CID head said a shooting incident at Trafalgar which occurred at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, resulted in the death of 26-year-old Stephen Paul of Stockfarm.<\/p>\n

Charles further reported that another individual, Sherwin Yankee of Trafalgar, is nursing injuries at the Dominica China Friendship Hospital (DCFH) as a result of the said incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are urging anyone who may have useful information which could assist in solving these matters, please do not hesitate to contact the police at telephone number 266-5164 or 266-5165 or the hotline at 911 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-8477.\u201d<\/p>\n

He expressed condolences to the family and friends of Benjamin and Paul on behalf of the Chief of Police and other members of the Commonwealth of Dominica Police Force (CDPF).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Assistant Superintendent of Police, Belgrove Charles, who heads the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), is soliciting the assistance of the public in solving two homicides on January 2, 2022.
