Elmer Nah Appeals to Authorities to Enhance and Review Murder Recording

While we were in court on Wednesday covering the Bladen Twelve drug landing case, one of the defendants in that case, slipped us two notes which pertain to another case for which he faces three counts of murder. Elmer Nah, who is charged with the murders of brothers, Jon and David Ramnarace and Jon’s wife, Vivien Ramnarace, claims in the notes that he has been appealing to the authorities to get them to enhance the images to show that he was not the gunman in the triple murder. In one of the notes, Nah names a former policeman as the gunman in the Ramnarace triple murder, a name we cannot show because that former officer has not come under any investigation as a suspect. Today, News Five spoke with Commissioner of Police, Chester Williams about this scenario that has presented itself. He said that Nah is entitled to present a defense when the matter goes to trial.

“He says that another officer by the name of Mr.****** is the murderer in the Ramnarace case. Nah also says that he has asked police to enhance the video of the shooting and they will see it is not him. Any response to that?

 

Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police

“I will not respond to that. That is a matter before the court. Nah certainly has the right to mount a defense. We at the end of the day will have a duty to present the case. I will leave it at that.”

“He alleges that he was threatened by a police escort.

 

Chester Williams 

“That report is total fabrication. I have consulted with Ms. Alifa Elrington who is head of prosecution branch and thankfully the officers who are engaged in securing Nah do wear body cameras and the bus in which he is escorted also has camera inside. So we do have video footage of his entire escort and nowhere in his escort do we see anybody abusing him or threatening him. Those video footages also have audio. So if it were the officer threatened him using words, the audio would have picked it up and if were that the officer had threatened him by action then the video would have picked it up as well. From our investigation we have found out it is not true.”
