Why is it so hard for the government to deal with this problem? A healthy dose of real fear ought to come into play for these killers. One reason why we have all these killings I feel is because criminals don't fear the justice system in the Bahamas. They know if they are caught the spend some time in prison and then released. Even if they get life its not a problem.
I feel if the government kicked in some fear, the criminal element may think twice before doing such serious crimes.
For example, a person is found guilty of man slaughter in the First degree and no death sentence can be given? Then the person should be whipped 25 times full strength, with the cat-9 tail. In addition to this persons convicted of such crimes should be cut of from the general population and placed on an island where harsh labor is given until the end of their sentence.
