Murder probe

AN MP is calling on residents to unite in the fight against drug dealers after a man who was attacked in a notorious drug-dealing neighbourhood died on the corner of Glebe Road and St. Monica’s Road, Pembroke.

Police say he had been involved in a fight and had severe head injuries. Twelve officers have now been assigned to what has become a murder investigation.

MP Ottiwell Simmons, who co-chairs the St. Monica’s Mission Community Action Group with Social Services Minister Nelson Bascome, acknowledged that he had no idea if the beating that led to Mr. Goring’s death was drug related, but he said it’s no secret that’s what the area has become known for.

He said: “I’m aware, as everybody else is, that there’s too much drug trading going on in the area where this incident took place.

Mr. Simmons appealed to all the drug dealers to stop selling in the St. Monica’s area. “We want to reclaim this area as a good neighbourhood,” he said.

The Assistant Commissioner of Police, Carlton Adams, held a press conference  appealing for help. He said very little was known about Mr. Goring, who is believed to have originated from Dominica.

Bermudapolicerecord is not a official Bermuda Police web site but independently maintained.  However, the diary entries are an accurate representation of former Detective Constable 217's daily diary of activities on the island's of Bermuda from 1988 to 1991.  The officer probably had the highest arrest and conviction record on the island.  However, he was eventually the subject of unsubstantiated petty allegations in respect of which the island's police service, in breach of its own disciplinary regulations, did not hold a disciplinary hearing.  Instead, the then Commissioner of Police Clive Donald, declined to renew the officer's contract.  For further information, please follow the links: Complaint / Subverted & Betrayed / Back-Stabbing
