In this week’s edition of TNN’s Weekly Roundup, we take a look back at the top stories that made headlines across Bermuda.
•Royal Visit Brings Pomp and Pageantry
HRH The Duchess of Gloucester arrived in Bermuda this week, marking the beginning of a four day royal visit filled with grandeur and celebration. Her arrival brought vibrant color and fanfare to the island as she engaged in a series of official events. The Duchess is scheduled to depart on Monday after completing her slate of engagements.
Adding to the week’s ceremonial spirit, the Royal Bermuda Regiment commemorated its 60th anniversary with the changing of its regimental colors — a historic and symbolic moment for the island’s defense force.
•Court News: Murder Charges Filed
In the courts this week, 24-year-old Kinte York was formally charged with the murder of Janae Minors. The accused was not required to enter a plea, as the charges are indictable offenses. He faces two counts — one for the murder of Janae Minors and another for discharging a firearm with intent to commit murder. The defendant was remanded into custody and is expected to reappear before the Supreme Court during the monthly arraignment session on December 1st.
•Community News: Missing Teen Found After a Month-Long Search
In a heart warming development, the community is relieved with the case of the missing teen Ja’Dore, who was found at a residence on Curve Avenue area — more than a month after being reported missing on September 17th. Police have confirmed that one person is currently in custody and is being treated as a person of interest.
TNN understands that the individual is 26 years old, and sources suggest that a court appearance is highly likely. Serious questions remain surrounding how Ja’Dore could have been inside the residence for such an extended period — particularly as other adults are believed to have been living there. The public are demanding answers.
•Sports: Bermuda Faces World Cup Disappointment
In sports, Bermuda’s hopes of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup Finals have dimmed significantly following a 4-0 defeat to Jamaica in Kingston. This marks Bermuda’s fourth consecutive loss, having previously fallen to Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, and Curaçao.
With zero points in their qualifying group, Bermuda now sits at the bottom of the standings, making advancement to the next round virtually impossible. A full post-mortem of the campaign will be necessary to assess what changes need to be made for the future of Bermuda football.
That wraps up this week’s roundup.
