Suspected fowl thief shot dead

Nov 16, 2009 News

A licensed firearm holder of Number 70 Village Corentyne is currently in police custody assisting with investigations into the shooting death of a man who was founding lurking in his yard.

Reports stated that sometime after 02:00 hours yesterday, a man who has since been identified as ‘Nari’ was pronounced dead on arrival at the Skeldon Hospital.

This newspaper was told that around 02:00 hours yesterday, a licensed firearm holder was awakened by a noise in his yard. After venturing out of his house, the man realised that the noise was coming from the direction of his fowl pen.

He then armed himself with his shot gun and went into his yard where he noticed a shadow. Kaieteur news understands that upon seeing the shadow the licensed firearm holder discharged one round in the general direction.

After hearing a moaning coming from the fowl pen area he investigated and found the wounded man lying on the ground.

Neighbours eventually came out after hearing the noise and they soon discovered that the suspected fowl thief was no stranger to the area.

The wounded man was rushed to the Skeldon Hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival. He sustained a gunshot wound to his abdomen. ‘Nari’ is said to be of unsound mind and is known in the Number 70 Village Corentyne.

The licensed firearm has since been lodged with the police.
