The brazen barbershop murder committed on Saturday in broad daylight marks the second gun murder in Bermuda this year.Stefan Burgess, 24 was shot dead at a residence on Glebe Road in Pembroke around 9pm on January 8. A second man was also injured in that fatal shooting incident.Three men were arrested in connection with his murder and released on police bail. To date no one has been charged.Police Commissioner Michael DeSilva told reporters at a press conference in April there were “36 firearm reports of which 16 were confirmed in the first three months of this year”.“These included one fatal and two non-fatal shootings. At the time of the murder of Stefan Burgess in January, there had not been a fatal shooting in eight months since the death of Jason Smith in May 2011,” said Mr DeSilva.Crime figures for the first quarter of the year also “included the recovery of two illegal guns, eight recoveries of illegal ammunition, two shooting where there were no injuries and one other crime was committed with the use of a firearm,” said Mr DeSilva.The North Shore area of Pembroke where the latest murder occurred is the same area of another brutal murder committed in April 2008.Matthew Clarke who was 31 and a young father of two was bludgeoned to death and “stabbed 26 times and left for dead in bed” at his home which is virtually directly across the street from Jason’s Barber Shop on North Shore.Three men are now serving life sentences for that murder, Vernon Simons, 24, Shannon Tucker, 33 and Kyle Sousa, 18.The Clarke murder trial had heard how construction company boss Tucker and his employee Simons blamed Mr Clarke for allegedly framing them over approximately 18 pounds (8,176 grams) of cannabis and 584 Ecstasy tablets discovered by the authorities in a shipment of machine parts for Tucker’s business.Prosecutors told the jury the murder stemmed “from the fact that the drug importation plot was busted three months before” the murder.This newspaper reported “Tucker and Simons were said to have blamed Mr Clarke for them being caught out, and roped in Sousa to help kill him”.Meanwhile, there have been 17 gun murders in Bermuda since May 22, 2009, with at least nine cases considered unsolved by police, in that no one has been charged with murder.Those cases include:n Kenwandee (Wheels) RobinsonShot dead, aged 27, on St Monica’s Road, Pembroke, on May 22, 2009.Murder investigation: No one charged.n Garry (Fingas) CannShot dead, aged 22, on Sound View Road, Somerset, on December 15, 2009.Murder investigation: No one charged.n Perry Mosley PuckerinThe first murder victim of 2010 was shot on January 3, aged 34, at the Hamilton Parish Workman’s Club.Murder investigation: No one charged.n George LynchGunned down, aged 40, outside a house in Midland Heights Crescent, Hamilton Parish, on May 5, 2010.Murder investigation: No one charged.n Freddy MayburyShot dead on June 14, 2010, aged 34, as he left Woody’s Sports Bar, Sandys.Murder investigation: No one charged.n Colford FergusonBermuda’s first murder victim of 2011 was gunned down, aged 29, while doing construction work on East Shore Road, Sandys, on February 4.Murder investigation: No one charged.n David ClarkeThe 26-year-old was fatally shot at the junction of Bandroom Lane and North Shore Road, in Devonshire, on April 17, 2011.Murder investigation: No one charged.n Jason SmithKilled by gunfire, aged 22, on Overview Hill, near the junction with North Shore Road, in the early hours of May 1, 2011.Murder investigation: No one charged.n Stefan BurgessThe 24-year-old was shot dead at a residence on The Glebe Road in Pembroke around 9pm on January 8, 2012.
