Kaieteur News – Kaieteur News has learnt of a bizarre tale where a well-known robber killed himself by accident at Bourda Market, on Christmas day.
Persons identified the dead man only as “Tricksy”. He was described as a well-known “thief”.
This newspaper was told that the man accidently shot himself in the head around 03:00hrs.
The man was having a few drinks and reportedly became intoxicated.
He then took out a firearm and reportedly began playing with it, boasting that he was a “bad man”.

“He was waving it around in the air pointing it all over the place before finally pointing it to his head,” they said.
