Goldsmith survives execution attempt

Aug 21, 2008 News

A 30-year-old goldsmith narrowly escaped what appears to be an execution attempt when gunmen opened fire on him as he was making his way home early yesterday morning.
Mark Deon, of Lot 56 Fourth Street, Cummingslodge, was wounded in the leg while riding his motorcycle in the vicinity of Goedverwagting, East Coast Demerara.
The incident occurred at about 02:15 hours.
Deon told investigators that he was heading home from an East Coast Demerara nightspot when a dark coloured Toyota Carina AT192 with three men inside pulled up alongside him.
One of the men discharged three rounds at him, one of which hit him in the foot.
Deon managed to continue riding until he reached the home of a friend who assisted in taking him to the hospital.
He then reported the matter to the police, who subsequently visited the area where the shooting occurred.
However, they did not receive any useful information on the attackers.
Investigations are continuing.
