Defence to Appeal Murder Verdict in Killing of Quebec Couple in Dominica

The verdict followed testimony from two witnesses and ballistics evidence that linked one victim’s bullets to Jonathan Lehrer’s gun, prosecutors said.

  • On Tuesday, a Dominica jury convicted two Americans, Jonathan Lehrer and Robert Snyder Jr., of murdering Quebec entrepreneur Daniel Langlois and his partner, Dominique Marchand, in 2023.
  • A long-standing legal dispute over a public road crossing Lehrer's Bois Cotlette property preceded the killings; the road served as the main access route to Langlois's Coulibri Ridge eco-resort.
  • Prosecutors secured convictions using forensic ballistics linking Lehrer's gun to bullets found in Langlois, bolstered by testimony from two key witnesses placed the Americans at the crime scene.
  • Defense counsel Ravi Rajcoomar announced plans to appeal the verdict, while the court scheduled sentencing for the two men for September.
  • Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit's government appointed special prosecutor Keith Scotland from Trinidad and Tobago to oversee the case, addressing early public skepticism regarding Dominica's justice system.
