Raffoul (l), Prince<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The death of a 31-year-old Roseau woman which was initially being investigated by the police as a possible electrocution has resulted in the arrest of a popular deejay in Dominica for manslaughter.<\/p>\n

Albert \u201cDeeJay Alfie\u201d Raffoul appeared before the Roseau Magistrate court today, August 11, 2022, where the charge was read to him.<\/p>\n

According to information obtained from Nature Isle News, the charge which was read to the accused in court states, on August 8, 2022, at Gommier Stewart Estate, Raffoul did unlawfully kill Louisa Dorothy Prince.<\/p>\n

An initial report from Acting Inspector Fixton Henderson stated that Prince was found at about 6:30 p.m. on August 8, unresponsive in a greenhouse at the back of the house where she resided in Beau Bois.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe had apparent burns to her abdominal region and her knees; she appeared to have been electrocuted,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

At the court hearing, Raffoul was not required to enter a plea since the matter is an indictable offense and is expected to be heard at the High court before a Judge and jury.<\/p>\n

The police also charged Raffoul with the cultivation of 41 plants of cannabis at Gommier Stewart Estate on August 8, 2022, to which he pleaded not guilty.<\/p>\n

Nature Isle News further reported that when the issue of bail arose, the prosecution led by Inspector Davidson Cadette told the court that the public\u2019s interest must be taken into consideration as if found guilty the penalty for the offense of manslaughter is grave.<\/p>\n

However, Raffoul\u2019s attorneys, Kondwani Williams and Wayne Norde presented evidence to the court that their client was ill with a medical condition that requires surgery.<\/p>\n

They presented Nadia Raffoul as a proposed surety that presiding Magistrate Bernard Pacquette deemed as a fit and proper person to stand for the accused.<\/p>\n

On the charge of manslaughter, Raffoul was granted bail in the sum of $62,500.00 and $20,000.00 for the offense of the cultivation of cannabis.<\/p>\n

He is expected to return to court on November 25, 2022, for trial of the drug-related offense while the\u00a0 Preliminary Inquiry on the manslaughter charge is set for December 5, 2022.<\/p>\n

As part of the accused bail conditions, Raffoul is to report every Monday and Friday between 7 am and 7 pm to the Roseau Police Station, surrender his passport to the court, and must seek permission from the court to travel. It was ordered that should the defendant wish to change his address, he must give notice to the court and the police 72 hours in advance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The death of a 31-year-old Roseau woman which was initially being investigated by the police as a possible electrocution has resulted in the arrest of a popular deejay in Dominica for manslaughter.
