The mother of 2003 shooting victim Shaundae Jones yesterday attacked Police for dedicating so much time and energy to the Bermuda Housing Corporation leak when so many murders remain unsolved.

Marsha Jones who is still awaiting justice following her son's Dockyard shooting spoke out after it was revealed Police had called in the US Secret Service to help investigate how the BHC dossier got into the hands of the media.

She is currently preparing for tomorrow's Stop The Violence march through Hamilton, organised by herself and fellow relatives of Bermuda's unsolved murder victims Shaki Crockwell, Jason Lightbourne and Marcus Gibbings.

At a press conference launching the march, she told The Royal Gazette Police needed to do more to find the murderers.

Asked what she thought about Police calling in the Secret Service over the BHC affair, she said:"Can you write what I think? If that's so important to find out who released the dossier . . . who released the murderers? Who killed our children? Who's behind the murders of our children?

"Since 2003, we have had approximately 12 murders. And we are worried about everything besides that. They definitely need to get their priorities right."

Repeating her previous call that Bermuda needs a homicide division, she said:"They need experts in this field someone that goes to work every day to work on murders.

"I would feel better to know they are actively working on them every day, which I know for a fact is not happening. There's only one detective actively working on Shaundae's case.

"I don't see how this man can do it for himself, because he's wearing so many hats for the Police. "It looks bad. We will continue having more murders and the only thing they come up with is that witnesses won't speak. We are stretching our resources too wide."

Tomorrow's walk begins at Hamilton Seventh Day Adventist Church, King Street, at 6 p.m. and heads along Church Street to City Hall, where a candlelit vigil will take place.

Mrs. Jones called for the whole community to show their support. "I'm hoping that it brings awareness to the serious problem we are having in Bermuda: violence. Not just murders, but violence, period."

"A week doesn't go by that you can open the newspaper and not see some kind of machete or other violence incident.

"Is attention the problem? Do they need attention? Is it TV? They are losing their friends. They are hurting.

"Some two or three months later, they are at it again. What does it take to stop this kind of behaviour? We need to come together as a community."

Bermuda Police Service declined to comment on Mrs. Jones' remarks.

Danny Crockwell said he still had no idea of the motive behind his son's shooting on the Railway Trail two months ago.

"I just don't understand why he is gone," he told this newspaper. "They (the Police) say they are still with the case. That's all they say. They haven't told me anything.

"I'm still lost. Who? Why? If it was over money, come to me. "I don't know what it is. They can give a speeding ticket and things. Let's deal with these murders. I'm not giving up hope. I promised myself Iwill find out one way or the other."

In a message to other families of victims, he added:"Don't give up the fight."

On the reason for Stop The Violence, he said:"Think about the little children growing up. They grow up thinking it's all right to kill. But it's not.

"But people are getting away with murder. "I don't want no family to feel what I feel. It hurts waking up and you can't see your son."

Marcus Gibbings was found stabbed to death in his Devonshire apartment just over a year ago, but Police have not yet charged anybody with his murder. Most of Mr. Gibbings' family is in his native Trinidad, but he is expected to be represented at the walk by a friend or relative.

Jason Lightbourne, who was shot dead in July 2006, will be represented by a grandparent.

Mother-of-two Shirley Raines, a friend of Mrs. Jones who has helped organise the walk, said:"As a human being, it really touched me that all these murders are going on. That could be anyone's child.

"We want to touch the community and let them see that the family lives on with the sorrow and all this hurt in their hearts."

Everyone is welcome, and grieving relatives are encouraged to bring a photograph of their loved one come rain or shine.
