FIVE men have turned themselves into police stations across New Providence in connection with the country’s latest murders.

On Monday, police issued an all points bulletin for Duran Neely, Hans Neely, Aaron Neely, Kenneth Neilly and Dior Johnson.

Police believe the men are connected to all three of the country’s weekend murders.

Assistant Commissioner of Police Anthony Ferguson said police believe all three of the murders, two in Nassau Village and one in Pinewood Gardens, are all related.

“I can say the men are in custody and we are looking at all of them for three homicides, we are treating them as one matter, we believe they are connected,” he said.

However, ACP Ferguson said he could not say when and if the men would be charged because it is “still too early to tell.”

The men are being questioned in connection with the deaths of 28-year-old Phajese Pinder, Gwenth Duncombe, 40, and 35-year-old Robert McIntosh.

Pinder was shot and killed at Stack Avenue, Nassau Village, on Friday as he pulled into the driveway of his home. Gwenth Duncombe was shot and killed in Pinewood. She was the passenger in the car that was shot up by unknown persons.

McIntosh was shot and killed on Saturday in Freeman’s Subdivision as he was walking home.
Three of the men in custody are brothers.

Assistant Commissioner of Police Anthony Ferguson said several other men are also in police custody in connection with last weekend’s murders.

The Tribune understands police also have two men in custody, ages 18 and 23, in connection with the shooting death of a bus driver last month.

Gregory Adderley, 24, was shot on his bus by a passenger as he approached Toote Shop Corner and East Street.

Superintendent Rolle said a passenger on the bus pulled out a weapon and ordered the driver to turn over his earnings. Another man who was on the bus, who was later identified as a Defence Force officer, got up and the suspect shot him in the face.

The driver handed over all the money, but was still shot several times. He died at the scene. Police say the suspect was assisted by another man and they both fled on foot.

The officer who was shot in the face, was recently released from hospital.

Investigations into all of the deaths are continuing.
