Police charge suspect in drug-related murder

Murder suspect Clinton Forbes (grey and white striped shirt) heads to court

Nassau, BAHAMAS- A murder suspect is behind bars after detectives closed an investigation into a fatal shooting in Mars Bay, Andros.

Clinton Forbes, of Mars Bay, Andros, is charged with the drug-related shooting of Calvin Harrison-Rolle on April 1.

Police found his bullet-riddled body near a park in the settlement.

Prosecutors allege that Forbes killed the deceased over stolen drugs.

Forbes, whose street name is Gun, did not enter a plea to the murder charge when he made his initial court appearance on April 7.

As a result, Forbes was denied bail and returns to court on July 2.

At that time, prosecutors intend to fast-track his case to the Supreme Court by a voluntary bill of indictment.

Ian Cargill represents Forbes.

  1. I honestly think that our police needs to practice deescalation in some cases, due to the fact that Bahamians are facing dire hardship from what’s happening, however, their knee jerk reactions to any kind of hostilities coming from the police needs to be ignored, not to mention Bahamians suppose to have freedom of speach in a democracy especially when the police actions are as agregious or more physically violent than this lady words, however a lot of people want to question this type of arrest, not mention we as a nation slowly seeing our freedom to speak our minds being taken away with the threat of being arrested for responding angrily to the police violent and possibly illegal actions, moreover, if a nurse get caught brutalizing a sick child and this lady had said the exact words on social media towards that nurse would she be arrested, I just assume the answer is NO……..
