Kaieteur News – A Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL) contractor was lashed to the face with a gun and robbed of his wallet containing $160,000 and his cellular phone by a man who approached him for job at the company’s East Bank Demerara (EBD) location on Wednesday.
Police identified the victim as 51-year-old Hayment Hardin of Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara (ECD).
