Man Sentenced to 10 Years Imprisonment for St. George's Shooting

The sentencing of Dwayne Signor today for his role in a shooting at a crowded St. George's club in the early morning hours of April 4th 2010 should serve as a strong deterrent for those that seek to undermine the traditionally peaceful way of life in Bermuda.

In the last few months, of the five gun crimes that have been charged in the Supreme Court, all five have resulted in convictions. Mr. Signor is the second such person to be sentenced (with Mr. Cervio Cox having been sentenced to seven years for his role in a shooting on Court Street).

There are presently 14 persons awaiting trial in the Supreme Court for charges of Murder, Attempted Murder, and related charges. The outcomes of recent trials demonstrate the commitment of the Police, DPP, and Judiciary to address the criminal use of firearms. The Bermuda Police Service continues to work extremely hard along with and on behalf of law-abiding members of the community to make Bermuda safer.


All incidents are under investigation. Police are appealing to members of the public who have witnessed these incidents or may have information pertaining to them to contact their respective Police Station, Police Headquarters at 295-0011 or the confidential Crimestoppers Hotline on 1 (800) 623-8477.
