CANU deputy head executed

Second in command of the Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU), Vibert Inniss, was gunned down early yesterday morning when he stopped to purchase newspapers at Buxton on the East Coast Demerara.

It was another blow to the government’s efforts at controlling a crime splurge and is likely to put further pressure on it to take decisive action.

Inniss had left his Melanie Damishana home, just a few villages away, sometime after 6 am and was in his car, PHH 6436, parked in front of the vendor’s shop when he was shot.
