(CMR) Governor of the Cayman Islands, His Excellency Martyn Roper, has joined the police in calling on members of the public to tell what they know about the murder of retired prison officer Harry Eliott.
“I join RCIPS in making a direct appeal to everyone on our Islands to come forward with any information about this crime. This type of incident is not the Cayman I have come to admire and respect. If you have any information please contact RCIPS so they can apprehend those responsible for this heinous crime and obtain justice for the family of Mr. Elliott,” Mr. Roper said in a statement Wednesday.
“I know that everyone across our three islands feels a sense of shock and revulsion over the shooting on Monday, which resulted in the death of a former Prison Officer. Mr. Elliott was a well-loved member of our community. He will be greatly missed. I send my deepest condolences to his family and friends, including former colleagues at HM Prison. They are all in our prayers,” Governor Roper said.
He said the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service were doing all they could to swiftly identify and bring to justice the perpetrators of this terrible crime.
“I have every confidence in them. In my time as Governor, I have been impressed with the success of RCIPS in identifying for prosecution those suspected of the most serious crimes,” he added.
