Child among four executed

Sep 04, 2010 News

Four persons were gunned down in an execution-style drive-by shooting that rocked the lower East Coast Demerara community of Cummingslodge last evening at about 19:30hrs.
Among the dead is a four-year-old boy, Christopher Neil Jupiter, whose mother Fiona Singh of 280 Independence Boulevard, was also injured and was in a stable condition at the Georgetown Hospital up to late last night.
They were passengers in the car, PLL 2279, in which the other three victims were killed.
Among the others killed are Steve Jupiter called Steve Man, the baby’s father, Chris George called ‘Bigger’ and another man whose name was only listed as ‘Dice Head’.
From all appearances, the killer or killers used high powered weapons and riddled the car with several bullets, most of which pierced the vehicle. Up to press time, details of the incident were sketchy but according to investigators, the killing appeared to be a well planned hit.   According to a police, Singh had taken her baby to Cummingslodge to visit a relative who had returned home on holiday from Suriname.
The police said that Jupiter and his friends had gone there to pick her up when the shooting occurred.
Kaieteur news understands that as the car was coming out of Cummingslodge, another vehicle pulled up and the occupants opened fire, killing the four persons.
This newspaper arrived on the scene to find a bullet riddled white sedan that had run off the road at the Second Street junction.
In the car were two bodies; that of the driver and the front seat passenger.
A third man’s body was found in a ditch a little further down Second Street. Police on the scene conjectured that the third man had been trying to flee the scene of the shooting when he was mowed down.The woman and her badly injured baby had already been rushed to the Georgetown hospital. Eyewitnesses said that the child was not crying and had apparently gone into shock before eventually succumbing.
