Police seeking “known suspects”

Jan 14, 2011 News

While Kaneville businessman Majeed Khan has been discharged from the hospital, police on the East Bank of Demerara are looking for several known suspects from within in the village.
The businessman was shot by bandits on Thursday last at his home.
Police sources yesterday informed Kaieteur News that they are looking for some “known suspects” in the Kaneville area.
The sources explained that one of the suspects being sought was recently released from prison. Further it was noted that the police have heightened their presence in the area, since the shooting.
Khan was discharged from the hospital earlier this week, after spending several days in the High Dependency Unit of the Georgetown Hospital.
Pamela Gordon, the man’s wife, had told this publication that she was in the house when she observed five men entering the premises.
The bandits, according to Gordon, were wearing handkerchiefs and stockings to conceal their identities.
Two of the bandits, had guns while the others were wielding knives.
Gordon said that it was at that point when the bandits entered her home that she started to shout “Thief, thief” even as she heard the men ordering her husband not to make any noise and to direct them to their money and jewellery.
The gun-toting bandits then approached her and ordered the same from her and in the process one of them struck her with his gun while the other cuffed her.
She said she told them that the money was in the shop and that they did not have any jewellery.
Gordon said that during the ordeal, which lasted mere minutes, she heard one gunshot ring out and when the men fled she saw her husband slumped in a pool of blood.
Gordon estimated that the men managed to grab just about $150,000. The men also took her bag which had in it bank cards, a mobile phone and some money in a wallet, among other items.
After the men made good their escape she said that neighbours came to her aid. (Latoya Giles)
