 Families For Justice Organization held a Press Conference on April 9, 2014
stating, "Murder Victim Families Wants Action From Commissioner Of Police And Minister Of National Security For The Brutal Killing Of Job Munnings By The Police In Grand Bahama"
“We Want Justice For Our Sons Death”
The following is a statement read by the president
of the
Families for Justice Organization,
Rev. Glenroy Bethel:
As the president of Families for Justice, this Press Conference, was arranged on
behalf of the Munnings family, and other families in the Community of Grand
Bahama, who are very much concerned, about the death of Mr. Job Munnings.
On January
23rd 2013, Mr. Job Munnings was shot and Killed in Abaco by the
Police.
The family later learned, that there Son, Father, Brother, and Uncle
death was a mistaken identity by the Police.
One year has
passed, and no action have been taken by the Minister of National Security, or
The Commissioner of Police. Mr. Job Munnings was a innocent civilian and was Never wanted by the Police when they
carried out there execution.
The families
were told, by the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Ellison Greenslade. That the matter
have been referred to the Coroner’s Court. One year has passed and no word from
the Coroner’s Court. Family Members went to the Coroner’s Court, last week in New Providence, to inquire into there sons investigation.
But were told by officials of the Coroner’s Court that they do not have any files at there
office for Mr. Job Munnings. The Courts informed the families, that the Courts
would, write to the Commissioner of Police, informing Him, to send the files of
Mr. Job Munnings within Fourteen days to the Coroner’s Court.
After receiving this information from the Courts, the
families were shocked to find out, no investigations were being conducted on
the death of Job Munnings.
The family said they were deceived in believing that
the Coroner’s Court had the files of Job Munnings according to the Commissioner.
As spokesperson for the families. We want Justice for our son
Job Munnings. The Police Killed, Assassinate, executed, put to death, bump off.
Our son who was innocent. And the Commissioner of Police in Freeport and in New
Providence brought no accountability against those Police Officers who are
responsible for Mr. Job Munnings Death. His death must account for something.
As President of Families for Justice, I will Conclude with
this, On behalf of the family of Mr. Job Munnings.
Recently
in New Providence the Commissioner of Police, recommended that a Senior Police
officer, be put on charge for violating the Royal Bahamas Police Force policies.
Regarding a man who was in police custody, for drugs. The Senior Police Officer,
gave Authorization for the Man to be Married at the Station, while in Police
Custody.
The Commissioner of Police did not condone this action, by the Senior Police Officer, and
the Commissioner of Police, had the full support of The Minister of National
Security in this matter.
Job Munnings Killing was a mistaken identity by the police it
was wrong and should have been dealt with by The Commissioner of Police and the
Minister of National Security.
