Two more die in Dominica as murder rate escalates

TheDominican.net Newsdesk

Dominica has reported two murders in the course of one night bringing the total number of homicides in Dominica so far for the year to seven.

Police are reporting that 25-year-old Kirtlen Polydore of Pointe Mitchel was shot to death in the Southern village of Grand Bay following an altercation between two individuals. The suspected shooter is said to be a 17-year-old from Grand Bay and Police are currently searching for the gunman.

Meanwhile, Police in Mahaut reports that a young man of that village was stabbed to death on Friday and died early Saturday. Police have launched an investigation and the name of the victim has not been released.

Prior to these weekend events, the most recent murder occurred on May 11 with Police reporting the death of Cecil “Abott” James of Concord who was found naked in a pool of blood. A young man has since been arrested in this case.

Dominica has now recorded seven murders in 2009, just one shy of the record eight murders seen in the whole of 2008. Grand Bay has recorded three, Mahaut two, and one each in Concord and Bense.

Many in Dominica continue to express outrage at the increased number of killings and point to drugs as a possible trigger for much of the increased violence.

Is this the legacy of the current administration; unable to provide hope for the young people of Dominica resulting in them turning violently on each other.
 
There might just be EIGHT (8)for 2009 if we are to include Marcus Rogers a Special person of Bellevue Chopin whose lifeless body was fished out of the sea at Newtown near the Newtown Fisheries. It was alleged Marcus was struck with some object before his body was dumped in the sea. The police have been silent on this case so far. Ironically, it was announced that Marcus, may his soul rest in peace, was a"friend" of the Dominica Labour Party -Netown brach, and the head huncho homself, Hon Prime Minister Skerrit. Hope the police do not sweep that matter under the rug. So that just might bring the number to NONE (9)already for 2009!Under this Skerrit administration.
 
government instability, amid the the differing scandalagte exposures gives our young the wrong impression they have no one to look up to or respect, poverty incites lawlessness, crime is on the increase this is due to nothing more than unemployment. murders, drug traficking, violence on an unprecidented sacle.

the question is why? the answer is simple hundreds of thousands of dollars found on a boat, the guilty set free, and given their money back and sent on their way to carry on unhindered with their vile trade, perfect exmple to our young where is the rule that punishment should fit the crime.

the youth say well if they can do it and get off scot free then we can, drugs bring death either as a user, or a victim of gang warefare due to drugs and ending up in a coffin.

The government heads are distant from this it does not affect them directly they are not short of money
so dont worry be happy I am alright jack atitude this is the answer, and only we can change it.
 
This is a sure sign of lawlessness been committed following the example of lawless politicians. Ambrose George chosen Deputy Leader of the Labour Party after being twice fired fopr wrongdoing? In Dominica crime pays and the young are getting the message.
 
this is such a bad decision having bad people in power all it does is to endorse what we all think of Skerrit, MADNESS BLOODY MADNESS.

we have a madman in charge of of a yes minister government, this is ooh soo dangerous, he has to be got rid of once and for all, immagine what will happen when George starts to feel his feet more get rich quick schemes more evil deeds, more corruption then he will go and serve the communion wine in church and sing praises to our Lord.

bad very bad, all he is bothered about are his Friday pick ups from the quarries just to maintain his high flying life style thats all, he cares not a jot about God all he sees is money and how can he get at it, him and Skerrit make a good pair, hence the saying the Lord makes em but the devil pairs em

not a bit of wonder that crime is on the up and up, murders and the like when the young witness what is happening in government circles, a roundabout of corruption, of deceipt and lies, no wonder the police are falling out amongst themselves, not knowing which colleage to trust bad very bad.

but it is coming to an end at last and it will be a great day for Dominica when they are ousted, evicted from office, deposed, disgraced, and when all the enquiries into there past deeds ministry by ministry is completed just let us see how effective the Inefectual IPO is then, be interesting to see which of them resign probably all of em. good

We need to start afresh, disinfect everything clean up the mess they leave behind em and move forward with heads held high and rid our island of the stigma and stain of corruption and wrongdoing
 
YOU DOMINICANS IN THE DIASPORA SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY, SO INSTEAD OF THIS PILE OF TALK, WHICH IS GOOD, BUT YOU MUST DO THE HONORABLE THING, WHEN ELECTION IS CALLED FIND UR BUTTS THERE BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY AND VOTE SKERRITT OUT...PERIOD!!! VOTE FOR PAPPI INSTEAD
SKERRITT IS A DICTATOR IN THE MAKING...VIVA VENEZUELA, QUE MALDITA VAINA!!!
 
El Loco Suelto please do never think that the entire diaspora are not with you we are and we are comming by boat, by plain, and we will swim if we have to, we will never abandon our brothers and sisters to a madman in charge of a yes minister government with an inert and useless set of lap dogs who call themselves the IPO and get well paid for ensuring that it is inert and useless.

We are coming from the Bronx, New York, Staten Island, New Jersey, Chicago, even Memphis Tenasee,New Mexico, Canada, United kingdom we are coming to show our support and our love for Dominica and our brothers and sisters. who suffer every day we are coming, WE ARE COMING.

We are not fireside critics or armchair moaners we are with you alongside you, and we will be proud together and victorious in Dominica's dark hour of need, we pray every day sincerely from the bottom of our hearts, your pain is our nightmare, and TOGETHER we will put a stop to to all that is wrong in our beloved dearly beloved country oh yes brother we are comming.
 
This site is sooo ful of HATRED. Even the PM is being accused of murder....Oh My God! I won't be visiting this site anymore to read all this ranting and raving. I will be voting Pappi
 
Not hatred no only the bitter truth, truth is hard for those who abuse it, but for those who love the truth and walk a straight path it is a joy. all that has been said by the bloggers is fact, undeniable fact.

hatred and diatribe has been employed but only by the reds.
 
Do not forget Marcus Rogers of Bellevue Chopin, deceased, feared killed!
 
we dont and we never will
 
Thank you Anonymous of June 16. Marcus was a harmless, helpful, respectful, loving young man. He was Special in every way. I call on the POLICE to investigate his death VIGOROUSLY! We remember MARCUS ROGERS who died outside the fisheries at Newtown! Thanks.
 
To much people a die in Dominica. This Island has the lowest crime rate in the Caribbean if not the world. We need to keep it this way, because this is what we have to offer the world. Dominica is a hidden Secret garden just like in the days of Adam and Eve. If we continue to be disobedient we will lose this Garden of Eden and will become just like Babylon.
 
Somebody IS asleep and comatose with eyes tightly closed in some so-called "Secret Garden". Awake Sleeper. Don't you listen to the news, man?
 
Wow check Stupid Dominicans stooping down to that level to accuse the PM of this... just wow... How ridiculous, that's why most of you talking don't have a successful career. Maybe you should all try making 175k a year before wasting time and making pointless and uneducated comments..
 
So, You just realized how Stupid Dominicans are! And of course YOU LEAD the pack. The rest of us are just watching you make a BIGGER FOOL of yourself. You spoke for YOURSELF, KING STUPID.
