Speaking on the second anniversary her son Shaundae's murder, Marsha Jones vowed yesterday that she would never give up on the case - despite the failure of Police to charge anyone.

And Ms Jones urged the community to remain calm despite their frustrations with the legal process.

She told The Royal Gazette: “I don't want any vigilante action. It isn't finished, the system has to improve itself. I believe in my system, it has to come through for me.”

She spent the day with friends and family, some of whom had come from the States to be with her, looking back on the life of the bright Bermuda College student who was shot and killed outside Club Malabar in Dockyard.

“The family is really hurt that two years later we are still waiting for something to happen,” she said.

“My cousin Sharon Menzies flew in yesterday to be with me at this horrific time. She is going to be with me for a few weeks to be by my side.”

This week Kenith Clifton Bulford, who had been linked with the case, was freed after a judge ruled he had no case to answer on firearms charges dating back to March and April 2003.

Senior Magistrate Archibald Warner did so after a key Crown witness withdrew his evidence.

Bulford had skipped Police bail and fled Bermuda in the summer of 2003. He was found two years later in Jamaica and deported.

The officer originally in charge of the murder case, Det. Ch. Insp. Stuart Crockwell, is still under suspension following the launch of an investigation into a construction company with which he is involved.

However, yesterday Supt. Sinclair White declared that the investigation is still ongoing.

Ms Jones called on the community to lobby Government to improve the legal system.

“People keep walking up to me saying they are sorry but let's help each other as a community and ask what we intend to do with a system like this,” she said.

“I am not giving up or letting go, I am a soldier. There are too many mothers around who have lost their sons.”

Yesterday, Opposition Home Affairs spokesman Maxwell Burgess said more needs to be done to protect witnesses before the situation gets worse.

“If witnesses are going to suffer amnesia or lockjaw at the last minute, we are going to be the poorer for it,” Mr. Burgess said.

“We are going to see even more violent crimes. We have got to get witness protection legislation.”

He also urged the public to help the Police out and said mothers need to get over the mentality of believing their children can do no wrong.
