appeal for help in what The Royal Gazette understands was a gruesome murder.

"We have many, many unanswered questions as to how it happened,'' his sister Mrs. Edwina Wilson said at a Press conference at Police headquarters.

One thing the family was sure of, she said, was that their 41-year-old "loner'' brother was murdered.

"We as a family would appreciate any help you can give us,'' Mrs. Wilson said. "Any little detail may be significant. Even anyone who glimpsed him somewhere or had a small chat with him (before his death).'' The family still wanted to know where Mr. Wilson, who went missing on February 14, was last seen alive, she said.

Police said he was seen the weekend before he disappeared at a football match at Devonshire Recreation Club.

Mrs. Wilson said her brother, who lived with the family in Devonshire, loved fishing and football.

"If any of Reggie's friends saw him anywhere doing anything before his death, come forward and speak up -- you don't have to identify yourself,'' urged brother Mr. John Hollis.

Mr. Wilson's decomposed body was pulled 10 days ago from the sea off North Shore Road just east of Store Hill in Smith's Parish.

It is understood his head was badly mutilated.

But Police would not confirm the report, refusing to discuss Mr. Wilson's injuries at all.

Police spokesperson Sgt. Roseanda Jones said detectives feared the information could jeopardise the investigation.

"We can neither confirm nor deny (the report) at this stage,'' acting Supt.

Vic Richmond, heading the investigation into his death, said when contacted.

The 41-year-old unmarried construction worker had been missing from his family home for more than a week -- since February 14.

Detectives this week turned their attention to Admiralty House Park on the North Shore in Pembroke after reports he was in the area.

They appealed for anyone who was in the area on February 14 or the early hours of the next day, to come forward.

Mrs. Wilson thanked the Police for their effort so far and those who called with information.

"We have had a fairly good response from the public,'' acting Supt. Richmond said.

Police began treating the death as a homicide after an autopsy on Mr. Wilson which was performed by a Miami-based forensic pathologist, said acting Supt.

Richmond.

Mr. Wilson was Bermuda's fourth homicide case in slightly more than two months.

No one has been arrested yet in the death of Mr. Irvin Dunlop, who was found last Christmas laying in a church alley.

Mr. Richmond said he would prefer calls on the Wilson case directly to him on 295-0011, 299-4315. People can also call his family at 295-1455, he said.

Tough Police interviewing over the Reggie Wilson murder came into question this week.

Young men at Admiralty House have been upset by the way they have been quizzed, the Senate heard.

"They are very, very upset,'' said Opposition senator Neletha Butterfield.

Her comments came during the Senate's motion to adjourn debate.

This week it was revealed Police probing the Wilson murder had switched their attention to Admiralty House Park in Spanish Point.

Sen. Butterfield said several men disturbed by Police interview techniques had approached her.

She hoped Police were not forcing people to talk about "things they knew nothing about''.
