In the wake of a startling escape by a murder suspect from the Magistrates’ Court in Nassau, Bahamas, National Security Minister Wayne Munroe has called for a comprehensive review of court security protocols. The incident, which occurred last Thursday, saw 34-year-old D’Angelo Culmer evade custody, sparking widespread concern and prompting urgent measures to prevent future breaches. Culmer, who has been on the run for nearly a week, was remanded in February for the alleged murder of 39-year-old Rudiska Bethel in a drive-by shooting on Ragged Island Street. At the time of the incident, Culmer was already on bail for attempted murder. Munroe emphasized the need to scrutinize closed-circuit camera footage from the court’s holding area to determine the exact sequence of events leading to the escape. He likened the process to ‘building a better mousetrap,’ referencing past incidents where suspects managed to flee custody. The minister stressed that authorities must ascertain whether the escape resulted from negligence or collusion, and hold accountable any individuals found complicit. Culmer’s escape, which occurred around 3:30 pm on October 3, has raised alarms about the vulnerabilities in the court’s security system. He was last seen wearing a blue T-shirt and light blue jeans, with distinctive tattoos of lips on his neck and the name ‘Tiffany’ on his right chest. Munroe urged the public not to assist or shield Culmer, warning that aiding a fugitive carries severe legal consequences. He also highlighted the potential dangers Culmer might face if his case is gang-related, suggesting that rival factions could pose a threat to his safety. Police have yet to release new information on Culmer’s whereabouts, and investigations into the escape remain ongoing. This incident marks one of the longest periods between an inmate’s flight from custody and recapture in recent years, underscoring the urgency of bolstering security measures.
