According to initial reports, the couple was relaxing at their home when four men jumped their fence, rushed into their home and demanded money and jewelry.
Dhanraj, a pork vendor revealed that he was sitting in his hammock when the men entered and demanded money. He claimed that the gunmen took his wife to the kitchen and beat her about the body when she refused to give them money.
“When them went in the kitchen with my wife I thought I coulda runaway but I didn’t know two more of them were outside.”
He claimed that after the other two bandits, who were waiting outside his home, noticed him trying to exit the gate, they shot him on his foot and opened fire in the air to scare off neighbours who would have “come to their aid.”
“…They fire like 12 shots in the air,” the man claimed. He added that that was not the first time that bandits raided his house but instead was the fifth time.
Kaieteur News understands that none of the men was caught. The couple claimed that they have no idea who the men were.
