Man shot at Goed Fortuin barbeque recovering

Nov 08, 2011 News

 

Kenneth Bhagwandin, the man who was shot at a family barbeque on Sunday, is still hospitalized.
Bhagwandin was shot twice allegedly by an irate shop owner.  According to relatives the man is still in severe pains and cannot walk.
Kaieteur News was told that there is the likelihood that the shop owner might be charged with discharging a loaded firearm.
The police had stated that the incident happened around 01:30hrs at a beer garden at Goed Fortuin, West Bank Demerara.
It was further stated that two men were involved in an argument over the closure of the premises.
The police said that during the argument, Bhagwandin was shot twice; once to the abdomen and another to the hip. He was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital for treatment.
His wife Mahadai Bhagwandin had stated that she received the news of the shooting some time after midnight on Sunday.
According to the woman, her sister who rents the same ‘beer garden’ had a barbeque. Bhagwandin said she and her husband went across earlier in the day after her sister told her husband to ‘weed her yard’.
The wife further told Kaieteur News that she returned home but her husband stayed behind to help her sister.
The husband returned later Saturday afternoon and started preparing to go back to the barbeque.
Despite his wife’s warnings, the woman said her husband left for the barbeque, promising to come home early.
It was after midnight that one of her daughters called to say that her husband was shot.
