POLICE are investigating two attempted suicides - one involving a 16-year- old cruise ship passenger and the other an adult woman in Grand Bahama on Sunday.

NEARLY two weeks after North Eleuthera MP Sylvanus Petty resigned as chairman of the Water and Sewerage Corporation, Prime Minister Philip "Brave" Davis said an investigation was not launched into the underlying controversy, but that Mr Petty's court testimony was enough to secure his fate.

WOMEN United, a women's advocacy group, said allegations that politicians and the police disregarded Peter Nygard's "unsavoury practices" can't be ignored.

ADVOCACY group Women United said it is still pushing to amend the Protection Against Violence Act and wants to meet with the new minister of state for social services before the end of the year.
