Investigation Ongoing: Murder of Jonathan Dill

Acting Superintendent Nicholas Pedro, Officer in Charge of the Serious Crime Division - At about 10:20pm on Monday 2nd September, 2013 several 911 calls were received relating to gun shots in The Glebe Road / St. Monica’s Road Pembroke area.

Officers responded to #31 The Glebe Road, where they found a 30 year old Pembroke male in an unresponsive state outside the residence, suffering from injuries believed to be from a gunshot wound.

The victim is Mr. Jonathan Dill of Pembroke Parish.

The family and friends of Mr. Dill have been assigned a Family Liaison Officer by the Bermuda Police Service to assist them during this difficult time.

Mr. Dill leaves behind a 7 year old daughter and a 25 year old wife, with other numerous family members to mourn his loss.

Detectives from the Bermuda Police Serious Crime Unit are investigating the matter. All available evidence is being reviewed, and several witnesses have already been interviewed.

Detectives will continue to work at the crime scene and the wider neighbourhood to canvass for more evidence and witnesses during the remainder of the day today, and our Community Action Team will also work with area residents to assist them during what is unfortunately a more common, but nonetheless troubling and traumatic experience.

The Bermuda Police Service will enhance its regular and armed patrols in this, and other neighbourhoods that are affected.

The nature and method of this heinous crime lends evidence that this is a gang related event. As such, enhanced patrols will also include areas where there is the possibility for retaliation.

A full complement of detectives will investigate this matter to bring the offenders to justice.

The suspect is believed to have acted alone riding a motorcycle, and on leaving the scene of the crime, the suspect turned south on The Glebe Road towards Parsons Road,  Friswells Hill, or Bishop Spencer Road - being other possible routes taken after leaving the residence.

Further details on the suspect may be released at a later time.

I am appealing for anyone that saw this incident or can provide information that can assist in identifying and bringing the offender or offenders to justice, to contact detectives from the Serious Crime Unit.

The Serious Crime Unit can be contacted on 247-1739 & 247-1340 or alternatively anyone with any information regarding the murder of Mr. Jonathan Dill is urged to contact the confidential & independent Crime Stoppers hotline at 800-8477 (TIPS).
