Corentyne man chopped in head during a robbery attempt

Dec 10, 2019 News

A 33-year-old man is currently nursing a chop wound to his head and other injuries about his body after he managed to fight off three armed men during a daring robbery attempt Sunday night.
Resting at home with several stitches is Ryan Esuridas of Hampshire Village, Corentyne, Berbice.
Reports are that the Esuridas was in the company of two other friends at a liquor shop in Hampshire Village Sunday night when three men, one armed with a gun and the others with cutlasses, barged into the shop and demanded that they hand over all they had in their possession.
Police sources have since indicated that the victim and the other two men put up a fight with the perpetrators who were masked and it was during the scuffle that Esuridas was chopped and beaten about his body.
Nothing was stolen and the police have since detained and released several persons. Investigations are ongoing.
