An anti-gang violence campaigner said yesterday he was shocked when he discovered another life had been lost just days after a vigil to remember murder victims.

Antonio Belvedere organised the Break the Silence event, held last Thursday at Hamilton’s Victoria Park, at which rows of crosses carried the names of 50 people who have been killed in Bermuda since 2003.

Danshun Swann, 25, died just four days later, in the early hours of Monday, after he was stabbed in a brawl outside Southampton Rangers Sports Club.

Police said yesterday that two men, aged 24 and 25, had been arrested in connection with the death.

Officers earlier revealed some of those involved in the fight, which involved about 20 men, may have gang links.

Mr Belvedere said: “It’s very hurtful to know that not even a week has passed, three or four days after I did my vigil, and I have to add another cross to the 50 already there.”

He organised the event after friend Taylor Grier was shot dead on July 30.

The 31-year-old said: “I kind of broke down a little bit because I actually knew Danshun Swann. I was with him on Sunday afternoon at Tobacco Bay and we talked for about 15 minutes.

“When I woke up the next morning to find he had passed away, it was very hurtful.

“I never thought we would be going through this again so soon.”

Mr Belvedere, executive chef at The Terrace on Hamilton’s Front Street, said Mr Swann had “worked very hard to be where he was” and was “trying to change his life for the better”.

Mr Belvedere is now planning a second vigil to be held in the park opposite Southampton Rangers’ ground at 7.30pm tomorrow.

He claimed the most recent incident was not “affiliated” with the sports club as it happened outside on the road.

Mr Belvedere added: “I know the club has come a long way. They have CCTV, they’ve had their fencing fixed around the perimeter, they’ve got lighting up there and they have security.”

Mr Swann’s killing is the latest in several incidents in and around the club and came nearly three years after the gun murder of Rickai Swan, 26, outside the venue.

Customers were ordered to leave the bar almost exactly a year later when a fight broke out, but violence erupted in the car park and two men were stabbed and left fighting for their lives.

A man and woman were injured there last October when a gunman on a motorcycle fired into the club’s parking area.

A man was also injured when he was attacked by three others in a daylight machete and knife attack in the club’s car park during a family fun day in 2012.

Jason Wade, the club’s president, did not respond to requests for comment.

Zane DeSilva, the Southampton East MP whose constituency includes the sports club, said: “I wish that our younger people, people that are involved in this type of activity, would really cease and desist.

“They’re just hurting so many people; it’s affecting so many families.”

He added: “Jason Wade and his committee work so hard to try to promote positive things in the community. They are working really hard with the club programmes. I’m not so sure that the clubs are to blame.”

Michael Dunkley, the Shadow Minister of National Security, said: “In this case it’s very clear that clubs have to take further ownership of the situation.

“Unfortunately, this club has been marred by a number of murders in and around their vicinity, they need to take a critical look at what they are doing.”

Mr Dunkley added: “We need to say, if you’re a gangster, if you’re a thug, you’re not wanted on our property here and you will find more people will come because they will feel more comfortable.”

A 19-year-old man was arrested on Monday in connection with the fight, which happened at around 12.10am, and was later released on police bail.

A police spokesman renewed an appeal for the drivers of three cars which passed the South Road brawl to come forward and said that the investigation continued.
