Police to seek DPP advice

Feb 01, 2010 News

ALBION, CORENTYNE – Police are to seek advice from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions on the way forward in the shooting death on Friday of chicken farm watchman Dhanpaul.

The two employees who were on the job at the time of the incident and a female who is connected to the business were detained Friday night and are still in custody.

Just after 22:00 hours on Friday, ranks in Division ‘B’ of the Guyana Police Force received a tip off of a shooting incident at a livestock farm at Number Four Dam, Albion on the Corentyne.

On arrival, detectives found 62-year old Dhanpaul of Number One Road, Corentyne with what appeared to be a shotgun wound to the left arm. The man was rushed to the New Amsterdam Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival. A shotgun and a spent shell were recovered from the crime scene.

Police are working on a theory that the alleged gunman was playing with the weapon when it accidentally went off and struck the victim. The shooter is not a licensed firearm holder.
