The men who robbed and killed British visitor Edgar George Dart in a home invasion in Emerald Bay, Grand Bahama, two weeks ago, are still at large, police said yesterday evening.
"We are following some leads, but at the moment we don't have any major announcements," said Assistant Commissioner of Police Emrick Seymour, the officer-in-charge of the Northern District.
"But as I said, we are following some leads and we feel pretty good with where we are, although it is taking longer than some people would wish.
"We want to be methodical in our investigative process. The worst thing that could happen is we make an arrest and, at the end of the day, the person walks."
Seymour said, although police have questioned several people regarding the home invasion and murder, officers had not yet identified the robbers.
On April 8, Dart and his family were bound and robbed by three armed bandits, according to police.
Dart, who was reportedly in Grand Bahama visiting his mother, was shot after he got into an altercation with one of the intruders, police said.
Seven people were reportedly in the two story home on Dunton Lane, when the masked men broke in just before 7 a.m.
One of the bandits was armed with a handgun and another with a machete, police said.
After freeing themselves and ensuring the bandits had fled the area, members of the family drove to Central Police Station to alert authorities.
The robbers fled the home in a white truck owned by the gardener, police said.
The vehicle was later recovered about a block away from the home.
The bandits reportedly stole jewelery and other items.
Seymour said he has been in constant contact with Dart's family, including his mother, who he spoke with yesterday morning.
"She is holding up extremely well," said Seymour when asked about the family. "She is a good old soul.
"We want to put her and the family members' minds at ease in this matter. They have been very understanding during the investigating process.
"That's why it makes us more resolved to bring this matter to a conclusion, because the family has been extremely cooperative."
Seymour expressed confidence that police will solve Dart's murder.
