THE Royal Bahamas Police Force (RBPF) last night quashed rumours of a murderous start of the new year after word spread of a possible triple homicide.
On January 1, users on two major social media websites discussed the alleged massacre.
One Facebook user said: "It's only the first day of the new year and people already killing, a whole three in one day!"
A Twitter user tweeted: "Three murders and its day one, something is wrong my people."
However, the RBPF said in a press statement: "No murders have been recorded for the year (January 1)."
The release went on to remind persons how official crime news would be provided to the public.
"Additionally, police wish to inform the public that any information relating to crime (ie murders, armed robbery, etc.) will be disseminated through the official office of Public Affairs & Communications Department of the Royal Bahamas Police Force."
They urged the public to be vigilant in their contributions in making the Bahamas safer for all.
