I sincerely hope that she enjoys the accomodations in whatever Dominican prison she ends up in..and hopefully for a very long time.

I don't condone murder. But in this case, he must have done the ultimate in enraging her to the point of insanity.
This is yet another instance and a prime example why I don't go around pissing women off!

Already an auction is going on in Najayo prison, to see who will win the companionship of this "blanca" with a British accent.
She will probably be out in less than 10 years, but one year in Najayo will age her times ten.

Many are too quick to judge before the full facts are in. I agree, let's wait for the facts to emerge.

Generoso,

She'll be put in a Women's prison in DR, no? The females might get to her before the males....

Yes there is the women's section in DR jail, but in all honesty, most females prisoners rather be in the company of male prisoners, than with the hard core femmes.

I am a regular visitor to the DR and am born British and lived in England all my life, Put a women from DR in front of me and a Women from Unighted Kingdom and I will choose the Dominican Women every time, British women are totally screwed in the head, They are selfish and self centered and totally full of themselves.
Dominican Republic women are kind lovely and the Love they have is true and from the heart for the want of nothing but to be truly loved back.
I have been free and single for 2 years since breaking up with My DR Girl Awi and that way it will stay as I am not prepared to put myself with a gold digging nutty English girl.
And Dominican Women are so much stronger they are lovely, Dominican women any day of the week, British women are just yuk

If she hadn't run over him several times she could have claimed it was an accident, since the Civilized Brits Drive on the Wrong Side of the Road; but then come to think of it So do WE!

She'll be sentenced to a women's prison & it won't be that bad at all. I'd rather be in DR jail than in US/UK jail, that's for sure! In DR jail you buy a private cell ($500 in the mid-1990's) with your own key (it's like an apartment), have a DVD player, rum, cell phone, weed, food, whatever you can afford really. The smart thing to do is buy a couple extra beds & invite a couple Dominicans to live with you to be a bodyguards & do the cooking/cleaning.

I simply cannot believe some of the braindead comments I have read here. He was a close friend and about as nice a person you have ever met. The community in which he had lived is very shaken up and his family devestated. Anyone saying he must have deserved it or something similar has no clue what a great person he was and that anyone who does anything she is accused of is clearly nuts for lack of a better term. Please, if you didn't know him, don't embarress yourself with stupid comments and allow him to be remembered for the good person he was.

Kenny.. did I disparage they guy involved? no! Did I make any accusations about him? no!
If you chose to read that into it then that's up to you..
I only asked a question that acknowledges the fact it's very rare for anyone to do such a thing without some prior problems.

The crime is not to be excused. However, given the dominican mentalidad, I am sure those who say they know the guy as a very good person, would say so even if he had 10 other ladies in his harem.

If this was a gruesome murder what was the murder of those two young ladies labeled as, happened a year or so back, who was run down and killed by this famous baseball player, because he couldnt get to one of them. I wonder if someone could enlighten me at which jail he is serving time right now.

"However, given the dominican mentalidad, I am sure those who say they know the guy as a very good person, would say so even if he had 10 other ladies in his harem."

Even if that were the case..are you somehow insinuating that what transpired is well deserved as a result? The man was run over like an animal, again and again. This was a ruthless act of murder and in absolutely no terms can it be justified. Maybe you would 've valued his life more if his surname had been something like Blomkvist and he had hailed from your neck of the woods.

75,
did u read my post. "The crime is not to be excused". I could add even if he had a 100 in his harem, this crime is in no way to be justified. Give her what she deserves when all facts are on the table.

btw what did u write on the issue of the baseballplayer and do u know his punishment???????

I'm extremely curious to find out what could have possibly set this woman off, to run this guy over and over again! Perhaps DT will follow up on this case and, eventually, fill us in on the true motives for this event.

This is a tragic loss for everyone and my condolences to both famlies. However, I do not believe this was a simple case of spontaneous combustion. There was something which triggered this women to commit such a violent and horrendous act regardless of how nice this guy was. People don't just run over others from one day to the next unless she was already mentally insane and if that is the case the guy should have run for his life and not gotten further involved with this women. But hey hindsight is only 20/20. The smart thing to do is always pick your battles, one you know for sure ya'gonna win and unfortunately this was one battle too many.

Don't want to judge without fact, but she must've had enough ,though ,as a Doninican / British myself, I know how certain female Brits behave, either at home or abroad but there are lots of Dominican males out there ( Muy Chulos), whom have no respect for women of any kind and ,for what Dominican women is concerned, they aren't my cup of tea really. There's nothing compares to a well spoken , sweet and good Lay Colombian female,. woooouuh, Ay papito, que dulce son Las Colombis, nice accent and the best spoken Spanish in the world.
P/S;: I DO NOT AGREE WITH WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT BLOKE, OK? Nobody deserves to be killed, there're other ways to sort problems out but some people can't just take it.

Yes, that's right. Colombian women can tell you, in no uncertain way, and with the prettiest, clearest Spanish, where to go to eat caca,and how to screw yourself with a sharp item!!

How do I know? I had been married to one, for 18 hellish years!...I think I'll settle for a sweet, docile Dominican, this time around!...Incomprehensible Spanish, notwithstanding.

Wow, amazing how people here simply jumped into conclusions about the Dominican guy. You sound like people don't kill people all over the world in a similar manner, and guess what, not all victims are Dominican men.

Anywhoo, no matter how much he infuriated her, or whatever the case is, she committed an act, a crime, that cannot be taken back because she took someone's life, and thus, needs to pay the consequences.

Whatever happen to walking away to cool off?

I thought her last name sounded "non british" but I was wrong..

This very unusual and interesting name is of medieval English origins. It is locational from a now lost medieval village in the county of Devonshire called in the 13th century "Melehewis". The derivation is from the Olde English pre 7th century words "maele", meaning brightly coloured, and "hiwisc", a hide of land.

Many gruesome and hateful crimes against women are committed every day by low-lifes bent on imposing their macho superiority. The abuse and humiliation suffered by women throughout the world, but especially in DR, is more than reason enought to kill the beast many times over, and justified it with impunity for the victim.

I suspect this sensationalized event might have been a "crime of passion", and should be punished accordingly, but what happens to so many women today in this nation, is something horrific that does not carry enought penalties for the perpetrator that are freed to do the same again to some other hapless creature.

I say give death to those that give death!

I've know the both of them for a while and there must have happened something really bad otherwise I can't explain this at all, he was a very sweet loving man but she (nicole) loved him very very much , so I wonder what triggered her to go this far, but I really feel for both families cos I can't imagine that she did this on purpose , she must have been out of her mind and very very hurt, Nicole is not the person who would normally do this, they were married for a few years. But I must say I can imagine that some women ( and I can't speak for Nicole cos she is not a close friend ) can get fed up with the sankie plays that are going on and it is getting worse every year..maybe some just have been hurt one time to often and this is the result, but I am only guessing.
Just don't judge untill you know the facts, that is all I am trying to say.
