Double Murder ‘These things don’t happen randomly’

01/05/2025 the island saw yet another shooting, described as ‘indiscriminate’ gun fire that claimed the lives of two people and left 3 others injured in a bar of 14 patrons.

Seemingly, the police do not believe this was a ‘random event’.

Reprisals appear to be anticipated – such is Bermuda’s history of gun violence.

Once again, the public are asked to assist to ensure the event does not feature as yet another of Bermuda’s unsolved crimes; a further triangle mystery.

A transcript of the Bermuda Police Press Conference of the double murder can be read here.
