125? 125? 125?

Naah, and just like all the hundreds of attempted murders we've had this year due to this incompetent government destroying the economy, this one will be put down to " someone looking in their trunk for a snickers bar, accidentally slipping, and falling in, at the exact moment a seagul landed on it, closing the trunk and locking him in. The bullet holes were incidental and wholly unrelated"

Birdie will come along soon and clarify that this is indeed the case.

Excelllent synopsis, sir. Thank you.

Clearly, this person was negligent in parking their vehicle so close to the canal, knowing full well the dangers seagulls present to people rummaging in car trunks - very dangerous, clearly.

A citation for Reckless Parking seems in order, doesn't it? Case closed.

Nothing to see here, people. Move along please*

How did they find the car? Too much tv...too many empty vessels

People reported the car in the canal. Guess they was fishing or swimming and spotted it.

Any ankle bracelet ? Was he one of the eight bailed this year as mentioned by her ladyship AG AMG.

As of October 31, the country tied or surpassed the murder record (127) set in 2011. Depending on the classification of the body found in bushes in Freeport. Two full months left in 2015 and with the country averaging 12.5 murders a month there could be 153 murders this year. Shocking thing is government has offered no statement on what they intend to do about increasing murder and increasing crime in general. Is capital punishment the only other alternative?

They have the answer to crime!! It's all the FNM's fault!!

They have an answer, but crime never was asking them no questions

you all may play politics as much as you wish . But these are serious times. it is not a matter to take lightly. Who knows for whom the bell will toil next. The PLP was wrong to print what ever signs they did. But these are frightening times. The Devil and his demons have taken procession of many. FNM's PLP's and DNA's must all beware.

You folks seem to rejoice when young men lose their lives as if it is way to get back at the PLP even some in the TV and Print Media. Those people did not deserve loosing their lives. and the death penalty will change nothing. If you all want to fight the PLP find some other means do not use the lives of people as a political foot ball. remember the PLP FNM or DNA do not have the answer. It all goes to the hearts and minds of people. and only God can make the change.

Your PLP made this political, they used crime to their advantage in 2012 and told the nation they had the answer on day 1. We now know that was a LIE. So stop acting all holy when the mood suites you and your evil party. At least you tell the truth now and admit that your corrupt PLP do not have the answer and never did. The truth can not be hidden any longer.

You will do well to remember that the FNM did the same thing in 2007. Do you remember what they had to say about Mother Pratt. It is gone beyond that now. So let him who is without sin cast the first stone. As far as evil goes. Evil start in the heart and violence is in the pen and speech.

@asiseeit,
Never argue with an idiot, they'll drag you down to their level then beat you with experience!

Comrades they only think he was killed before the car was "thrown" overboard. Maybe the murdered man pulled off an Houdini act. How in hell do you throw a 3000 lb car into a canal?

Mother Pratt was useless as the minister of national security. One of her first press releases was asking one of the most sought after drug lords by the United States if he was being looked after in Fox Hill. Apparently her administrative abilities are not much better with Urban Renewal.

Mother Pratt has a kind heart, but she was totally unsuited for the position, making her DPM was an insult to every Bahamian who expected a DPM would would be able to take over and manage a multimillion dollar economy at a moment's notice. Actually, it's much like the appointment of Perry Christie as PM today. An insult to us all.

Yes Mother Pratt did visit the Prison, The press took her picture by a certain prisoner cell. the President of the USA visited a prison also. You all can call me what ever you all wish. but you can not say I have not written the TRUTH. and that is all I care about.

The unusual thing about this matter is the killer(s) seem to have gone to great lengths to hide their deed and/or dispose of the body. Not like the drive by killings that have become some common, where persons are shot in their yard, the street, or cars and the body is left at the crime scene. Maybe the motive is different in this incident as most people believe the drive by shootings are mostly gang related or drug turf warfare.

I don't think anyone is rejoicing over the massive carnage that is going on in this country today. In fact many may be in shock or disbelief about what is happening and the fact that the country, collectively, and not just the current government and the previous, seem helpless to stop the murders and bring some sense of normalcy back to the country. Many have had the experience of receiving a call that a friend, family member, co-worker or loved one has been shot and killed and have experience going to the scene and witnessing the chilling reality of death, by some some cold-blooded, heartless animal. They have endured the torture of sleepless nights and endless nightmares and had to fight back the desire to seek revenge of keep other family and friends from doing so. And to absorb the hundreds of rumors that abound after each killing and not only having to go on with life and accept the fact that that person is gone forever, but also live with the reality that someone else close to them could be killed (in fact families have lost two, three and four males in the matter of months. This is no rejoicing matter. These are perilous times and so is the need to hit home to those in charge to do something..do something now! The division in the country is giving power to the criminals.

Intriguing observation, agree: this is not the typical drive-by killing.

The effort exerted to conceal the crime and dispose of the body suggests it's personal, and that the killer may be wracked with guilt?

Time will tell, won't it? A pleasure to read your comments.

The Bahamas is reaping exactly what it has sown over the years. It doesn't matter which political party is in power, for too long crime has been allowed to run rampant. It just now happens that now it is to far gone to be curbed.

It all started when they allowed the Privy Council to step in and eliminate capital punishment. Now people feel as though they can commit crimes and there is no real consequences to those actions. I would love to know what the Privy Council finds more heinous than murder.

Also when the amount of illegal activities such as gambling and high ranking officials taking bribes and embezzling continue to set precedent why would people feel as though they should respect any type of law. It's the little things that people were able to get away (such as driving lawless and reckless) that have now lead up to bigger things like murder.

Fact is The Bahamas is so far gone only drastic measures will even begin to redeem this country. And a good place to start is bringing back capital punishment and shutting down all the illegal gaming establishments.
