Why do they post a crazy eyes picture of the victim to go with this article without clearly identifying it. Some strange choices

Headline reads like Mad Libs.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


An American chocolatier and his alleged accomplice have been charged in the Caribbean island of Dominica with the murder of a Canadian animation innovator and eco-resort owner and his partner days after their bodies were found in a burned-out car.

Jonathan Lehrer, 57, and Robert Snider appeared in magistrates court in Roseau, the capital, on Wednesday to face charges relating to the murders of Daniel Langlois and Dominique Marchand.

Radio-Canada, citing local sources, said that Langlois and Marchand had been ambushed and killed before their car plunged into the ravine and caught fire last Friday.

In 2018, after Lehrer tried to block the route using rocks and metal pipes and by digging a trench, the eastern Caribbean supreme court ruled it was a public road paid for by taxpayers.

The couple spent 15 years building Coulibri Ridge on a 285-acre property, including a five-year delay after Hurricane Maria in 2017.

Along with five three-storey cottages, the resort features its own power-generating mini grid as well as a rainwater-harvesting system, 90 solar panels and an appointment-only spa, with 40 staff members and three infinity pools.


The original article contains 540 words, the summary contains 184 words. Saved 66%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

No lawyer in the world is getting this guy off.

Depends on how much that lawyer is paid, I suppose. He'll probably still go to jail happy though.
