Acting Deputy Commissioner Rodney Adams not involved with Burke’s murder case BY VIVIAN TYSON
A
cting Deputy Commissioner of Police Rodney Adams is giving surety to the public that he is not involved with the investigation of the April 15 gun killing of Avis Rent-a-car sales representative Kaziah Burke, or any recent shooting incident in the wake of swirling rumors linking family members to some of the events.
Adams made the declaration without being badgered by members of the media, at a news conference at the Police Headquarters in Providenciales on Tuesday, April 23. He told reporters that his decision not to get involved in the investigations was to avoid conflict of interest and to preserve the integrity of the probes. Burke was cut down in a hail of bullets while at the property that houses Caicos Gas Station, along Airport Road in Providenciales, on Saturday, April 15, where it was reported that he had gone to socialize. Since the incident, the police have netted three suspects, who they have been pumping for information. The majority of the men were picked up shortly after the incident. Last week the Police took them to court to request an extension of their detention, in order to dig for more clues in their investigation. This week, the police issued a statement calling for the public to assist in the investi-

gation, by telling what they may have seen or heard. The tough-talking cop said that he was eager to see justice served on those responsible for the killing, whether or not the guilty parties were family members. “I know there has been much public speculation about my role as Acting Deputy Commissioner in charge of Operations as it relates to this homicide investigation and, also other gun-related incidents that family members of mine have been suspected of being involved in,” he said. “We have discussed this matter – the com-
missioner and I and Deputy Commissioner Sullivan. And at the end of the day, I have no involvement with these investigations. They (investigators) report directly to Deputy Sullivan. So I want to reassure the public that as it relates to investigations, I am not the person they are reporting to, it’s Deputy Sullivan, ok. “I just want to make sure that is understood by all. At the end of the day, we can all have our opinions about situations but we cannot change the facts, they are what they are – wherever they chips fall, so be it,” Deputy Commissioner Adams reiterated. Adams’ declaration was backed up by Commissioner of Police Colin Farquar, who confirmed that he had indicated from the outset that he wanted nothing to do with investigations of the recent spate of gun-related issues. “From my perspective, Acting Deputy Commissioner of Police Rodney Adams has been very forthright right from the beginning that he didn’t want to have any conflict of interest. And so, Deputy Sullivan has been overseeing not only with the homicide investigation but any other shooting-related files that we’ve had over the last few days,” Commissioner Farquar noted. The commissioner was unable to say if and when charges would be brought against those in custody, but stressed that investigations were still being carried out in the mater.
