Let's hope these two young Bahamians, with their travel ties to Port-au-Prince, Montreal and Turin, were not in anyway connected with the nefarious trafficing activities of one of the leading organized crime syndicates based in Montreal. Dumping beat-up corpses in rivers without bothering to weigh them down is a very characteristic way for mafiosa families to send a clear message to others who might be thinking about crossing them. If these deaths somehow involved a mafiosa family in Montreal or Turin, the Italian police in Turin will want the deaths swept under the rug as quickly as possible because they too are known to have close ties to several of the major mafiosa families. I hope I'm not right about any of this, but there are too many dots here that can be all too easily connected for the worse.

The mafia is Sicily not Turin. . .

Don't be so ignorant. Obviously you've never heard of the Great Gretzky of criminal organizations - Alphonso Caruana. Although Alphonso was put behind bars in Italy by a Turin Judge, his crime family remains alive and well in both Montreal and Turin.

Obviously nothing suspicious here, with an apparent cover up by Italian police, right?

Well_mudda_take_sic is a profound idiot who writes a bunch of non-sensical garbage, adding nothing to the conversation. What a bunch of "Croc" .

Your thoughts might come across more clearly if you refrained from writing in Morse code. And all-capital letters, which is impolite and referred to on the internet as SHOUTING. Respectfully meant ... thank you.

I knew these men. They worked for me durring their undergraduate days. They were both brilliant individuals who in my judgment were not capable of nefarious "mafia" involvment. The idea is ludicrous. They had everything to live for and their trajectory in life was exceptional. They had no need to be involved in crime. This reeks of robery and murder. So sad.

Mr. Bogart, If your goal is to be ignored, you are on the right path.

HAVE ... A NNNICCE .... DAYYY ... YINNAAA ... ??? ... !!!

THANKS for jeering me...
I likes to look up to y'all..erry last one.....some actually perfectly educated....poised......some not...impediments......an we pore ghetto uneducated downtrodden, wretched.......

The fact that they were both found in a river. Is suspicious, It is not a consident

Could it be lovers quarrel , or one jumping in to commit suicide and the other jumping in to try to rescue him and both drowning ,, be interesting to know the current and rocks in the river

No, idiot

Thanks for calling me a name , right now its just speculation . Notice my first sentence said it could be . You have no more proof of what happened then I do . It could be a number of things . Do you always go right to name calling and insults during a discussion ??

Careful with your speculations...they are deleting comments that even suggest this may be motivated by homosexuality.

COMMENTS.....are usually placed as SOCRATIC Irony to bring out responses ...to continue and to find out da learned aint dat learned....the responses certify. Agreed wid ya that there are these speculations diversion from tragic sad heart story.

This article and the subsequent comments are a microcosm of everything that is wrong with the Bahamas.
First you have a "journalist" writing a headline of such stupidity. What a mother, 5,000 miles away from an event that tragically killed her son, "believes" in her heart-break moments is of course totally subjective, completely irrelevant and can bear no relation to reality. While we should all sympathise with her grief, we should be aware that no sense can come out of her mouth at this moment. So, why report it? Complete lack of professional standards. As in everything else that happens in the Bahamas. Everyone is a self-appointed something: the preacher is a bishop, the hack who can't write two sentences in English is a journalist. Bahamian professional standards in a nutshell.

Then you get to see the comments and they are such inane bullshit that they show the state of mind of the population. A collection of sub standard IQs prone to conspiracy theories with about as much logic to them as a 3 year old could muster.
Only logical advice a father could give his sons is to run away from here as quickly and early as possible. An early death in the Po is preferable to a life here.

Has literally ZERO to do with "the Bahamas".

Interviewing relatives friends family members is a common practice worldwide. With the aim being to find out IF they know what could have happened. I doubt the reporter asked the mother if she could solve the case. She reported what the mother said. Also common practice.

As to the general populace, It is a human thing to ask "Why", no amount of wealth or education will change that. If someone in old fort bay disappeared under mysterious circumstances, youd be right to the 2acre wall or the country club Sunday tea talking to your neighbour about what "could" have happened.

Literally nobody with blood running through their veins says "not talking about it until the coroner's report comes out". That's disingenuous.

To OldFort2012: I think we can now safely assume you don't actually live in the wealthier Old Fort gated community. If you did, you would have the financial means to take action consistent with your anti-everything Bahamas sentiment and move to another country to live. But what do we Bahamians know. Perhaps you've borrowed enough from your local bankers to be owned by them and therefore must stay planted in a country with people that you obviously have great disdain for. LMAO

Whatever happened with the guy that was found (apparently) beaten to death on someone’s lawn? What is the history behind that murder and was anyone ever arrested?

Ahh...read?

"*POLICE are still awaiting the results of a toxicology report as rumours persist over the mysterious death of British national Dannie Lea.*"

"*Superintendent Joy Bosfield told The Tribune an autopsy revealed his cause of death was from complications related to heart failure.*"

Read further where it says there were bruises on the body

The comments on this post and ones subsequent confirms every Bahamian male is an endangered species. The enemy is about to kill and destroy.

In the vast majority of cases its us killing us..and no John I do not believe it is a CIA plot whenever someone guns down someone in Nassau over drugs ,gangs or someone get roach .If the U S wanted the Bahamas all they would have to do is stop their citizens visiting , like Cuba .In a year we would be building rafts and hope the wind and current took us to the U S

So if you don’t believe it’s a CIA plot then why did you mention it? You prolly one of dem dutty agents.

Hmm more proof of the dunning kruger effect

Whatever happened to the Lyforf Cay resident who killed her husband? Is she still running wild and FREE? Or has she been returned to Fox Hill?

The dunning kruger effect is real . lol

It's indeed unfortunate many younger Bahamians today know little about the very seedy circles within which Fweddy 'Kruger' Mitchell has always lived under cover of night. I know I wouldn't want any of my sons any where near Fweddy Boy. LMAO

Ah ... Dunning-Kruger Effect ... a theory that is proved correct daily on the internet, and on discussion boards like this one.

Yes it is

No one in the Bahamas has ever had more of a mental superiority complex than Fweddy Boy....he's the consummate pseudo-intellect! Fweddy Boy still thinks he's God's gift to the Bahamian people and, as such, is destined to one day become PM of the Bahamas. Those who know him well laugh heartily behind his back. ROWL

This affair goes deeper than you think. The Italian Police were crafting a narrative to suit their motives and having little interest to investigate the deaths. The cause of death is described as drowning....the unanswered question is "who drowned them"? This is murder of our brothers and the F...king Italians know it. Why are these Cocksuckers covering up murders? I'm convinced that race was a factor!

And your crafting a narrative to fit your bias .You have no more factual knowledge of what happened then the man in the moon .The investigation and autopsies are on going .The Italian police have not released there findings yet !!
