Dominican authorities have formally charged Donald Michael Dorival with murder in connection with the death of Everton Sabin, a Bath Estate resident. The accused, an adult male from the Elmshall area, appeared at the Roseau Magistrate Court on March 17, 2026, where the capital charge was formally presented. Magistrate court proceedings resulted in Dorival’s remand to State Prison without entering a plea, as murder qualifies as an indictable offense within Dominica’s judicial system. The court has scheduled the preliminary inquiry commencement for June 29, 2026.
According to official police reports, the investigation began when Sabin was discovered with critical injuries on March 14, 2026, in the Elmshall vicinity. Emergency responders transported the victim to Dominica-China Friendship Hospital for urgent medical intervention. Despite receiving comprehensive trauma care, Sabin succumbed to his injuries on March 15, 2026, prompting the homicide investigation.
In a separate criminal development, law enforcement officials are investigating another homicide case involving Rasaan Griffith of Goodwill, who died on March 13, 2026. The prime suspect, identified as 32-year-old Anselm Florent from Castle Bruce, voluntarily surrendered to the Criminal Investigation Department on March 17, 2026. Florent remains in police custody as detectives continue their investigation into Griffith’s death.
