POLICE CHIEF Tyrone Griffith says he has no evidence of hitmen being hired to commit murders in Barbados.
Responding to reports that a recent high-profile murder was committed by hired guns from a neighbouring country, the acting commissioner said: “If you look at the murders for the year I don’t see the evidence of any hitman as such… The majority of all these homicides has to do with the drug trade. The perpetrators as well as the victims are all intimately involved in these drug activities. As to hitmen, I have not seen evidence of that.”
He said people tended to “brandish around these things”.
“Unless there is evidence to that effect I would not say that,” he said. “I am not dismissing the possibility that there are hits, but when you look at the vast majority of murders I don’t see evidence of that. (MB)
