Jamaican officers cleared in shooting
unlawfully wounding a suspect on the Caribbean island, Police said yesterday.
The pair returned to Jamaica earlier this year to assist inquiries into the shooting of a suspect in May, 2000.
Bermuda Police said yesterday both officers have been acquitted at St.
Andrew's Magistrates Court in Jamaica of unlawfully wounding the suspect.
The Bermuda Police Service does not intend to take further action against the officers and the Jamaica Police Service Commission has no objection to the officers returning to Bermuda, the statement added.
Moves are afoot to arrange for the return of the officers. They were among 21 recruited from the Caribbean last year to deal with a manpower shortage in Bermuda.
The Bermuda Police statement said: "The Service is in the process of arranging for the two officers to return to Bermuda.
"The necessary authorisation has been given by the Ministry of Labour, Home Affairs and Public Safety.'' WOMAN INJURED IN SEX ATTACK CON Woman injured in sex attack A Devonshire woman suffered a broken ankle during a terrifying sex attack at her home on Saturday morning.
The injury occurred while the 54-year-old woman, who knew the man, struggled with her attacker after he forced his way into her home at around 7.30 a.m.
Police say when the woman answered her door, the man forced her into her bedroom and sexually assaulted her.
She was taken to the King Edward VII Memorial Hospital for treatment to her ankle.
The attack was broken up when a neighbour heard her screams and rushed to the house.
Police are seeking the man, who ran from the house after being disturbed by the neighbour.
It is the latest in a string of attacks on women which prompted a protest march through the centre of Hamilton last month.
Sex assaults in the first three months of this year increased to 11, Police revealed last month.

MASEFIELD IN LONDON TALKS CON GOV Masefield in London talks Governor Thorold Masefield was in London last week for a conference of Overseas Territories governors.
The conference, held at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, allowed governors to exchange information with FCO overseas territories minister Baroness Scotland.
Among the issues discussed were constitutional modernisation, drug trafficking, regulation of financial services, sustainable development, human rights, aviation and maritime issues, nationality, immigration and prison and police services.
The annual three day conference, which ended Friday, was for consultation rather than decision-making.
