New Year’s morning shooting…
Sean Craig, the 28-year-old man who was shot and killed on New Year’s morning by a bandit who was in the process of conducting a robbery at the Mars Service station and Variety store, died from shock and hemorrhage due to a bullet wound.
The bullet, it is understood, pierced the man heart and lungs.
This was revealed in a post mortem examination conducted by Dr Vivekanand Brijmohan at the New Amsterdam hospital yesterday.
Craig, a car washer, of 57 Stanleytown, and Wade Mc Donald ,42, of 41 Scheme, Stanleytown, who is also a car washer, were at the Mars Gas station at 45 Stanleytown New Amsterdam, at around 00:30 hrs on Saturday morning heralding in the new year, at which time a bandit robbed businessman Michael Mars and his wife Joan of over $500,000.  Craig was fatally shot, while Mc Donald was gun butted and received a graze to the head from a bullet and had to be treated at the New Amsterdam hospital.
In the meantime, the suspected bandit has been positively identified. An identification parade was conducted on Monday after the man was arrested in the Angoy’s Avenue area. Police got word of this hideout and swooped down on the location.
The man is a well known character and has served time for various offences. He is expected to be charged shortly.
