Today in the Supreme Court Pelealkhai Williams and Jonathan Dill were convicted as a result of their guilty pleas with regards to their involvement in the shooting of a man outside the Gravity Nightclub on the 8th October 2011.

Williams pleaded guilty to a charge of ‘Conspiracy to Commit an Indictable Offence with a Firearm’ and ‘Wounding with Intent’. Dill pleaded guilty to a charge of ‘Accessory After The Fact to Wounding with Intent’. Both men will be sentenced at a later date.

The Bermuda Police Service would like to highlight the conviction of Dill and his role in assisting the main offender Williams. The circumstances of this case demonstrate that where there is evidence that any person knowingly assists in any crime, that it will be thoroughly investigated and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

The Bermuda Police Service would like to thank the members of the public who assisted with the investigation that has assisted in bringing a successful conviction for two men in a very serious crime.

We would also like to acknowledge the hard work of the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions who worked diligently to bring this matter to a conclusion without the need to go to trial on the evidence.
