The recent death of four-year-old Bella Walker is both gravely disturbing and saddening, and can only be described as any parent/guardian’s worst nightmare.
It was very painful for the country to learn about the details surrounding this incident. The series of events that led to Bella’s death are certainly indicative of the many families, communities, and even a nation, steeped in crisis.
This horrific act perpetrated against young Bella is just a dreadful reminder of the scores of children that find themselves in violent and painful home environments.
We in the Free National Movement are disheartened and in a state of shock to learn that an innocent child, described as being loved by all whom she encountered, met her untimely demise in such an unfortunate and horrific manner.
We detest all forms of violence in our society, especially against women and children, and it is our fervent hope that the person(s) responsible is(are) brought to justice as soon as possible.
One thing is certain, that there exists far too many instances of violence in our homes and communities. While incidents such as this should never take place, we are hopeful that it sheds greater light on such a vexing issue, and moves persons to be more vocal and forthcoming about such matters.
We are heartbroken to learn of this news, and we empathize with Bella’s family and loved ones at this time. While mere words certainly will never be sufficient to relieve you of your pain, after experiencing such a terrible loss, it is our prayer that you find peace during your time of bereavement.
On behalf of our party leader, the Most Hon. Dr. Hubert A. Minnis, officers and members of the Free National Movement, we offer you our sincerest condolences, and may the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, continue to be with you as you struggle to overcome this most difficult challenge at this time.
— Carl S. Culmer Sr.
Chairman, Free National Movement
