POLICE COMMISSIONER Ellison Greenslade

GREENSLADE:

"This commissioner came to office with clean hands. I am going to leave with clean hands."

"The investigation is not complete. Her Majesty's Coroner will continue the investigation and will then determine based upon the evidence brought forward or deduced, what position she will take in terms of recommendations."

"I am 100 per cent satisfied that there is nothing prejudicial that has happened, that nothing has been fixed, nothing has been interfered with, and that everything her majesty's coroner needed to have, was made available. What I'm now petitioning for, as commissioner, is that we continue to move forward and that the public is assured that there is transparency today, tomorrow, and into the weeks ahead."

PROTESTERS took to the streets yesterday in Nassau over recent deaths in police custody, such as this woman who took part in the protest outside Parliament, and were joined by people asking for more answers over the recent shooting of Job Munnings. Photo: Tim Clarke/Tribune Staff

The Commissioner of Police addressed the media for the first time since three young men died while in police custody and one was shot and killed by a member of the Royal Bahamas Police Force.

Yesterday Prime Minister Perry Christie promised to personally investigate the incidents after the families of the victims protested in Rawson Square, demanding justice for their loved ones. These families have also called for the resignation of the Minister of National Security, Dr Bernard Nottage after he walked past them on his way to the House of Assembly and "ignored" their cries for help.
