Disapproval over relationship leads to murder

– 16-year-old in custody

Disapproval of a boyfriend/ girlfriend relationship ended in murder late Tuesday night at Paradise, East Coast Demerara, when a 20-year-old man was stabbed to death.

Dexroy Dodson

The 16-year-old boy, who reportedly inflicted the fatal injury on Dexroy Dodson of 393 Paradise Housing Scheme is now in police custody. Police yesterday visited the scene in the company of the alleged attacker in search of the murder weapon, suspected to be a knife. However, according to reports nothing was found.
Reports reaching Stabroek News are that several days ago, the 16-year-old had threatened his sister over seeing Dodson.

However, Dodson and the girl who is said to be 15 years old, met as usual near a roadside shop and were later seen sitting on a bench a short distance away chatting. Some time before 11 pm, the attacker, who was allegedly hiding in the vicinity, pounced from behind a lamppost opposite the bench the two were sitting on. After slapping his sister, he allegedly stabbed Dodson in the chest.

Wounded, Dodson made a desperate attempt to reach his home located some four house lots away but collapsed near a trench, a few metres away. He was found face down, the front of the white vest he was wearing drenched in blood.

After inflicting the injury, the attacker fled the area but this morning turned up at the Cove and John Police Station in the company of his mother. She, along with her daughter, was questioned by the police following the incident.

When this newspaper arrived in the village, several of the man’s relatives along with residents were gathered near the roadside shop, which he had frequented, talking about the incident.

His great aunt, Berna Wilson said Dodson had gone to Paradise towards the latter part of June, when her husband passed away.

She said that on Tuesday night around 7:45, she passed her great nephew and his girlfriend sitting on a bench at the side of the road, chatting.

According to Wilson, he had told her that he would be going home shortly but they were still sitting there just before 9 pm, as she saw them when a bus passed through the area.

The woman recalled that she had asked the man’s father for him.

She said that prior to the discovery of her great nephew’s body, the girl had passed her home twice and it appeared as though she was looking for Dodson. When the body was found, she said, it was already stiff.
A still distraught, Marlon Dodson told this newspaper that his son was at his home in Bachelor’s Adventure on Monday and he seemed his usual self. He said he was unaware that his son was involved with the teenaged girl.

Cell phone

He said he visited Wilson on Tuesday night and they had “a gaff”.

“I collect he [Dodson] bicycle and went out. When I coming back I did see two people sitting on de bench but didn’t know was de two of them,” he recalled adding he later decided that it was time to go home.

“When I walking out, I decide fuh ring he phone and I hear it nearby suh I turn back and find it in the bush by a lantern post,” he said, adding that seconds later he spotted “he [Dodson] by the trench corner” and quickly summoned his aunt, telling her to come and see something. When she arrived he said, “look Magga Man down there”.

The man said that although the area where his son’s body was found is well lit no one recalled seeing or hearing anything.

He said he visited the girl’s home yesterday and he was told that the attacker had been hiding and then emerged and slapped his sister, then fired what appeared to be a cuff at Dodson.

He said it would appear that the girl ran away before Dodson was stabbed. He said she told him that she “thought that he was cuffed and did not know he was stabbed”.

Stabroek News attempted to speak to the mother of the two teens but she said that she could not since she was running late for a visit to the station where the lad is being held.

‘A terror’

Residents yesterday described Dodson’s attacker as a terror, stressing that he was “ignorant and very aggressive”. They expressed anger that Dodson met his death in such a tragic way.

Stabroek News was told that Dodson had no known problems with anyone and trouble began last Sunday when his assailant voiced his disapproval at him speaking to his young sister. The two began seeing each other about three weeks ago.

Sharon, a woman who operates a small shop as the side of the road, recalled that she left Dodson at her stall around 6:30 Tuesday night after the area was hit by a blackout.

“I tell he man I going in due to the blackout, but he does normally keep me company everyday till I lock up,” she said, adding that she left him standing at the side of the road and went home.

“He was very close to me man. He was like a son,” the woman said.

Sharon described Dodson as a jovial person who never showed disrespect to anyone.

Dodson also leaves to mourn his mother Lavern Fortune and six siblings.

This is a tragedy.

I give my deepest sympathy to the family of the victim.

This young man who attack Dexroy is indeed ignorant.

Bad choices once again. Youths must understand that life is such, disagreement comes. It was not his right to kill the young man over seeing his sister with him.

Where is the father, that he had to be so over protective of his sister?

The culture of confrontation,arguement,and violence to solve problems is primitive.Education is the key .it should start at home, continue in school and reinforced by society.We need to change the way we solve problems,by cultivating a different nindset,that would reduce conflicts and misunderstanding.
We have to make that choice.The ego wants to be assertive,but we have to cultivate humility and reason and recognise that any alternative solution would have serious reprecussions.

Youth kill man over sister. Suh how de NS wud ah stop dat? What is needed is education, role models in the community, programs like the big brother - big sister groups. Ever so often these sad situations arise because of the lack of a father figure to guide the young ones. Stop blaming the government for everything little thing.

Why does everyone repeat the necessity of having a “father figure”, this is so cliche. The majority of Guyanese fathers are not fit or prepared to raise their kids properly. Not all criminals are without fathers in the home or from single parent household.

fineman/ak47,
You do sound like the real dead Fineman, not in words but in demonstrating your ignorance (or as eloise would say “ignarants”) in saying nonsense so comfumbled its hardly understandable except for the GNS thing. What the GNS has to do with this? How would the GNC have stopped this from happening? The real dead Fineman was just as “ignarant” like you that’s why he’s now dead.

Charriot
In reply to the above comment on September 4th, 2008 12:36 pm:
In the days of PNC rule, these senseless killings never existed. The youths had an opportunities in the GNS to master a skill. This government has no programs and no hope for the youths who drop out of school.

The streets are their last hope. Fineman is gone, but his recruits will rise to take up the void.

This is the cycle of life when a government neglects it’s youth.

If sports and athletics are promoted and sponsored nation wide it will aleviate some of the problems. Also, if tourism is a product the country wants to develop, then entertainment at every level is needed for the tourist sector. The government needs to cut the red tape and favoritism and allow entrepreneurship to florish in the country. All the concessions are given to the Indians, and the Indians are only employing their own kind.

The country now potrays everything Indian. Here in North America most people think that Guyana is an Indian nation. Where is the diversity?

Burnham never direspected any culture in Guyana.

I with you bro, chariot’s brain took off at full speed with all the horses in the Greek stables hooked up to the reins so that they don’t remember who or what Burnham was/did.
What athletics did we have in Burnham’s time? Those days every sport enterest was sponsored by the participant themselves, if you like football, you had to provide your own boots, hose, etcc. When last GFC or GCC had a track event?Lots of youths in those days who weren’t forced to join the GNS, were encouraged to plant something anywhere, thus the squatting became uncontrollable, that’s how we now have Sophia areas A-Z, East and West Ruimveldt Front Rd., Rasville, here there and everywhere, don’t even have time to mention all over. Today the govt regularised and slowed the squatting by giving people house lots to build their homes and laws against wanton squatting, so the youths now turn to crime cause they can’t plant whereever they chose no more.

The government today is too ‘ignorant’ to realize that.

Mackydog, you need to be more tolerant, stop your negativity.

You are too one-sided.

How could you say, “The real dead Fineman was just as “ignarant” like you that’s why he’s now dead.”?

Don’t be ignorant yourself. All right.

Capital punishment is required! Maybe if you are aware that if you take someone’s life, then you will suffer a similar fate, it will deter you from committing murder. However, I am also a supporter of due process and there must be no mistake that this person committed the crime.

The youths in Guyana now have access to primetime hip-hop tv from the U.S that’s leading them astray.
The culture in Guyana is being destroyed by hip-hop music and videos. Fourteen and fifteen years old watch and listen to rappers rapping about violence, guns and easy money and they think it’s cool, they want to be like them.
However, rapping is not the problem, alot of these teens think that’s the way these rappers live and since they want to be like them, they start stealing and commmit robberies with guns and other weapons so they can buy cool jewelry and clothing. The girls are now dressing like the girls in the music videos and parents now are experiencing a more difficult time keeping their teens in check.
The school system does not help alot since now they have teens teaching teens in high schools, which leads to students not having respect for teachers.
There are no decent recreational facilities for teens hang out and socialize anymore. Greedy businessmen bought and destroy all the movie theaters and built more rum shops and hotels and it goes on and on…

By the way during Burnham’s time he made sure that the youths were occupied learning a skill or doing something worthwhile so there was not enough time for them to get into so much mischief

Nah bro, whether he had a job or not has nothing to do with his actions which were due to lack of home discipline. Ever so often I used to hear parents saying that they can’t wait for school to open to get rid of the children because they can’t handle them. Those are the children who cause a ruckus in school because the parents can’t control them and depend on teachers to instil discipline.

My sympathy goes out to the both families, because they both in my eyes they both arew still kids , but this just show the break down in the family structure in guyana, we are allowing our kids, young men or they think because there arenot a male adult in the home they have to become the man of the house , this should have been something he should have gone to his mom with and felt that she would have control that situation ,but maybe he felt she couldnt or wouldnt and to hear the fellow villagers talk about his behaviour dont they think it was as much there responsibility as his mother to curb his behavior ,to me that shows he has a lot of love for his sister and felt that he is the only one that could have done something about it,he should not have to carry that burden as a child my heart ache for both families ,they ar both victims in this situation. he just have to be thought the right way to handle problems,and where is the mother ?and the father?

Based on this report, this appears to be such a senseless act indeed.
My condolences to both families because they have both lost.
The whys would always be there as long as the present culture of violence, fascination with violence, absentee fathers creating single parent homes/households and other contributory acts continue.
There have been a wealth of suggestions that were good bad or outrageous from other bloggers and myself in this forum on how to curtail/stop this trend.
Something has GOT to be done and quickly before our nation is self taken into obscurity.
The government and by extension the politicians are sooo silent on these social issues it’s pathetic. But are we going to continue sitting on our laurels and just continue being the laughing stock of the Caribbean or are we going to get something going to try to solve this morass of social problems that continue to burden us?

The time of the comment are not far apart either…anyway i feel so much sympathy for the family of the deceased.
We must be able to recognize very early these horrific tendencies and recommend professional counseling. Its too easy to sit back and hope someone will turn themselves around later. If such counseling is not easily available, then call a family meeting around the table and lay everyone’s soul and grievances on it.
Before they have even lived, one is dead and the other lost in jail.

Now what does that tell you and me…that sometimes we see a post and then someone bigging up that poster when it’s the same person looking for kudos for himself…good idea but that ain’t right.

What happened here is that tiger sent the comment and thought it did not go thru (because of the usual delay to moderate it), so he sent it back in his other name, not knowing they would both come thru. Just look at the time difference they were sent - tiger 4.56 pm, malcolmx 4.59 pm. This is not “odd”, this is deliberate and by the same person.

I am so tired of so many young black men taking the lives of other black men wether its in guyana or the united states its time for a chage.

why is this happening we are suppose to look out for one another and help build our black race to make it the best it can be but due to ignorance we will always fail and be at the bottom of the pit.

once again my deepest sympathy to the family of dexroy dodson i know it wount be easy but your son is in a better place may he rest in peace..,,

hope my words makes a great difference with the young black men around
the world

Parenting skills are practically non existent in most of these cases. We see mothers working to take care of the children and absent fathers. These children are left alone to take care of younger siblings and set their own rules.

I do not fault the brother for watching out for his younger sister. The way he went about it was wrong and very tragic, for him and the young man that was killed. He acted the best way his 16 year old brain and emotions were capable off. As adults it’s easy for us to call him a murderer and condem him for the rest of his life. In my opinion, he made a mistake. He was assuming his parents responsibilities, why shouldn’t they be held accountable for his actions to some extent?

It’ tragic, this young man die; but if he was such a good man, what was he doing with a fifteen year old. She should forever carry this man death and her brother going to jail with her. At fifteen she should have been home.

I know its frowned upon to speak badly of the dead and by no means am i saying he deserved his fate, but as to blame a 15 yr old child and not the adult is beyond me…. Yes she should be home but the young man should be looking at women more of his age and not taking advantage of CHILDREN….. thats the problem in guyana just because its done alot doesnt make it OKAY……. NO 20yr old should be attracted or looking to date or kissing a 15 yr old girl………

im sorry her brother is as ‘ignorant’ thought thats not the correct term, more like hot headed to do something so stupid but the victim should have realised that 15 is way too young and if he was treatened before really looked at his choices too………… poor judgement on ALL of parties involved…….

Education is the key to success .People act like animals because of lack of knowledge.Guyanese ,it is time to start playing an active role in your children’s lives .Start teaching young men and women morals,encourage them to focus on their education so that they can be of value to their nation.Mothers teach your daughters how to remain pure and fathers teach your sons how to respect themselves and others,especially women.My prayers go out for both parents.May God take control in their hours of need.

Charriot you got it right:
You said in the days of PNC rule, these senseless killings never existed.
We had the kick down the door bandit which was more meaningfuf during PNC time.GNS was a Burnham failure.You blame the PPPC for youths dropping out of school.I now ask you this very important question.Why is it only one section of youths comitting these crimes?How many other youths of different races cant find jobs but dont revert to a life of crime and killings?Was it the Government that neglected Fineman and Skinny?This lad took it upon himself to kill the guy his sister loves.He killed the guy because he did not like him for his sister.What the Government has to do with that.Simply put, He is a killa and dats all there is to it.
