Buzz Bee Dam shooting…..Hospitalized victim stable

Nov 08, 2012 News

A man is in police custody assisting with investigations into the shooting death of a 57-year-old truck driver and the wounding of a porter during a robbery on Tuesday, at Buzz Bee Dam, Craig, East Bank Demerara.
Dead is Aga Khan, of Lot 20 Grove Public Road, East Bank Demerara. He was shot at close range in the right side of his neck after he reportedly handed over a bag containing $750,000 to one of four robbers.
The father of three was pronounced dead at the Diamond Diagnostic Centre.
Khan and the two porters, Mervin Marcus and Ken Ross, were all employed by the Edun Poultry Farm located a stone’s throw from where the robbery took place.
The wounded porter, Mervin Marcus, was shot in his right shoulder and is currently a patient at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).
Yesterday, when Kaieteur News visited Marcus, he was visibly in pain. Although his condition is listed as “stable,” he could have hardly moved. His shoulder was bandaged and so was his neck.
When asked about his tragic experience that day, he shook his head to signal that he was in pain and could not speak.
Meanwhile, the police in a statement said they are investigating Khan’s murder.
A police release said that Khan was attacked by four men, one of whom was armed with a handgun and others with knives.
Khan, was driving motor lorry GJJ 2806 owned by Edun Poultry Farm, east along Buzz Bee Dam, when the men walked into the path of the vehicle causing the driver to stop. One of the men then approached Khan and demanded cash. He was shot to his neck in the process.
One of the suspects then approached Marvin Marcus who was in the cab with Ken Ross, 18, of Brickery Road, Craig, EBD. Marcus was shot to his shoulder before handing over $700,000 to the men who then escaped.
