NUMBER SIXTY VILLAGE, CORENTYNE – One of the robbery suspects was positively identified, on Saturday, by the victims last Tuesday’s robbery at 26 Section ‘B’, Number Sixty Village, Corentyne.
The suspect, who lives alone in a shack by the sea shore in the same community, is to appear in the Springlands Magistrate’s Court today. In that incident, an overseas based Guyanese couple had their possession forcefully taken from them at gun point by two men.
According to an Official from Division ‘B’ of the Guyana Police Force, 62-year old Thakur Dyal Ramphal and his 60-year old wife Drupattie Ramphal were just about to leave their home when they were confronted by two intruders.
The couple, who resides in the United States of America, arrived in Guyana on November 20th and would spend their days at their home. At nights they sleep at a neighbour’s home. They were just about to exit the front door sometime between 18:30 and 19:00 hours when a masked individual with a hand gun and another unmasked man with a cutlass attacked them.
The intruders forced them back into the house and dealt the husband several cuffs and kicks as they commanded them to hand over their cash and jewelry. The one carrying the gun relieved the wife, of the jewelry she was wearing – eight gold bangles, one gold chain with a pendant and a diamond ring in addition to $400,000. His accomplice robbed Thakur Dyal Ramphal of US$400 and $15,000 along with his gold and diamond wedding band.
The bandits then took the couple about 300 feet to the back yard where they ordered them to lie under a tamarind tree then fled the scene.
