Craig man, 20, shot in bed on Good Friday
– Gunmen escaped with a wristwatch
Waking up to three masked men staring at you and a gun in your face is no easy thing, according to Amarnauth Ramdeen, who was shot to the elbow by three gunmen on Good Friday.
Ramdeen, 20, of Lot 1819 Craig, East Bank Demerara (EBD) is currently admitted to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), nursing a gunshot wound to his right elbow.

He was shot while in his bed by one of three gunmen, who gained entry into his home through an incomplete window, around 01:45hrs on Good Friday morning.
Police in a statement said that Ramdeen was aroused by a noise in his home and on checking, he was confronted by three men.
One of the men discharged a round that struck the 20-year-old to his right elbow, as they escaped through a window.
However, at the hospital yesterday, Ramdeen said he was shot while he was still in bed.
“When I open my eyes, I see three men dressed in hoodies and they were wearing handkerchiefs over their faces. They were looking at me and one of them had a gun pointing in my face,” the 20-year-old recalled.
He said that he got nervous when he saw the gun. “I didn’t move, I continue looking at them and then one of them put on the light and two of them jump on me and we started to fight.”
Ramdeen said while scuffling with the two men, he was shouting for “thief.”
“The two of them who were fighting with me run out the room and the one with the gun shoot me and then run out.”
Asked if the gunmen were searching his room when he woke up, the 20-year-old said, “No, they were just staring at me. Maybe I cough or turn around on the bed that’s why they probably come in the room to see if I would have wakeup.”
Ramdeen lives with his sister and brother-in-law.
