COMMENTARY BY BAHAMAS SCOOP I note that six people have been murdered in the past seven days with the victim of a seventh shooting clinging to life in hospital; he was shot multiple time with a high-powered rifle.

CARL BETHEL LOCKS UP FRANK SMITH

Dion Smith Defends His Good Name
Dion Smith who was treated like a criminal when the police mistakenly kept him in jail overnight looking for two speakers, a computer hard drive and a TV set. Turns out all the stuff belonged to him.
