have any new information on the case other than the initial suspect’s release from custody last month. “We welcome hearing from them more,” she said of the police’s efforts to find her brother’s killer. “As you know, every day there’s a murder or something else happening, and as a family, we just want to keep Geovani’s matter because it’s still an ongoing investigation, and for us, his remaining number 57 is not acceptable.” SEE PAGE THREE

Last week, Mr Mitchell dismissed the opposition’s calls for a commission of inquiry or for international law enforcement agencies to investigate the allegations. “Our friends in the FNM always have this knee-jerk reaction to call in foreigners to clean up the mess,” he said. “But we may say this: this is The Bahamas. When we accepted
the responsibility of independence, we took on the responsibility of managing and solving our own problems. “The police have been read the riot act. The reputation of the force and the confidence of the Bahamian people in the force rides on the ability of its managers to navigate these issues with justice, equity, SEE PAGE THREE
