Police in the interior are on the hunt for a bandit who used a piece of wood to club his Brazilian victim on Wednesday night, causing his death a few hours later.
Fifty seven year old Joao De Souza was beaten about his body by the man during a robbery at 5 Miles, Arakaka, North West District around 20:30 hours Wednesday.
The man then made good his escape before help could come to the badly injured De Souza.
The Brazilian was taken to the Arakaka Health Centre and subsequently referred to the Georgetown Public Hospital. However, he succumbed while awaiting transportation at Matthews Ridge Airstrip at about 11:40 hours yesterday.
