Kaieteur News – A 38-year-old taxi driver was shot in the region of his thigh on Thursday by his 32-year-old brother at Castello Housing Scheme, La Penitence, Georgetown during an argument about the victim’s girlfriend.
The injured man has been identified as Lawrence Fanfair, and the suspect as Rendell Vanrassum.
According to police, the shooting incident occurred at about 23:00hrs on Thursday at Lot 21 Castello Housing Scheme, La Penitence.
Police said that the brothers were arguing over a woman whom Fanfair shares a relationship with.
