Ongoing Appeal: Murder of Rudolph Smith

Tue, 2013-07-09

Detective Chief Inspector Nicholas Pedro, Officer in Charge of the Serious Crime Unit - On this day in 2012 Mr. Rudolph (Rudy) Lamar Smith (pictured right) was last seen alive. Over the past year, his family, friends and loved ones have been living with the pain of not knowing what has happened to their son. I would ask each and every member of the public to put themselves in their unimaginable position - especially that of his mother Madeline Rampersad.

The investigating team has continued to probe this matter, but the reality is that his family and this community need closure.

The Bermuda Police Service remains committed to finding Mr. Smith’s killer or killers. Whilst it is often the police that bring suspects to face justice, this is a case where the community holds the key to solving this matter. Whilst we have gathered certain evidence already, the people in the community will be critical in helping the family get closure.
