The Guyana Police Force Public Relations Department said that “the bullet went through his armpit almost by the shoulder so it wasn’t easy to detect according to Doctor Nehaul Singh [pathologist].”
Police further stated that the medical personnel at the hospital did not provide such information to the police, when Albert was pronounced dead.
A resident of Diamond on the East Bank Demerara, Albert known popularly as ‘Pastry Man,’ was employed at a bakery in Georgetown. At the time of his demise, he was reportedly vending bread in the Onderneeming Sandpit, in the late evening.
Police said Albert and his salesman were approached by two masked men, who were armed with a handgun. When the salesman refused to surrender the cash to the bandits, Albert attempted to drive away, but crashed into a nearby fence. It is unclear at which point the man was shot.
Police told Kaieteur News that the bandits made off with $60,000 to $70,000 in cash. Albert was taken to the Suddie Public Hospital, where he was pronounced dead by a doctor.
