Five heavily-armed bandits opened fire on a West Coast Demerara household late Wednesday night, killing a former sugar estate worker before calmly walking away.
Forty-seven-year-old Mohamed Kayan Baksh, of 128 West Meten-Meer-Zorg, was gunned down under his house at about 11:30 pm, as he was about to use the washroom. The police yesterday said five men from the West Demerara area are being questioned. The shooting was the latest in a series of deadly bandit attacks which began after the February 23 jail-break.
Baksh’s wife, two children and two other relatives, who were upstairs at the time, were forced to scurry for cover as the gunmen riddled the house with bullets.
