Shot Enterprise man battles for life in ICU

Jan 27, 2013 News

 

 

A 33-year-old man is battling for his life at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC)’s Intensive Care Unit (ICU) after he was shot in his abdomen by gunmen on Thursday.
Injured is Rajindra Singh, a Driver at BK International, of Lot 14 ‘T’ Drive, Enterprise East Coast Demerara (ECD).
According to reports, Singh had gone by his neighbour for a drink and was on his way home when he was shot.
Singh’s wife, Linda Persaud, said that their house is shared by her in-laws. “We live downstairs and my brother-in-law was upstairs alone so my husband called him and told him that he was leaving to come home to keep his company because he alone was at home.”
The 16-year-old was on the phone when three bandits entered the yard. They had reportedly come from the line-top. One of the robbers went to the veranda and struck the phone from the teen’s hand.
The bandits then took the 16-year-old inside the upper flat. The two accomplices also entered the upper flat, and took turns lying in the hammock. Singh’s wife was unaware of what was going on.
Singh who was also unaware of what was happening, entered the yard and was about to go upstairs when one of the robbers shot him.
Although wounded, Singh managed to go upstairs, where he confronted another robber in the front bedroom. The bandits had already tied up the teenager with a sheet. The wounded man and the bandit struggled. The younger sibling managed to free himself and came to his brother’s aid.
However, the robber drew his firearm and forced the two brothers to retreat. The gunmen then fled. The shot man came downstairs to check on his wife and collapsed on the front stairs.
Neighbours heard the wife’s screams and came to the family’s assistance. They then took the wounded man to the GPHC where he underwent surgery but is said to be in a critical condition.
