The Parliament of Barbados has brought new legislation to make it harder for people who commit murder and firearm offences to get bail. According to the Bail Bill, 2024 defendants will have to provide satisfactory evidence as to why they should be granted bail. Attorney General Dale Marshall, introduced the Bill, as he expressed concern about the 26 murders recorded so far for 2024, up from 21 recorded in 2023. 17 of the murders this year were committed using firearms.
