Many March on Saturday 1st February 2014

The march against crime, dubbed the “Freedom March,” was a success, according to the march’s organisers.

Anti-crime activist, Rodney Moncur told reporters that he was pleased with the turnout on Saturday and that he hopes that the government took note of it.

“Today you see a coalition of Bahamians who will march and continue to march against crime,” he said.

“We’ve come to say to the government, it’s a simple matter; we can reduce the amount of murders in our society if we do two things: no bail for murderers and remove the impediment that prevents the state from hanging murders. All they have to do is hold a referendum to get rid of the Privy Council and affirm constitutionally that capital punishment by hanging is the lawful means for people charged with murder.”

Families of All Murdered Victims (FOAM) President, Khandi Gibson was also on the march and said the government must realise that “enough is enough.”

“It’s good for us to unite because murder affecting everyone,” she told reporters on Saturday at the pep rally in Rawson Square.

“If you haven’t had someone murdered in your life, you probably know someone who had a loved one killed. It’s just so painful to know that these people committing murders are allowed bail and are back on the streets to kill again. We need to stand together and not just murder but all crimes and we are here to simply tell the government that enough is enough.”

Gibson had both her brothers killed within the space of eight months.

Also attending Saturday’s march was Rupert Roberts who said no one is safe in the country and that crime will “kill the economy and livelihood of the Bahamian people.”

“We need to have stronger laws and not give bail to murderers and just hang these people,” he said.

Democratic National Alliance (DNA) Leader, Branville McCartney told reporters that he did not participate in the march as the DNA Leader but as a concerned citizen.

“We live in this country as Bahamians and we are not safe,” he said.

“The fear of crime is mammoth and out of control. We need to put the fear of the law in the hearts and minds of the criminal element and we need the political will to ensure that happens. Doing the same thing over and over again is not going to work. We are asking the government to have the political will so that if you commit a murder anyone and you are found guilty, you see your maker. I’m here to stand for that and have stood for that for many years.”

Mr. McCartney said there are people out on bail repeating crimes and “that is really a slap in the face to law abiding citizens.”

“The fundamental principle of any government is the protection of its citizens,” he said.

“We have PLPs, FNMs, DNAs and otherwise here and I hope we take affirmative action in keeping the government’s feet to the fire in doing what the Bahamian people wants them to do failing which they must be fired as soon as possible.”

Free National Movement member, Dr. Duane Sands echoed similar sentiments.

“This is a Bahamian issue,” he said.

“Certainly I happen to look at this as a Bahamian and a surgeon and the truth of the degree of violence needs to be known by the Bahamian people. When you see the suffering, brutality, stabbings, shootings, rapes, it is unacceptably high and we can no longer continue to sacrifice the rights of society for the supposed rights of the individual. When the rights of the community are trampled by the rights of the individual then we need to take a look and reset the parameters by which we give bail and how we get people through the judicial system.”

The march began at the Golden Gates Shopping Centre and ended in Rawson Square with a pep rally.

Following the pep rally, people marched back to the shopping centre.

January 29th 2014 Man founded burned.

Helen Brown said she does not need police confirmation nor DNA tests to prove that the man’s body found shot and burnt beyond recognition is that of her son 30-year-old Nekos Kemp.

She told The Bahama Journal Friday that Kemp left their Malcolm Road home around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday and never returned home.

She said she has a gut feeling that he never will.

“They (the police) don’t have to give me that kind of confirmation,” she said. “That’s for their records. I already know that it’s him.

“I won’t allow them to put me through anything because I already know.”

Ms. Brown added that based on a sequence of events that have taken place since Wednesday, it is not closure she is looking for, but it is strength to deal with what is now her reality.

“It was not confirmed by the police up to 3:00 p.m. (Thursday) that it was my son Nekos Kemp,” she added. “But I know that it was his car and I know that it was him because when I see he didn’t come home 9:00 p.m. Tuesday I knew something was wrong.

“He always comes home and even if he doesn’t come home when I call for him he would always answer his cell phone. But he never answered his phone and he never came home. So I got up early Thursday morning and I kept calling his cell phone, no response. I called all the police stations and he wasn’t there.”

Ms. Brown added that her son, who was wearing an ankle monitoring bracelet at the time of his death, was arrested on Friday January 24 around 4:00 a.m. for violating his bail conditions for a pending rape case.

She said he remained in jail for five days and was released early Wednesday morning, the very same day police made that gruesome find.

Police reported that around 3:00 p.m. Wednesday they found a man’s body shot and burned in the passenger seat of a Honda Civic behind the Dundas Centre for the Performing Arts.

Police are still on the hunt for four men seen running from the crime scene.

“The last time I spoke to him was 10:00 a.m. Wednesday morning,” Ms. Brown said. “When he was released from the Central Detective Unit (CDU) around 6:00 a.m. Wednesday morning he called me to ask my sister to give him a ride home.

“She picked him up and my niece brought him here. He stayed here, changed his clothes and left about 10:30 a.m. That was the last time I saw him.”

Kemp’s mother said police are now requesting DNA samples from her to confirm his identity and added that police are still trying to clean up that ankle bracelet to retrieve its serial number to make a match.

“Nekos called me while he was in the police station and said he gave the police some privileged information and in turn they sent him out to the wolves, they never protected him,” Ms. Brown added.

“They should have protected him. Whatever it was he said to the police, they should have protected him, they didn’t.”

She added that Kemp is the father of an eight-year-old son and a one-year-old daughter.

Ms. Brown said she does not know who her son was with when he was killed but did confirm that just an hour before what is believed to be his body, was found, he was spending time with his youngest child.

“It had to be friends that he knows,” the mother said. “Nekos doesn’t let anyone sit on the driver’s side of his car. Nobody sits in that seat.

“It had to be someone who lured him there and they did what they had to do. Thank God for God. My daily prayer is asking for strength and I am receiving it.”

Journal sources said Nekos Kemp had an extensive police record with more than 60 cases in the system.

These include three rape matters, one in 2008, another in 2009 and the most recent in 2012.

Sources also said he had nine drug arrests and other arrests including harassment, threats of death, armed robbery among others.

Friday 24th January 2013 Man found Murdered in freeport his name is Anthony Kyle Welch.

Grand Bahama Police on Monday identified the man who was found brutally murdered at his home on Friday as former Mississippi investor, Anthony Kyle Welch.

The 47-year-old was bound with duct tape and stabbed multiple times about the body.

He was reportedly discovered shortly after 10:00 p.m.

Assistant Commissioner of Police Emrick Seymour said, the investigation into the gruesome homicide at the victim’s Albacore Drive home is ongoing and there was no one in custody, up to press time.

Welch resided at the home with his girlfriend who, ACP Seymour confirmed is also a foreign national, had notified police about the incident and has been cooperating with police.

She was observed on the scene speaking to investigators that night.      

Seymour did reveal that a dog was found dead at the home, but he neither confirmed nor denied reports of the victim’s fingers being severed.

Welch’s murder is recorded as the first for island for the year.

Back in 2012, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) charged Welch with securities fraud. 

He was charged with one count of fraud; alternately aiding and abetting fraud; and control person liability. 

Welch served as chairman and CEO of eHydrogen from January 2007 - August 2010 and ChromoCure from June 2009 - August  2010 and had allegedly increased the companies’ stock prices.     

It was alleged that Welch took over the two stocks, which are now “essentially defunct entities with no assets and little to no actual business operations.”

The SEC alleged that from at least March 2010 through August 2010, Welch issued press releases and intentionally made other public disclosures containing false and misleading information concerning, among other things, technologies acquired by and revenues generated by eHydrogen and ChromoCure. 

“The period of the press releases coincides with suspicious price and trading volume increases in the respective issuers’ stock,” the SEC further alleged. 

The lawsuit, which was filed in the Northern District of  Georgia court in early September 2012, states that Welch resides in Freeport, Bahamas.

The SEC was pursuing an order to have Welch turn over any financial gains from the alleged plot and numerous financial penalties.

Maxim Advisors, LLC, another company formerly controlled by Welch, was also sanctioned for using false and misleading promotional material while under his power and had its registration revoked by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority in 2004.

At last report, the SEC was seeking a variety of injunctions and bars against Welch.
