Tragedy Strikes Dominica: Man Kills Girlfriend Then Commits Suicide
In a shocking incident, a 29-year-old man took the life of his girlfriend on Friday before ending his own two days later.
Artie Nixon, a resident of Marigot, killed 42-year-old Daniella Nasha Fontaine from the same community and shockingly recorded the act, sharing it on social media.
Following the tragic event, Nixon consumed a toxic substance shortly afterward and was rushed to the Dominica-China Friendship Hospital (DCFH) for urgent care. Unfortunately, he passed away around 9:30 AM on Sunday.
Initial reports suggest that the tragic incident, which resulted in Fontaine’s death, occurred in a residential area during the early hours of the morning.
Fontaine’s body was examined on the scene and confirmed dead by the District Medical Doctor.
