Shot porter still hospitalised
Busby Dam robbery/murder…
Mervin Marcus, the porter who was shot in his shoulder at Busby Dam (also known as Buzz Bee Dam), Craig, East Bank Demerara (EBD) remains in a stable condition at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation, exactly six weeks after the robbery/murder.
Marcus, of Kaneville, East Bank Demerara (EBD) was returning to his workplace on November 6 last, with two of his colleagues, Aga Khan and Ken Ross, when three armed bandits forced the motor lorry GJJ 2806 which was being driven by Khan, to stop.
Shot robbery victim Mervin Marcus
The bandits shot and killed the 47-year-old driver and then turned their weapons on Marcus before escaping with $100,000. Since then Marcus has been hospitalised.
There were reports that Marcus’ condition had worsened and he was taken to the hospital’s High Dependency Unit twice before being transferred to the male Surgical Ward.
Currently, his condition is listed as “stable” but according to a source, the injured man’s condition tends to change often and he is constantly being monitored by doctors.
One man has been charged with the shooting and has been remanded to prison.
