Acting Superintendent Nicholas Pedro - Investigators are still working with witnesses and area residents to come forward and provide any information they may have in relation to the murder of Mr. Jonathan Dill. We are thankful for those that have already come forward, but it is essential that those who know something, say something.

Detectives are pursuing all available lines of enquiry. We know that persons with information may be reluctant to come forward. However, the community holds the key to solving this crime and the Bermuda Police Service will require the assistance of our fellow community members to bring the killer or killers to justice.

It is also important for all members of the public to remember that there are means to protect and reward persons that provide information leading to an arrest or a conviction in this & other similar cases.

Witnesses or persons with pertinent information can contact the Serious Crime Unit in confidence at 247-1739 or on the independent & confidential Crime Stoppers hotline on 800-8477 (TIPS).
