Doesn’t this person also look like the man/woman that was involved in the disturbance at Serpentine Liquors a while ago? Kinda petite and wearing a blue-ish purplish rain suit? Definitely similar to the incident at Woody’s – for sure.
Certainly looks like it!

Should show us a short clip or something from the CCTV maybe someone could recognize this persons walk or something
Nothing but a coward and cold blooded murderer who deserves the death penalty, sorry to say that but when you have no regard whatsoever for another human being why should I get up and go to work to pay for them to have a roof over their head and three meals a day. get rid of the scum
Bermuda won’t have a death penalty unless the British Gov’t reinstate the death penalty in the UK
QUESTION – WE HAVE “EXPATS’ WORKING IN INSURANCE, CONSTRUCTION, HOTELS…ETC…WHY CAN’T WE HIRE SOME “SEASONED” COPS FROM THE US THAT HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH MURDER CASES!!! IM CONFUSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Because that would be a complete waste of money. Use your head. There is no problem with the BPS making arrests or presenting evidence. The problem is no witnesses will come forward and help to pin charges on the suspected murderers.
PEACE will come… but not today.
Jail time in Bermuda should be made such that would be offenders think twice before taking a life! Send them to a jail in a third world country!
I know for a fact the police have another name cause the fool was out n about last night come police.
Come on police
