An early morning stabbing which resulted in a 28-year-old man taken to hospital took place at Warwick Camp in the Royal Bermuda Regiment’s Corporal’s Mess, not on Spice Hill Road, as originally reported by police.

The soldier, who was allegedly stabbed in his stomach by a civilian, remains in ICU where he is listed in serious condition.

The Bermuda Police Service is currently liaising with the Regiment and police are appealing to anyone who may have been at Warwick Camp or specifically the Corporal’s Mess during the time of the incident to please contact CID on 295-0011.

A spokesman for the Regiment said: “We can confirm that an alleged assault by a civilian on a serving soldier took place in the Corporal’s Mess at Warwick Camp in the early hours of Sunday morning.

“The Royal Bermuda Regiment is committed to openness and transparency.

“We are cooperating fully with the police investigation into the incident and it would be inappropriate to comment further.

“We can say, however, in general terms, that the Regiment demands the highest standards of personal conduct in all its messes, from soldiers and from guests.

“Any failure to meet these standards will be dealt with severely, under both criminal and, where appropriate, military law.

“Any further inquiries should be directed to the Bermuda Police Service.”
