Sentencing of Antonio Myers

The Bermuda Police Service notes the sentence of the Supreme Court in the matter of R vs. Antonio Myers, for the murder of Mr. Kumi Harford.

The public will recall that Mr. Harford was targeted by gunmen as he sat in his car near his home on Mission Lane, Pembroke, on 5th December, 2009. 

Following a lengthy trial, Mr. Myers was found guilty of the murder of Mr. Harford and the use of a firearm in that murder. 

The lengthy sentence of life imprisonment - 38 years to be served before eligibility for parole - meted out by Puisne Justice Mr. Greaves will hopefully act as a deterrent to others before they consider committing these types of offences in the future.

The case remains open as detectives from the Serious Crime Unit continue to look for other offenders in the case. Anyone with information relating to the murder of Mr. Kumi Harford, including the location of the weapons used to commit this crime, is urged to contact the Serious Crime Unit in confidence on 247-1340.

Alternatively, anyone with any information that may assist detectives investigating this matter is encouraged to contact the confidential and independent Crime Stoppers hotline on 800-8477.


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.
