POLICE are currently investigating the discovery of a body at a Lake Grove Road house late Thursday as a homicide, Chief Superintendent Solomon Cash has said.
According to police, officers were called to the Carmichael Road area home shortly after 10pm, where the unresponsive body of a man was discovered with visible injuries.
Paramedics were subsequently called to the scene, but were unable to resuscitate him. The man was pronounced dead at the scene.
CSP Cash on Friday said police presently regard the death as a homicide while they await the results of an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death.
When asked if investigators were following any leads in the case, he said “no.”
The Tribune understands the victim is 54-year-old Jerome Thurston.
His murder, if confirmed as a homicide, will mark the 17th murder for the year, according to The Tribune’s records.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 919, 502-9991 or Crime Stoppers at 328-TIPS.

Oh!, Man. Another murder ? And the approach to crime by the RBPF continue to be long stationary wrong because all these murders still happening today. Only the RBPF's uniform is royal,the rest is a real mess. They still fail to address minor complaints from the general public, and still fail to address the cause of crime and also fail to stop "Walking on their brain" just entertaining themselves with the symptoms of crime. Too many wrong,do not make a right.! We need a "National Dialogue to Solve Crime". This is something very serious all the time and not only when a resident from "The Mountain's Top" is the victim or a RBPF's member is a victim. We all are important and life,work and play matter. By creating a National Board To Solve Crime,form by independent members of the general public to find real,effective,proper approach to crime,in order to beef up real solutions, based on recommendations of actions to be exercised by the RBPF. No more,long stationary entertainment only with the symptoms of crime. We need to tackle the cause,mainly.This is not so difficult if "The Main Will" to decrease,to the maximum,near zero,all these waves of crime happening everyday in a place with small population. I know ordinary,local people,have good ideas about significant decrease of crime in The Bahamas.

For the past few weeks all one can hear all day is sirens and see flashing lights at night. Police cars flying through the heavy traffic streets. Hard to figure if this is another crime fighting initiative or general increased crime.
