Police Rule Out Murder: Jahmeiko Perkins Death
[Updated with videos] The Bermuda Police Service held a press conference this afternoon [Aug.9] in reference to the death of Jahmeiko Perkins.
The police said a forensic pathologist flown in from Canada concluded Mr Perkin’s injuries were “consistent with a road traffic collision, and not circumstances that led him to find that this was a murder.”
Detective Chief Inspector Nicholas Pedro, Officer In Charge of the Serious Crime Unit, said: “It is the findings of the Forensic Pathologist that Mr. Perkins injuries are consistent with a road traffic collision, and not circumstances that led him to find that this was a murder.”
“Whilst I cannot comment further at this time because investigations are ongoing, the Bermuda Police Service is satisfied that Mr. Perkins did not die as a result of a beating or other form of assault.”
Detective Pedro continued on to say that, “The Bermuda Police Service is only too aware that the history of this particular location holds a lot of mystery for some people, and the fact that three people have lost lives & been found at the same spot will undoubtedly fuel some conspiracy theories.”
Detective Pedro said he cannot comment further as investigations are ongoing, which “may or may not point to the involvement of another vehicle being involved in a collision with Mr. Perkins.”
Watch the police statement below:
When asked if Mr Perkins died in that spot, Detective Pedro said, “There is nothing to suggest there is another location at this point. We know from previous experience this is a frequent accident spot. We have had numerous accidents at that location where people have lost their lives.”
Watch the Q&A below:
This past Saturday [Aug.6] 19-year-old Jahmeiko Perkins was found dead in the Parsons Lane, Devonshire area, with his body discovered by a passing female motorcyclist just west of the Pure Water facility.
After the discovery, police said the exact cause of death was not yet known, and officers from the Serious Crime Unit would be investigating the circumstances of his death, which was “being treated as suspicious.”
Detective Pedro’s full statement is below:
May I first start by offering my sincere condolences to the family & friends of Mr. Perkins, whose body was found on Parsons Lane, Devonshire at about 9:00am on Saturday 6th August, 2011.
The death of Mr. Perkins and the location of where he was found has been the subject of intense debate, innuendo, and speculation in some segments of the community.
The Bermuda Police Service is only too aware that the history of this particular location holds a lot of mystery for some people, and the fact that three people have lost lives & been found at the same spot will undoubtedly fuel some conspiracy theories.
From the very outset, the Bermuda Police Service treated this death as a potential crime. The scene itself was meticulously examined by Crime Scene Investigators & Detectives, and a Forensic Pathologist from Toronto, Canada was flown in to conduct the autopsy on Mr. Perkins.
Detectives also interviewed multiple friends, acquaintances, and people who saw Mr. Perkins during the course of Friday 5th August into Saturday morning. I can say that assistance from members of the public was excellent as officers attempted to piece together his movements.
Additionally, the scene was preserved by Officers since the discovery of Mr. Perkins through to today in order to ensure that the best evidence was obtained. Police Officers have maintained a physical presence at this location throughout.
This morning I personally met with the family of Mr. Perkins with the forensic pathologist, and they were provided with the initial findings of the autopsy in person. Whilst this is not normal practice for the Bermuda Police Service, we felt it important for them to hear first-hand how their loved one died.
In all the circumstances, it is the findings of the Forensic Pathologist that Mr. Perkins injuries are consistent with a road traffic collision, and not circumstances that led him to find that this was a murder.
Whilst I cannot comment further at this time because investigations are ongoing, the Bermuda Police Service is satisfied that Mr. Perkins did not die as a result of a beating or other form of assault.
I wish to be clear that the investigation continues, and this may or may not point to the involvement of another vehicle being involved in a collision with Mr. Perkins, and with that I will hand over to Inspector Phil Lewis, who heads up the Police Roads Policing Unit, and is also in charge of the specialist Traffic Collision Investigators Unit.
hummmmmm….okay then.
Glad to hear that he did not die by the hand of another but still sad to know that he died either way. My condolences to his family and friends. I know you all miss him, but hopefully, you will see him again in Heaven.
I find this very hard to beleive…
You and me both…
Now I know how 2 get away wif murder! Kill somebody n put a bike next 2 em!
THIS IS IT!!!!
That’s why the island is the way it is. Everyone gets away with everything. SMT
that’s clever, until your conscience ‘overtakes’ you! (no pun intended)
p.s., don’t put yourself on blast on bernews…..
You have to remember that some of these sick people have no conscience. They can kill without feeling any bit of remorse or regret. They are called sociopaths. Most of these young boys that are in these gangs are raised to be sociopaths and their parents dont know that they way they are raising them that way.
cosign^^
@Wateva, If you know something about this incident, you should contact the police.
There IS such a thing as vehicular manslaughter, which the law recognizes as a serious crime. And if this young man’s injuries were “consistent with a road traffic collision” and no accident report was filed at the time it happened by the party involved, that is what we call a “hit and run” – still murder. So how can the police and the forensic pathologist come to the conclusion that these were “not circumstances that led him to find that this was a murder”? Huh??
I agree…..when someone is hit by a car and it causes death that’s called vehicular homicide!!! OMG the Bermuda police couldn’t work outside BDA!! I hope that the family does not except this and just move on!! There is more to this story than meets the eye!
Why does it have to be another vehicle involved you’ve never heard of a single vehicle accident idiot. He could have decked out and killed himself.
I find it ironic that the same thing happened to someone else in the same location. Did he fly off his bike that far into the bush that no one saw him? This seems very strange. I would like to see for myself the evidence!
Because you’re a forensic expert?
No, beacause I wasn’t born yesterday!
Who is killing everyone at Crow Lane, cause they keep getting found in the same spot after allegedly hitting the same curb.. I do believe there were at least 3 of them last year and no one was around to witness what had happened in any of them. Their lifeless bodies were discovered by passing motorist. Kinda like the three on Parsons Ln
Your lying right?!
Sigh; Giving people more ideas.
They need to put more street lights & make them brighter.
They also need to add cameras, if they can do it on Court Street because its a hig risk area, they can surely add some in the area that 3 guys have been found dead. And its been made to look like it was a road fatality. I dont know if its me or the police that is becoming dopier everyday. I dont even know what to think anymore.
Get over it, he decked out and died.
@TSOL what the eff you mean get over it!!
I hope nothing happens to anyone in your family!!!!
Ya just as DUMB as BPS. STFU.
Probably works for them!
THIS IS SOME BULL SH*T!!!
This Islands is Crazy!!!!! >;/
People can jus get away wif Murder in this tiny ass island!!!
Mixitup what are you talking about? He didn’t fly so far into the bush that nobody saw him,he was found by a woman riding past… The rest of you lot trying to make it into a cover up, get over it. Do you know how many people would have to be in on that conspiracy if that were true? Doctors, nurses, police, coroner etc. so come on get your heads out of the sand. The young man had an unfortunate accident and let him rest in peace.
Another dumb one.
NO ONE had to be in on it for it to be a murder except the murderer(s). So what are YOU talking about?
There have been far bigger conspiracies that this buddy, umm 9/11 comes to mind. You can’t just beleive everything you read beacuse “The Authorities” say it.. Try taking YOUR head out of the sand!
Well either way the case is closed. So you can sit on here and type whatever you want in a few weeks this will be old news and like every other subject you will have moved onto the next conspiracy. Its funny how you people can come on here call everyone who doesn’t agree with you dumb. If you know so much why haven’t you given the info to the police so they can explore your claim. That road is pitched black and people fly through there all the time it is quite plausible for people to drive across him and not see him and that’s assuming it happened at night.
“There have been far bigger conspiracies that this buddy, umm 9/11 comes to mind.”
Nothing like a nutcase 9/11 truther to brighten the day! Hey, 9/11 conspiracy believer, the BS you and your ilk spew has been debunked so many times already. Let it go and stop living in a world of paranoia because your life lacks meaning and direction.
If the skid marks don’t fit…you must aquit.
Well, there was much trama to the body as per the patholigist so hopefully he did not suffer. What he was doing travelling that route at that time is mere speculation.
May his family feel comfort that he did not linger with pain.
Now lets move on.
AMEN …………………….
Who said he hit brakes or even slid out? Narrow road no light on a bend high speed and no brakes equals disaster.. They flew in a forensic expert!!! Is he/she making it up too?
Of course Dianne! The forensic expert is so obviously in on it! You know he had to be paid off! The BPS and the government are working hand in hand to cover up this murder of this 19 year old man! OMG! It’s all a conspiracy! /sarcasm
His bike got into a collision while riding, he decked out, and succumbed to his injuries. The forensic expert that was flown in conformed that his injuries were relative to a road traffic collision. The end. Tragic and sad.
Why is it that you are all looking for it to be a murder? The police said it was a road accident. Now all of a sudden, someone had to cause him to crash in a frequent accident spot. People are always so negative. The man died from a bike accident. Let his family move on and be in peace. Do not make things up because you are not happy with it. If God is happy with it, his family will be happy with it. Let go and Let GOD.
HOW the hell you know God is happy with it? Ya saying anything.
@somerset all de way ” God is happy!!! what does that mean? and you rumble on..then his family will be happy’ All I can say is ‘Father forgive this person for he does not know what he speaks of You” There is no happiness over some who dies and more so tragically……please!! May the family find comfort in family and close friends.
I am not saying that God is happy with this young man dying. I am saying that if the coroner said it was an accident and it really is an accident, then there is peace. I am sure God feels better to know that it was an accident than a murder. Why do you think I would say that God is happy that he died? I would not speak of God if I did not know him.
Your first sentence sums it up quite well, Somerset here’s my answer.
Frustration, the unknowns and uncertantcy,
So much is happening locally and globally that anytime something happens people jump to conclusions through the confusions.
We need more Johnny Barnes. Show me the stats of the accidents at the North Round-a-bout…..
Life slows down for a minute as we traverse this mad area and people reflect or give you the finger. Frustrating? Yes but you chose that route. Why not take an extra ten minutes after leaving home and just float around until you need to get your “Spot”.
Oh well……I have to finish a therome on why the sun is hot………………jingus…..seems simple to me. Then again, um nut frum dee curve…..
Well said, if you dont know shut it…if you feel you have all the answers then contact the police and give the info…to much of you make comments that you know nothing about….look afta your own..because you never know when it will happen to you! Stop speculating and let my family be at peace! Thank you!
Bermuda is the #1 country to jump 2 a conclusion, alot of people was saying it was a murder noooooooo why cant it just be a accident anything could have been in the middle of the road and he hit it or he was speeding like alot of guys do around orange valley. lord please be with his family during this time
You know why people are so convince it had to be more than just an accident because of who he was affiliated with “allegedly”. Because of the bad things his associates are involved in “allegedly” they automatically believe the chickens came home to roost. YOU KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT!
How many accidents/murders are going to take place in that dim area with no lighting or cameras??? Its no coincedence that 3 ppl from the same neighborhood/crew “as the media says GANG” that over a period of 6 years have been found in this neck of the woods in a 10 foot ditch, with their personal bike thrown in there with them, I’m sorry I will not accept and can not come to terms that we have again lost a young man to the hands over murder and being covered up as a bike accident… Talk to the people about the others and they will tell you the same thing their one was murdered and they covered it up as a road fatality.
People are insane.
the people who made the judgement are qualified to do so, much more qualified than most of “us”. What would be the rationale for saying it was an accident if it wasn’t? And this forensic pathologist is not Bermudian, so that argument about Bermuda Police Service doesn’t hold water.
It is likely an unfortunate incident.
Even if it was vehicular homicide, which could be a possibility, that is not murder. That is manslaughter. Murder signifies intent to kill. There obviously is no clear evidence of intent to kill.
Sometimes things just are. There is not always something sinister behind every situation.
Something is just not adding up!
How is it that 3 ppl, all of similar backgrounds have died in the exact same spot from “accidents” I find it very hard to believe that no one else has decked out in this spot if its supposed to be a frequent accident spot!
EXACTLY.
Exactly! Just because it has been “REPORTED” that the Coronor, doctors, nurses, and BPS have ruled this unfortunate and sad incident as an “accident” doesn’t mean it’s the TRUTH!!! Damn, another family left mourning due to a so called accident in this spot. SO MANY PPL NEVER WANT TO FACE THE FACTS, THEREFORE NEVER SEE THE TRUTH!Condolences to the family/friends of the young man.
I’m not tryin to say you are right or wrong, but could it be because these guys are the ones that travel through this area the most? I mean it is not a frequent area of travel and most people do not use that road at night. To me its similar that most accidents that happens in the end of spanish point is from residents of that area because it they are the ones who frequent that area.
Who is killing everyone at Crow Lane, cause they keep getting found in the same spot after allegedly hitting the same curb.. I do believe there were at least 3 of them last year and no one was around to witness what had happened in any of them. Their lifeless bodies were discovered by passing motorist. Kinda like the three on Parsons Ln. Maybe everyone else on Parsons Ln take their time. BTW there are accidents on that road regularly. Not every accident is a fatal one.
Well let’s just say he did skid out and get knocked unconcious not enough to kill him though, what chance is it that some1 was then waiting in that area and killed him b4 he woke up, not saying some1 killed him and staged an accident, but maybe some1 waits down there and deliberately puts an object in the road so the person can deck out then do them in afterwards, No chances of that hmmmm???? But number 1 question is why is it always some1 from the Parkside Gang that dies there? Why is it not some1 from 42 or Rubber Tree or MOB or East Side or South Side or Corrupt Town or Cedar Hill or Killa Hill the Gangs go on… But why is it always Parkside Gang members always thrown down there…. Just saying let’s think logical here…
Like a serial killer????
And thats the question thats on a lot of peoples’ minds…coincidence???? or is there something more sinister?? We cannot fault people for how they feel regardless of whether we feel that the person making the call is more professional or not to actually make that call. Same spot, same ditch….you be the judge…..The person that can tell you exactly what happened is no longer with us……May he rest in Peace…Prayers for the family…….
The family may be content with accepting the fact that he died in an acident and not murdered, perhaps it may make them feel a little better because of the lifestyle that he lived, BPS do your job and find out what really happen, sorry but I’m not buying this one
Sounds like they need you on board to redo the autopsy and to go over the scene. Not everyone who even if in a gang and is found dead is murdered. Aren’t you glad it’s not a murder. They said it was an accident , he did leve on his bike. It’s not like he walked to where he was found and then they found a strange bike near him. Noone heard anything , that’s probably because the faces were all up in the blackberries and everything else that’s a distraction. THE YOUNG MAN HAD AN ACCIDENT HE WAS NOT MURDERED.
Bermuda…yah talkin crap. Your just trying to incite.
The young feela lived in the area. He did not have a helicopter and thus used the roads in his area.
“puts an object in the road”……………….
Man your a complete yoo no what.
That would have to be premeditated and knowing what the person would do and where he was going and why.
Wow!!!!! Your saying it was a set up?
If you don’t what the hell you’re talking about TERRY!!!! Then shut the F&*K UP!!!!!!!!!!
For the record the person above is no ME meaning he does not regularly post under the name Truth be Told. I know it not easy to keep up with Pin names Bernews but I don’t want to be accused of a post that’s not mine.
NP. We just manually changed it, as that’s the only thing we can do…no way to track as such.
Thanks Bernews your the best.
You all are going on like you know it’s a murder and it’s being made to look like an accident. I say the only way you can say this is DID ONE OF YOU KILL HIM. Let the brother REST In PEACE. As for it being a Parkside guy, isn’t that one of the closest areas to the site, there are only so many roads to travel on. This is like the wrong way accident in the States about 2 years ago where the guy couldn’t accept the fact that alcohol was found in his wife’s body. If a mistake has been made , there is another judge for this and no wool can be pulled over his eyes.
Yeah @ AWAY like a Serial Killer type of Motive thing, @ Terry and what makes u think it canthappen be real and think logical same people/person doing it maybe just from the same crew as them “Parkside” Same Hitman persay or even ask them to meet you there for a transaction to take place who knows, I have been asked to meet some1 down there and did it didn’t feel comfortable and felt a presence while I was there but that’s my personal oppinion cause I felt a presence doesn’t mean u will, and not only is it a hotspot for murder its a hotspot period for smoking weed… @ Terry yeah like a set up, and the more we shut about it the easier it is to cover it up speak ya mind that’s what this chat is for coerect, I thought so, and let’s keep in mind on this same page it states Police shoot n kill Dog on Court Street aka Jameiko Perkins Dog
People need to know what they are talking about before they post comments publicly! Not everything you hear or see on the news is the truth. “Injuries are consistent with a road traffic collision, and not circumstances that led him to find that this was a murder” but the accident scene is NOT consistent with that of an “accident”. It leaves one to wonder which side the “police” are on. Another family left to mourn and another “coward” left to brag about his doings. 3ppl in almost the exact same spot no road rash, bikes with minimum or no damage and its called an accident…..only in Bermuda.
You’e watching too much CSI. What exactly is an accident scene consistent with that of an accident, this was not a tv show where it was acted out and had to be done over and over for the accident to look like one. What happened happended, reality no do overs. Let the yound man rest in peace
CSI? haha no its my real life! i seen that scene from the first person who had an ‘accident’ there. know what your talkin about before you make you ignorant inconsiderate comments. and FYI they cant rest in peace cause there will b no JUSTICE and neither can the familys have a peace of mind because these fools are still FREE. put a damn sock in it
@ Terry even though the young man lived 6 football feilds away which is not close but going or leaving in the direction from his home either way he had just went cross his house or went all de way round to get to his house while family members were waiting for him to return to a party closer to the city since what 9 o’clock pm the night before look at the evidence they have provided so far, that accident was not en route to his home it was far away from his family home either way you look at it he already crossed his house…
Bermuda, thats my point. We have no idea what the members of the party have told Police. We have no idea why he left and/or where was going, and why.
The rest is mere speculation.
So let’s be real check out the link “Police Shot and kill dog on Angle Street” May 27th on this same website with comments to follow 2 1/2 months later he is found dead, WOW that just happens, or is it happening!!! I hope it don’t happen again, keep in my this is Parson Lane it happen on not Parsons Road Orange Valley is far away from were any one hangs from any gang its pure Bush
He left the party on his own free will, it is not as if he was dragged from it and then turned up dead some where.
So now the police killed him? Shooting the dog was not enough?? So they went to finish the job??
Comeon you are really starting to sound crazy. Let me guess George Bush blew up the World Trade Center and not Bin Laden supports right??
I really do not know what to think but reading the above statement I have to point out a few things(not in any order):
1. In all the circumstances, it is the findings of the Forensic Pathologist that Mr. Perkins injuries are consistent with a road traffic collision, and not circumstances that led him to find that this was a murder. (ok now this seems like they are certian)
HOWEVER……………………
2. “Whilst I cannot comment further at this time because investigations are ongoing” – (Ok this I do not understand, if the above statement is true what “further investigations” are required that they cannot comment. Really makes one wonder.
3. The scene was preserved by Officers since the discovery of Mr. Perkins through to today in order to ensure that the best evidence was obtained (in my opinion) because of the follwing statement: and this may or may not point to the involvement of another vehicle being involved in a collision with Mr. Perkins.
OK… but if you read all point 1 & 2 then 3 again something doesn’t sound right. Only going off the information that was provided for us the public to view.
For once you bloodthirsty suckers insatiable appetite for the gorey goes unquenched …
Well said “shut Yo Mouth”……
Can you add anything at all or is it just your “insatiable appetite” thats keeps you posting…..
Well according to you all who find it hard to believe that three people could end up dead in the same spot. There’s been more than three on east broadway coming out of town…..so wow we better catch that person too then. Never mind the fact that if an area is dimly lit with someone doing a decent speed they can crash or over run the road……but that’s too easy. In either case The Lord knows what happened, and not all the time do we have to know why things happen in life. If the Lord said this happened because ………..I bet the next question would still be why followed by another why? There are many things we have no control of, one is when we are born, and the other is when we die, suicide being an exception. May God comfort his family in their time of mourning.
Like I said “East broadway” people are ENTITLED to think how they feel and want…apologies in advance if their thought process is not the same as yours…Maybe the police need to rethink or rephrase how they have presented their findings as how it has been presented if you read and listen carefully does leave room for speculation…….
this gonna be hard to believe we all know he didnt die from no accident!! 3 accidents same spot? be for fu
The Young and the Restless.
Bermuda circa…2011…………….
BULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL YOU FIND 3 PEOPLE IN THE SAME SPOT SAME WAY?? WHO KILLED EM JESUS??? LETS B REAL!
AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED BY ANOTHER WRITER RE- CORKSCREW HILL – SEVERAL FATALITIES.
Yes but it didn’t take 3 days for the police to seclude the area of the accidents and then “decide” that those accidents were indeed accidents hmmmmmm
PERHAPS YOU NEED TO JOIN THE FORCE SO THET CAN GET IT RIGHT.
Maybe they went the extra mile to prove without a doubt that it was not a murder investigation. The police officers are not dumb and they know it is suspicious and that the public is going to come up with specualations. I bet that is why they brought in a Canadian forensic pathologist instead of using their own. I’m just saying!
Maybe there were witnesses to them????????
@ Chioke….recognise that each and everyone is entitled to their opinion as you seem to be commenting on everyones comment that is not in agreement to yours….at the end IF it was an accident cut and dry then the Polce comment would have elluded to that, case closed..however it is still being investigated and they are asking for witnesses to come forward if they saw another vehicle/persons in that area acting suspiciously….if it was just an accident why are they looking for another possible vehicle? if it was just an accident and it did involve another vehicle why hasnt that person come forward….if there in fact was another vehicle and before you get your knickers in a twist I did say IF than that would be considered vehicular manslaughter which may not be outright murder but is still a form of murder none the less….there are still unanswered questions and open ended answers will therfore lead to speculation….allow others to voice their opinion without fear of reprimand just as you’ve been allowed to voice yours….
the only thing that may possibly change is that it was an accident that may have been caused by another party , intentionally or a true accident and they left the scene. charges – hit and run , vechicular manslaughter and the failure to report an accident, leaving the scene of an accident. his cause of death will be recorded as an accident.
If you speak to family members of some of the young males who have died to road fatalities, they will tell you that they know it was not just an accident and involved another vehicle and some guys are in fact scared to ride because they know of the possibility of some crazy attacker trying to kill them. Now we people that believe that this was not just some normal accident are not crazy. Its just that 3 affiliates of Parkside dying in the same spot, with a motor vehicle is a bit strange and rings alarms. These guys know that people are after them, so going through a long dark road is not really common for them to go at some hour in the morning. And even if it was just an “accident” who is to say that this boy was not being chased and lost control? I still call that murder because that was the attackers intentions.
And with BPS doing a good job of collecting a few guns off the streets this year, these so called “gangsters” may have started looking for other ways to kill, you never know, ust saying.
who are the others that died there? i am curious
one person i remember died in a strange kind of accident off corkscrew hill and went through the bus shelter at crow lane. someone could have been chasing him. that was freaky .
Check the archives…their names were mentioned in other post relating to Jameico’s accident
What is beyond bizarre is that more traffic passes Cork Screw Hill/East Broadway in 5 minutes than what passes on Parson’s Lane in a whole day and it’s an ‘accident hotspot’ of almost the same proportion ? ? ?
THIS IS SOME SH%T BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY GETTING MAD BECAUSE HE WAS NOT MURDERED. IN ANY OTHER CASE YOU ACCEPT THE FORENSIC EXPERT’S CONCLUSION AS TO THE CAUSE OF DEATH. WHY NOT NOW. ACCIDENTS WERE ONCE THE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH OF OUR YOUNG MEN AND HAVE BEEN TAKEN OVER BY MURDERS RECENTLY. JAMEIKO DIED BECAUSE OF INJURIES FROM AN ACCIDENT.
No onee is getting mad intentionally; We just Believe that there is more to it, then just an accident. You have your opinion, & we have ours. Do you not expect most of the community to believe it was murder. The things that we have been dealing with for the past few years, its kinda hard to Believe that is just an accident. Just how you want us to understand you, try and understand us…
Chioke you seem to be the only one on here taking it personal and getting mad (using caps) take it easy…this is an open forum..”stay out of the kitchen if you can’t handle the heat……..
i can handle all the heat and no i am not taking it personal. the experts spoke , accept the conclsion.
wtf is a concision??
conclusion mr perfect bernard
IS THAT ALL YOU CAN BRING TO THE CONVERSATION A SPELLING ERROR I MADE AND WTF. WOW I’M IMPRESSED @ bernard
You are taking it personal..your responses speak volumes….as far as the experts having spoken..they are not perfect and have been wrong before…..and in reference to the corkscrew accident…the being chased theory was put out there along with the call made prior to the accident..but the EXPERTS said otherwise….hmmmmmm
Well the experts have spoken and yes they can be wrong before I am sure but that is what is going down as the cause of death. If they’re wrong we may never find out out. If someone did this or caused this, it’s on them . They and all of us have to answer to the biggest judge, our God
For those that are saying it was merely a bike accident, where did they say a bike was at the scene? Did I miss something? Wouldn’t they have said from the beginning it was a road fatality if his bike was banged up next to him? My understanding is his body was found in a ditch and police at first needed an autopsy to determine the cause of death which would lead me to believe a bike was not found at the scene. Please enlighten me.
An autopsy would have been be done regardless which is done in any sudden death, bike or no bike. And i bike was found near by.
They did say a bike was at the scene.
You all have some issues. How is it that you are more expert than the forensic pathologist? C’mon, are you that cynical that you don’t beleive anything.
It was an accident, let the man rest in peace and stop trying to look for trouble where there is none.
Install brighter lights and a camera or put the skid resistant pavement (i think it is red) in the area. Condolences to the family; losing a loved one is a very difficult thing to deal with whatever way it happens.
I have travelled along this area many many times…the road is way too narrow; there are branches hanging out into the road, loose rocks at the edge of the road, cars and trucks travelling from the opposite direction taking up the WHOLE road (at speed, I might add)…I try to avoid driving along here as much as possible, because I find it a dangerous stretch. I drive a very small car, and will pull in my wing mirrors before turning down the road here…and STILL had my car grazed by a bloody great Kia Sportage (surprise!) doing about 50mph along the road…
It’s a bad stretch of road no matter how you slice it. I’m sorry this young man had to find it out the hard way. Condolences to his family.
If you conspiracy theorists believe all that then check out the other frequent accident spots around, we may have a racist gang knocking people off their bikes.
As for the Parkside affiliation, maybe the road is helping us since everyone is afraid of them.
Just got a BB from Orange Valley Road; and it reads………
Parkside began on Parsons Road, Parsons lane is putting an end to them.
Lets test the theory….if someone from Parkside is chasing you, drive to parsons Lane, lets see if they will turn around!!!
ooooooooooooohhhhhhh
LMAO! Yes, comment of the day!
lol
Perhaps if this young man had a good reputation to begin with there wouldn’t be so much speculation as to what really happened, and people would accept the fact that it was just a bike accident. It’s unfortuante that his life was taken at such a young age, regardless of how he died. May his family take comfort in the Lord to get them through this difficult time & May he R.I.P
His reputation has nothing to do with the anything I’ve posted. He was found dead, it was checked out and the cause of death reported. It’s all the CSI and forensic wanna-bes jumping to conclusions. The only opinion that counts in the end for his tragic end is the experts and they have spoken. Jahmeiko R.I.P .
The point you’re missing is the road was closed for 3 days…it still hasn’t been named the whatever # road fatality of the year AND investigations are still ongoing.
No one WANTED it to be a murder, but something just seems REALLY fishy to me & yes, background IS playing a role; whether you want it to or not.
@Chioke, unfortunately his reputation would have everything to do with it, if he was just the normal average good kid then it would be easier for people to believe that it was just a bike accident, if this kid was a shady character, and I’m not saying he was because I do not know him, people would perhaps question if this was indeed an unfortuante bike accident or was it cause by another person intentionally
Hmmmm…Can actually understand why people are not buying this police theory as if anyone read it carefully and as Totally Disgusted point out…the dots are not connecting.
However, what if:
1. The Police are only issuing this statement so that it can blow over while they work undercover? Because sometimes, when it comes to crime and criminals, the best way to smoke someone out, is to let him believe that they have won the game and then wait for them to make the same mistake again…unfortunately
2. What if the Police are just as confused as some of us and think the best way to go about this, is to call it an accident base on what they can see for now.
3. To me the general consensus here is that many people commenting on this story, knows something, but (I may be wrong here) won’t tell the police jack because then one or two things will happen, they will get implicated or they will be called fools.
So if the conspiracy theories are true, who is covering up what and why? Is someone being paid off to turn a blind eye to this??
Anyway, as with many issues, sometimes those in power thinks it is best not to scare the masses and the less the pubic knows the better for everyone…but you can fool some of the people some of the time, but can’t fool all the people all the time.
Do I know anything, NO! Just reading the news and comments and reading between the lines.
So when will lights be placed in this area??? As said above, and I quote, “The Bermuda Police Service is only too aware that the history of this particular location holds a lot of mystery for some people, and the fact that three people have lost lives & been found at the same spot will undoubtedly fuel some conspiracy theories.”
So I say again, where and when in the F3cking Hell will the lights be put up??!!!
Okay…My thing is, This is the third death of this type in the SAME area…Why not put some lights up or cameras up for that matter!! Im just sayin…
My take is that it was an unfortunate accident. Yes it is suspicious that 3 people from the same area have died in the same location. But one cannot cry out murder with no evidence. Could it be possible that these guys are the ones that travel through this area the most? I mean it is not a frequent area of travel and most people do not use that road at night. All I am saying do not cry out murder with no proof. I am sure your accusations are causing the family unnecessary grief.
the police are lying …..so it was a bike there now ok,,, iheard the way the bike was damaged he was probly rammed from behind
cops would make perfect serial killers
OMG well said!!! Its strange how at least two of three had some form of altercation with the police only weeks before dying in a highly speculative manor! So who better to “preserve” the crime scene which promotes the perfect opportunity for them to possibly clean and clear evidence for their “partners”. And for those of you who are in denial, the police are the ones who can get away with activities in a legal fashion that the rest of us unaffilated law abiding citizens would do crap load of time for if it were us. And before you run with the bull by the tail, no I am not affiliated, connected or other to any of these young men, just both academically and street wise educated to the BS of the BPS!!!
road closed to long if just that,, wat were they cleaning up or hiding?
Has anyone read about any vehicles that was associated with this incident. The young man died from what they say “consistent with a road traffic collision”. It don’t even mention it as being a single vehicle accident. Is something being hidden? My condolences to the family and friends.
Didn’t realize that we had so many Bernews readers that were forensic pathologists, what would he/she gain in lying about the findings? too many of you just want some sh*t to gossip about… SMH
Guessing you are of those that eat up n absorb everything that comes out of the BPS’s mouths!????
THIS IS JUST TOOO BAD
Like many ppl who have commented, I do have some doubts over this unfortunate accident, similarly based on what others have mentioned, such as other parts of the Island have far more frequent fatalities in the same location, ie: East Broadway/Crow Lane/Corkscrew Hill, but yet the 3 deaths on Parsons Lane have all been connected by association. However, without knowing the facts or circumstances surrounding Mr. Perkins death, we can only assume the “what if’s”.
Mind you, my question now is, “What happens if there’s another ‘accident’ in that same location on Parsons Lane?”…hmmmmm
Firstly, these comments, although I’m sure meant in the best way, are distateful and ill timed. The family of this young man, who lost his life so suddenly (murder or accident) are grieving.
Its only right to assume that someone who knows this young man is now susceptible to your comments.
Now is not the time Bermuda. If you feel there is valid evidence and reason that this man’s death has been misrepresented as an accident, you need to share that information with the Bermuda Police Service.
Its funny to think all you top cops, whose only training has been watching Law & Order SVU have so much to share ON BERNEWS
Wow!!!
I do feel for the victims family! And indeed hope he rest in peace!
However, this article rattles me a little too much! They seem to be jumping all over the place with this situation! Few things jump out at me, and I have to agree with a few others that have already mentioned them! (My opinion of course, not tryna step on toes)
They block the road for 3 days! Why? This hasn’t been done before to this extent, or am I wrong? 3rd young person found in almost the same area within a few years of each other? (Strange isn’t it?!) As I said, some others have mentioned the other issues that popeed out to me, – still investigating, ruling of incident, and a few other! Also what jumps, why did the police let the family meet and talk to the pathologist? If this is NOT NORMAL routine, WHY did this occur? Did they do it for the other accident victims? Or anybody for that matter? (Jus wondering/asking)
Another young life lost to the roads (however it occured – accident) RIP
There should’ve been more than one Froensic Pathologist. Fair test?
Usually when we hear of an accident in the news, there are pictures posted of the
accident scene. Something just seems kind of fishy to me.
This is some bull crap I don’t believe that.People are smart nowadays they made it seem like an accident like the other two deaths in that area ask the young people thay know all about it
At the end of the day we may never know the truth..As I posted earlier the only person that can tell us exactly what happened is no longer with us (may he rest in peace)..as far as comments being insensitive, ill timed etc..I don’t think anyone is meaning to inflict any pain on those that know jahmeico (family, friends etc) This is an open forum and people are going to express their feelings……If you read each comment with an open mind there are certainly things that make you say hmmmm? and rethink what you have been told….whether we want to admit it or not it APPEARS to be more to the situation than meets the eye!!!
The circumstances and police reports seem to not coincide !! was this young man chased to his death?
Did it not look like a road accident from jump?? Why did they think it was foul play at first?
VERY FISHY!!!
Maybe it does seem like an accident to them, however, the statement leaves room for questions and it doesn’t take at Forensic Pathologist to figure that out.
