Canadian killed in Residencial Hispaniola

I would not want to be responsible for the security of such a place but it's totally doable if the owners / residents are willing to pay for it and live under tight security. The problem is that most people don't see or feel the need, they're not willing to pay and they definitely don't want to "feel" the security.
Sea Horse Ranch gets it right or close enough. Can't recall a home invasion or murder in a villa there.

Same is true for Beach Palace. Very good Security. Never had a problem in last 7 years that We have been coming here.

Its not just DR... crimes of passion,random acts of violence , premeditated murder all carry one thing in common "Someone gets hurt or dies''.
I would venture to say 99.9% of the victims are unaware of the potential of loosing their life until it happens .Then it is too late.
Diligence and awareness of your surroundings at all times is imperative if we wish to live in a safe environment.
Prepare for the worst and plan for the best.
My Tourism Project here in Luperon was basically wiped out when the Developers died..... even though we were assured of a real succession plan.
The reliance on the assigned guard gave us a feeling of false security...Today I feel much more secure looking after my families secure environment myself.
I come from a Province in Canada where ''my'' Denturist killed 23 innocent persons in a premeditated killing spree....this past weekend.... no one expected that.
I have a hard time brushing my teeth and smiling.
I cannot imagine the horror the Hispinola Canadian Victim experienced prior to his demise.
It is unfathomable ; and shivers my bones to think about it.
Rest in Peace fellow traveler , our thoughts are with you.

'House, in your opinion, how should Property Management have better handled this situation?
Yes, another murder. Yet the expat community generously feeds them and their families during this epidemic. Expats are always the first to rescue the locals in times of despair. Raising money for food, house repairs and furniture. Yet the murders and extortion continue and we sit back and let it happen.
Oh puh-leeze. If I had a nickel for every time I heard this old gem.
SeaMonkey, you seem like you have experience in life enough to know that "charity" is an illusion. There are two types: 1. I give myself the pleasure of pleasing myself. 2. I give myself the pleasure of pleasing others. The second is more subtle and dangerous because it tells me how great I am.
Not surprised this happen in Sosua its becoming the arm pit of such a beautiful island.
Exactly what i was thinking. People leave America and have family members in poverty and want to come to the dominican and play save the world to feed their egos
Had a few drinks with friends at the Sea Horse restaurant
on the ocean late last year. Their security is the best I've seen
anywhere outside of the states aside from Egypt.
Security at Sea Horse ranch is in fact very good. The community as a whole is very nice. South Africa has more private security than just about anyplace on the planet. Just about every community and business has private security , ARMED
And how did you come to this conclusion that the two victims were here to "feed their egos" ?
BTW They were both Canadians, R.I.P and one of the victims lived in the "the dominican" sic* for 27 years.
I must say that I have a healthy, ok huge ego. Throwing a chica or a shoeshine boy a few hundred pesos is not going to make it any bigger. Sad that the old guy was killed. Not saying its the case here, but many lonely older gentleman with means come here for companionship and get taken advantage of. Its not new.
