L’incendie de la rue Sadi-Carnot : horreurs d’un geste inconsidéré

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Martinique FranceAntilles

Pointe-à-Pitre (Guadeloupe), le 21 décembre 2007. Un homme en feu surgit d’un bazar chinois situé au 15 de la rue Sadi-Carnot, en plein cœur de la cité pointoise. Il vient de réussir à sortir du magasin en flammes. Les événements se précipitent. C’est l’embrasement général. Les corps de sept victimes seront découverts dans les décombres. Une huitième décèdera à l’hôpital. Il aura fallu près de 8 heures aux pompiers pour éteindre l’incendie. C’est un pétard jeté par un collégien sur un étal de feux d’artifice situé à l’entrée du bazar qui est à l’origine du drame.

«J’ai tout perdu. Notre maison est restée dans
l’état où elles l’ont quittée. Tout est à la même place. Je ne
souhaite à personne ce que je vis. Je dors trois heures par nuit
(…) ».

Christian Colombo, l’époux de Marie Colombo, et
père de Catiuska Colombo, âgées respectivement de 50 ans et 24 ans
ce 21 décembre 2007, 2 des 8 victimes de l’incendie du bazar de la
rue Sadi-Carnot à Pointe-à-Pitre, a tenu à s’exprimer en fin
d’audience le lundi 23 septembre 2013. 

Six ans après les faits, après l’émotion et le
recueillement, les investigations menées sous la direction d’un
juge d’instruction, l’heure était aux présumés responsables du
drame de répondre devant la justice, en l’occurrence, le tribunal
correctionnel de Pointe-à-Pitre. Pas les 4 mineurs impliqués
directement dans l’incendie, mais l’ex-maire de Pointe-à-Pitre,
Henri Bangou, le propriétaire de l’immeuble où se trouvait le
bazar, Henri de Kermadec, et le gérant du commerce, Kaï Li. Ils
avaient à répondre d’homicides involontaires. 

Les 4 jeunes soupçonnés d’avoir jeté le pétard sur
les feux d’artifice situés à l’entrée du bazar et qui étaient âgés
de 14 à 17 ans au moment des faits, seront jugés eux-aussi pour
homicides involontaires quelques mois plus tard, devant le tribunal
pour enfants.

« À partir de là, ce sera
l’enfer »

Nous sommes le vendredi 21 décembre 2007. Catiuska
Colombo, qui vient tout juste de terminer ses études d’ostéopathe à
Paris, est venue passer les fêtes de fin d’année au pays. Il est
environ 16 heures. Elle se trouve au bazar chinois
« Fortuna » situé au 15 de la rue Sadi-Carnot, en plein
cœur de Pointe-à-Pitre, avec sa mère Marie, cadre à la Sécurité
sociale. La famille vit à Petit-Bourg. Les rues pointoises sont
encore animées. Ce sont les achats de Noël. Et parmi tout ce monde
se trouvent des collégiens, à l’évidence grisés par l’ambiance de
fête qui se dégage.

Gwendolyn Wright speaks after Rushane Barnett sentencing

NEWYou can now listen to Loop News articles!

Gwendolyn McKnight, the mother of 34-year-old Kimberly Wright who was brutally murdered along with her four children in Cocoa Piece, Clarendon in June of this year, was in the Home Circuit Court in downtown Kingston on Thursday to witness the sentencing of Rushane Barnett, a nephew of hers, who did the dastardly acts.

After the handing down of five life sentences with a stipulation for the convict who pleaded guilty to the crimes, to be only eligible for parole consideration after spending 61 years and eight months in prison on each count, which will run concurrently, McKnight expressed satisfaction, although she wanted a longer sentence.

She, along with another female relative, expressed their emotions during an after-court interview in which a particular officer of the court was hailed for her team’s work that produced the satisfactory sentencing.

Above, the video captured the family members with their composed reactions amid the still horrific memories of the killings.

Retired US army officer charged with love triangle murder in Buff Bay Loop Jamaica

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Jamaica News Loop News

A retired US army officer has been charged with murder in connection with the fatal shooting of a man in Buff Bay, Portland, Jamaica last week.

The accused, Emilie Lee Tracy, was charged on the weekend for the murder of 43-year-old Craig Senior, a resident of Woodstock Heights in Buff Bay.

Senior was shot dead in front of his wife on Sunday, October 9.

Investigators reported that Mr Senior was at home with his wife and daughter when the 45-year-old retired soldier drove up to the premises and called out Mrs Senior.

The wife reportedly went to the gate and told Tracy to leave, which triggered a heated argument between the two.

Mr Senior intervened and confronted the American, who is known to reside in Florida, about his presence at the home.

It is alleged that during exchange, the American pulled a firearm and shot Mr Senior in the abdomen.

The injured man subsequently died.

Tracy was later arrested in St Mary.
