Robbery victims identify burnt suspect

May 15, 2010 News

Up to press time yesterday, the man who turned up at the Georgetown Public Hospital with burns about his body and claiming that he was burnt while preparing dog food, was still hospitalised under police guard. However, upon seeing the picture published in yesterday’s edition of Kaieteur News, the robbery victims have since come forward to identify the man as a member of the gang that robbed them.
But the relatives of the burnt man have since come forward saying that the man was indeed burnt with gasoline while cooking dog food.
Sources close to the investigation have informed this newspaper that the burns about the man’s body are consistent with acid burns, and not from gasoline or hot food as the man claimed.
On Thursday last, three gunmen attacked two homes at Pearl, East Bank Demerara. One of their victims, Navinash Dhanraj, was beaten in his head with a gun and relieved of cash and other valuables.
Soon after, his parents were attacked but the gunmen were no match for the aged couple. The gunmen were met with a garden fork and acid.
Dhanraj operates a goldsmith shop at his parents’ premises.
Some hours later a man turned up at the GPHC with burns about his body. The man informed persons there that he was burnt with hot food but the police at the institution did not believe his story.
