delbertnicholas15062011Orient Bay/French Quarter:--- Hotel workers, guests, relatives and friends of Delbert Elisha Nicholas (28) employee of Alamanda Hotel are still in shock as they mourn his sudden demise. Nicolas was chopped to death on Tuesday night not far away from his home on Yellow Tail Road Sandy Ground.
Colleagues of Delbert describe him as an honest and hard working man who was working for Alamanda for the past 9 years. He leaves to mourn his parents and two young children ages 6 and 2 years old.
Egbert Nicholas, father of the victim said his son was chopped to death by some Spanish men who attacked his son Delbert and his friend Willy Lake. The elder Nicolas said that he learnt that the three Spanish men had an argument Sunday night in a bar and restaurant with his son's friend Willy and they returned Tuesday night to Sandy Ground to settle the score. "Willy was on the scene Tuesday night but he escaped unharmed." The suspects they said also lives in Sandy Ground.
Nicholas said one of the attackers who are of Spanish decent was accidentally shot by his own cousin the main perpetrator of the attack and killing. The unknown victim he said died on the spot, while his son Delbert died at the Louis Constant Fleming Hospital. The attackers he said chopped Delbert on his neck, head and side. The bereaved father said he does not have the details of the Tuesday nights' fight but somehow his son was actively involved in a wrestling. Relatives of the deceased man said they know the main perpetrator whom they said works in St. Barths and lives in Sandy Ground.
A press release from the Gendarmerie states that the incident occurred around 10pm on Yellow Tail Road and two persons ages 28 and 36 years old died. The gendarmes are busy investigating.

    What is a happening to my island that was once the gem of the Caribbean? Every day one is reading about crime and drugs.
    It never used to be this way when St. Maarteners were the majority.
    Immigration control should be placed on the front burner. I like what happened in Curacao just the other day. An immigration raid took place while a big party was going on. Raid netted 21 or so illegals. Congrats Curacao. SXM officials hope you took note.
    Things has gotten so bad on this island that even our government officials require a body guard 24/7.

    Min of Justice, Prime Minister and all the others, please note that we cannot afford a body guard to protect us from the mess created by progress and your slack border protection, so please do whatever is necessary to protect your law abiding tax paying citizen. Pllllllleeeeaaaa**ssseeee!!!!!!!

    Condolences to the bereaved family (ies)

  • Spanish?
    avatar

    What is this obsession with referrring to persons as 'Spanish' in our community -- when they are in fact not Spanish?. Whenever the word is used in St. Maarten, reference is being made to a person who originates from a Spanish speaking central or south american country. So, the person may be a Dominican (from Dominican Republic), a Peruvian, a Bolivian, a Venezuelan, a Chilean, an Ecuadorian etc. etc. The correct used of 'Spanish' should refer to a national from Spain -- which by the way is located in Europe. So, why don't we just get it right and move on?

    My condolences to the family, I mean it...........but Friendly I am afraid that a large proportion of the problems in St Maarten are done by those whom you consider as St Maarteners. The rest of the problems also arise, at least indirectly, from those you consider to be St Maarteners. It is not right to blame everybody but yourself. Sorry :sad:

    Spanish
    We get where you all are coming from, but the reality is that on St. Maarten we have our own vernacular and when one says 'Spanish' the average person understands exactly what is meant with that, so lighten up already. 8)

    I see a few people are accusing the administrator or the writer of this article of providing false information based on the a**UMPTION that when he/she says "SPANISH" she meant people from the Dominican Republic.
    Unless you were there and the suspects showed you their pa**ports that is the only way you would know FOR A FACT that the people are indeed from Dominican Republic if this did not happen all of you should SHUT UP, read the article and wait to see the outcome.
    By the some of the same idiots talking on this site, when they drive down A.T. Illidge road and they hear all those bars playing Spanish music, the majority of them don't say there are Dominican Bars, you say there are a lot of Spanish bars on this street.

    Ignorance is not an excuse.

    Were living in 2011 and its about time we start correcting our primitive attitudes and mentalities.

    We still use a lot of gibridge in our local lingo but when we write BS on internet we allowing the whole world to observe how backward and unlearned we express ourselves.

    As a result we are not setting the proper example for our children or our status as a internatrional and modern tourist resort.

    When you hear salsa merengue ,bolero ,son bachata or flamenco we should learn to refer to it in the proper term as the use in the music industry which is Latino music.

    And the way you are describing spanish speaking people is RACIST .

    Most of the local women hate any woman who speaks spanish because their man is usually horning them with one...thereforefore the expression,,,"|You think Im a goddamn spanish?

    We have to start training ourself to be more realistic in our thinking and expressions if we want to set the proper example to our children...

    Most of these foreighners have done our dirty jobs for half price on this island for the last 40 yrs, everything from menial work, construction and the sex trade so who we think we foolin???

    Try puttin some local **tches in your whorehouses then!!!

    If only people like "divined" would come clean and tell sxmners why they really came to this lovely, friendly island? We open our arms (we marry you), our homes (you break husband/wife), our schools (we have to pay extra for after school programs), our government (many have turn the law around to please you), and our streets (we are being rob/rape/kill). What else do you people want. If would guess to destroy and then move on to the next little unsuspecting island. Sxm was small, backward, uneducated, but with all our short commings,you people refuse to leave and go back to where you come. Something is wrong with this picture. Nothing against foreigners, it is your attitude and bad behaviour. Leave at home before coming to Sxm and only than we can live in harmony. Food for thought?

    EVERYONE IS HURTING!! WE KNOW ITS PAINFUL! HOWEVER SHOW SOME RESPECT.. A MAN DIED AND LEFT 2 KIDS AND A FAMILY. GO TO THE AREA HE WAS KILLED AND PUT SOME FLOWERS THERE FOR HIM AND SHOW ALOT OF RESPECT!!! SHOW THAT WE ARE STILL CIVILIZED

    When they commit a crime, the government should send their royal **** back to their country. :sad:

    Noone, no matter where they are from should be kill especially in that manner. The people who go around with machette are people that cut cane etc. Sxmn people do not use machette in this fashion. We box your a-s down when we have to. The cowards that come to this island should be sent back. The ones that come in peace are welcome. This man was a living being with dreams and plans, make those scums bags and their families take care of his children for life.

    To Trevor Paul and Ridiculous: why are you here reading what you call a ridiculous newspaper? Is it because you are too damn cheap to buy a newspaper. It seems to me that while you dont make ay contribution to the news here you criticize the people who are contributing free. Reasons why St. Maarten is going backward instead of forward. Its low minded and stupid people like you that causes such.
