Murder of Frederick Maybury
Mon, 2010-06-14
Assistant Commissioner of Police Paul Wright - On behalf of the Commissioner of Police and members of the Bermuda Police Service I express condolences to the family and friends of Frederick Maybury.
The murder of Mr. Maybury represents the 6th death caused by gunfire in Bermuda this year (2010), while an additional 12 persons have been injured. (2009 = 4 people killed by gunfire & 13 people injured).
I acknowledge and share the concern felt throughout our community about the current frequency of gun crime. The top priority of the Bermuda Police Service is ‘Making Bermuda Safer’ and I know the community is well informed on the seriousness of the current crime problems and strongly supports the role that the men and women of the Bermuda Police Service are performing.
