American Chocolatier and Accomplice Charged in Murder of Canadian Animator and Partner

The victims, Daniel Langlois and Dominique Marchand, were found dead near their Caribbean resort amid a longstanding dispute over a public road.

American chocolatier Jonathan Lehrer and Robert Snider, another American, have been charged with the murder of Canadian animator Daniel Langlois and his partner, Dominique Marchand, in Dominica.
The victims' charred remains were found in a burned car near their Caribbean resort, Coulibri Ridge Eco Resort.
The murders are believed to be linked to a years-long dispute between Lehrer and Langlois over a public road that cuts through Lehrer’s chocolate estate, Bois Cotlette.
Langlois had previously taken Lehrer to court over the road dispute, and the court ruled in Langlois' favor.
Lehrer and Snider are currently in custody at the Dominica State Prison.
