Gene Pestaina, the former Director of Public Prosecutions, has died.

Pestaina had a long battle with cancer and a shorter one fighting the Roosevelt Skerrit administration over the payment of his gratuity that the government said he was not legally due.

Gene was the husband of former Dominica Freedom Party political leader Judith Pestaina.
