I bet there would be m SMHore comments if this happened in de back-a-town!!
At this point what is there to comment about except the lack of info given.
what a toilet you are.
Toilet is too nice a word to use on this asswipe
Sorry, I thought it was “if this stuff was happening in Tucker’s Town or Fairylands you’d hear a whole lot more complaining”???
What comments would you possibly expect people to say?
Why aren’t they saying what happened to her? If what I was told is true. SMH.
Was that comment really necessary?
Perhaps Råne’s comment wasn’t necessary, but I’d put money on that bet as well…
@ Rane and Dude. Crime happens everywhere and to all classes of people. There are areas on the island whereby they keep it to themselves or take care of business themselves. they almost never get caught. When they do get caught it is because someone pricked on them or the incident was discovered by a passerby. Condolences to the young lady’s family. Life is about choices so choose wisely.
Maybe its lack of details because this woman could be a visitor to our island and has to identification to contact next of kin, so no name, no age etc…
Or, because of the fact that investigations are critical, and the Bermuda rumour mill won’t help the BPS do their job effectively?
Yeah , like all the incorrect rumours and assumptions that were made the last time a body was found floating off of that neighbourhood.
Maybe a few of those dumb****s learned a lesson from that and they’re keeping their speculating mouths quiet this time .
Why are people so callous and rude,freedom of speech yes….. If you can’t say anthing positive keep it yourself. Continue to be amazed by some people.
Respectfully; I offer empathy to the victim, family & friends! Namaste…xo
Ditto !
@Dhameer, you are the person who commented on the fact that someone has lost their life. There is a family on our island grieving right now for the loss of this woman. Why does this stir such comments? Where is the humanity Bermuda?
I repeat your sentiments Dhameer. I hope the family find peace through their grieving.
So sad, RIP Ms. Fox
Loss of this nature is always more difficult as it is unexpected but God knows all and sees all, so may the strength of God be with the entire family and friends at this time and the weeks and months ahead.
@ Duane > Thanks Cousin. Aunt Sarah, now Fredericka….
I am very sorry to hear this news. I did not know Mrs. Fox, but in the time it took to release her name, I was running through people in my mind that I thought it could possibly be and I was devastated thinking of these possibilities. It is so devastating when it is a loved one that you know.
This is a terrible crime, if indeed it is a homicide, and I send my sincerest condolences out to Mrs. Fox’ family. My prayers are with you at this time.
too bad to read about Fredericka making her transition so early. my condolences to her family & loved ones
This is very sad, my thoughts go out to her family and friends.
I am sorry to hear about Fredricka and I would like to extend my sincere condolences to her family and friends. She was someone special to me.
I am going to miss this young lady who I met several years ago when I gave her a ride on a rainy day. She said “Wow! you are so nice” and during our travel we had such an interesting conversation that I took to this young lady.
She has definitely left her mark with me.
R.I.P. Fredricka

RIP Gurty!! Prayers and condolences to the family. What a shock!
A member of a family has passed on. Let’s be careful how we speak and write about others. Condolences to the family. God bless!
If you knew Freddie you would not be talking such crap. She was a friend of mine but mostly a human being. People you need to know the comments you make WILL come back to haunt for LADY KARMA never sleeps.
To the family I pray for your hearts and your minds to come to terms with this tragedy.
RIP FREDDIE from the first year graduates of Fairhaven.
RIP fredericka so sorry to hear.
