Joshua Denny
The 19 year-old was gunned down whilst on his way to work after he was robbed of his gold chain.
Inniss, a former FIFA Assistant Referee who made the rounds here in his development career, recalled officiating with Denny as a player some years ago as Denny was an active member of the Camptown Football Club where his uncle, former national player Troy ‘Bugs’ Prescod and many other nationals had an impact on his {Joshua} own career.
“On behalf of the Guyana Football Federation and the entire football fraternity, I would like to extend deepest condolences to the family on Joshua Denny’s killing. We got the news of his senseless gunning down while on his way to work. We commiserate with the family.
I personally have known young Joshua from the days when I officiated, very conscientious and enthusiastic youth playing football at the Camptown and GFC grounds. It was very gut wrenching to hear such sad news, so we sympathise with the family who we are thinking about them during this trying period.”
Inniss also stated that the family can take comfort from the fact that he {Joshua} was on the right path whilst making a call for killings of this nature to be tackled with a view of eliminating them.
“We have to continue to keep our young people on the right path, and I think it was no fault of his.”
The late Joshua Denny would be laid to rest today following a funeral service under Muslim rites at his 2109 Nutmeg Street, North Ruimveldt residence. He has left to mourn his mom, dad, three sisters, a pregnant fiancé, family and friends, especially in the football fraternity.
