I formally request that the Tribune, Guardian, Punch and Bahamas Press list the names of the murdered at the end of the year. Every one of these "journalistic" arms record a different count- which says a lot about the press in this country- and just so we are clear - it is nothing good. Is it 82, 84 or 86? How hard is it to have a unified number of the dead?

Dear Commissioner- assign Marlon James's novel A History of Seven Killings to every member of the RBPF to read. That novel- set in Jamaica in the 1970s - describes where we are. it opens with the story of young men used as hitters who once they have committed their murders are then killed by their bosses. why? to further distance the murders committed- from those that ordered the hit, cutting off their only connection to it- and because the young men are viewed as disposable by those in control. I don't know whether these 2 deaths are linked to the Monday deaths but two people were killed by two men and now two men are dead. do the maths

Electronic monitoring only says where you are NOT what you are doing! Seems like a waste of time to me!

No matter what, these fellows are going to find who they want to kill, wherever they are. Young men that have fallen through the cracks of our society. They wanted to have a referendum for the rights of Bahamian women ( like anybody can keep Bahamian women back). What they need is a referendum to save these young men, they are the most vulnerable (and the most dangerous) people in this society.

So word is that one of the victims of this incident is related to the male that was killed on Monday morning. So is the commissioner of police or the police spokesman going into 2019 with their ‘tired and worn out speech, usually delivered of the still warm, but dead body of a murdered victim, that the victim was a prolific offender and a person known to police?’ When will these officers stop baiting the public with ignorance and understand that it is the polices’ duty to keep every citizen safe and murder of a criminal or even a wanted man is still bloody murder. And rather than appearing as if to engage in ‘active policing ‘. The commissioner or any police spokesman should ensure that any crime, especially murder, committed in this country will be taken seriously and ALL pepetrators of crime, especially murder, will be hunted down, to the four corners of the earth and brought to justice. Swiftly. And rather than issuing a grey message about prolific offenders, the police should warn the public against engaging in vigilante justice or taking matters into their own hands. Murder is murder and the police should also warn young men against joining gangs or engaging in gang activities.

The police always say it so the general population does not freak out about the level of crime. The whole system has basically collapsed, you have people out on the streets who have been charged with murder 5 years ago. Whilst i don't agree with people being locked up whilst awaiting a trial if it takes that long, they need to ensure that the trial happens within a short time, during which the person can be locked up (say withing a month of them being charged).
