Police wishes to inform members of the public that the contents of the following “Fake News” regarding the recent homicide in Abaco circulating on social media is absolutely false.
“Confirm reports coming from Abaco the family of the daughter that was killed has apparently taking matters into their own hands. The mother who helped her son kill his wife is on the run and now that family is being targeted. The son of the mother was just found Shot to death in their home. Abaco is at war as we speak.”
Police are urging members of the public to desist from spreading such malicious rumours, which is causing undue grief to family members and panic in the community.
Police can confirm that the body found is believed to be that of a woman who reported missing in Abaco earlier this week.
An adult male relative of the missing woman is in custody assisting police in the investigations.
POLICE ARE APPEALING TO THE PUBLIC TO SHARE INFORMATION ON ANY
ILLEGAL/SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITIES IN THEIR COMMUNITIES, NO MATTER HOW SMALL OR INSIGNIFICANT (THE TIP) MAY SEEM, MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ARE URGED TO ANONYMOUSLY CONTACT THE POLICE AT 919 OR CRIME STOPPERS AT 328-TIPS (8477) (NEW PROVIDENCE) OR 1-242-300-8477 (FAMILY ISLANDS)
CRIME PREVENTION TIP OF THE WEEK - If a crime occurs – report it!
Everyone should consider it his/her responsibility to report crime. Many criminals target favorite areas and have predictable methods of operation. When you report all the facts
about a crime, it helps the police assign officers in the places where
crimes are occurring or where they are most likely to occur. If you
don’t report crime, this allows the criminal to continue to operate
without interference.
In many cases, it is the information provided by victims and witnesses that leads to the arrest of a criminal. So tell the police as much as you can; no fact is too trivial. The police need the eyes and ears of all citizens.
