Jonathan Scott Lehrer and Robert Snider Jr. have been remanded into custody at the Dominica State Prison<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Murder-accused, American-born owner of the Bois Cotlette, Jonathan Lehrer is applying for bail at the High Court in Roseau.<\/p>\n

Lehrer who is currently on remand at the Dominica State Prison was jointly charged with his said accomplice Robert Snider Jr. for the murder of Coulibri Ridge Eco-Resort owners Daniel Langlois and his partner Dominique Marchand on December 6, 2023.<\/p>\n

His bail application has been adjourned to Monday, April 15, 2024.<\/p>\n

The matter is being heard before High Court Judge Colin Williams. The state is reportedly opposing the bail application.<\/p>\n

On December 1, 2023, police discovered the charred remains<\/a> of two individuals in a burnt vehicle at Gallion at about 7:00 a.m., believed to be those of French Canadians Langlois and Marchand, respected proprietors of the highly regarded Coulibri Ridge Eco Resort, who had been reported as missing. The burnt vehicle also aligned with the description of the missing couple, police sources further revealed.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, according to the police, extreme fire conditions rendered the bodies unidentifiable, compelling investigators to rely on circumstantial evidence linking them to the missing couple.<\/p>\n

Langlois and Lehrer found themselves embroiled in a heated dispute regarding the use of the Morne Rouge Public Road, a passage that cuts through Bois Cotlette\u2019s 53-acre estate.<\/p>\n

The dispute started when Lehrer, the owner of Bois Cotlette Inc, blocked the road by placing boulders, digging a trench, and deploying equipment, impeding Langlois\u2019 access to the Coulibri Ridge property. This interference prompted Langlois to take legal action, citing damages, loss, and tortious interference with their economic interests. They sought a permanent injunction against Lehrer and his company from disrupting their use of the Morne Rouge Public Road.<\/p>\n

Legal proceedings commenced with an interim injunction issued on October 30, 2018, by the High Court mandating Lehrer to unblock the road and restore it to its prior condition. Subsequent hearings in November 2018 led to further court orders, including directives involving the Attorney General.<\/p>\n

In 2019, High Court Judge Bernie Stephenson, in her ruling, affirmed the road\u2019s public status, granting Langlois\u2019 guests unrestricted access.<\/p>\n

Lehrer and Snider are represented by attorneys-at-law Wayne Norde and Lennox Lawrence.<\/p>\n
