After a spate of murders over the weekend, senior officers of the Royal Bahamas Police Force conducted walkabouts and updated members of the media on their investigations into the slayings.
According to Officer in Charge of the Criminal Investigations Department Chief Superintendent Michael Johnson the incidents are related. “We have several persons in custody that we are speaking with and we are seeing how far that goes. If there is evidence they will be brought before that court,” he said.

He said, “the two persons were just south of where I am sitting in a yard when they were approached by gunmen who opened fire and shot. The second victim is still detained in hospital.
