Nassau, Bahamas - The following is a statement submitted by the Rolle family on January 5,
2015:
The family of the late Sgt. 1475 Wayne Rolle would like to
express our profound gratitude for the support and prayers given to the family
during his recent passing. His tragic
death sent shock waves through our family, his colleagues, friends, and
community. We all know and appreciate
that in life, death is certain; however, we never expected our loved one to be
a murder statistic. The way he died was
senseless and cruel and is particularly difficult for his three children, who
still grapple and will continue to grapple with this tragedy in the weeks,
months, and years ahead.
We would like to thank the Commissioner of Police Mr.
Elliston Greenslade, his senior command, particularly Chief Supt. Paul Rolle,
Supt B.K. Bonamy and all of the hard working men and women of the Royal Police
Force for their commitment and service to this country in general and Sgt. 1475
Rolle’s case in particular. Despite the
many rumors and theories surrounding the death of Sgt. 1475 Rolle, we are
satisfied with the Police’s investigation, its progress, and the resources behind this investigation to ensure
that the persons who are responsible for this callous act is brought to
justice.
We cannot understand or make sense of this situation but we
place our hands and trust in God’s hand to help get us through the days
ahead. We want the persons who are
responsible for Sgt. 1475 Rolle’s death to know that we have forgiven them and
pray that God would touch their hearts and minds.
We grieve with other families who have lost loved ones to
senseless acts of violence and admonish the Bahamian public to renew its
commitment to stamping out crime in every facet of our communities. Let us unite with the Police Force to
accomplish a common goal; to create a safer and more secure Bahamas where all
of us can work, live, and play.
Again we wish to thank all persons who have shared with us
during this time by way of calls, visits, flowers, and prayers. We request your
continued prayers, especially for the children of the late Sgt. 1475 Rolle.
-The Rolle Family
