A hunter who allegedly gunned down the husband of his ex-lover at Kilcoy, Corentyne last Thursday turned himself in at the Albion Police Station around 11:30 pm on Monday, accompanied by his father.
Ahmad Razack, 45, a cane harvester sustained a single gunshot wound to his right ear at close range and appeared to have died instantly. A post-mortem result proved that he died from shock and haemorrhage due to gunshot wounds.
Charges are likely to be laid against the suspect who went into hiding after committing the offence. Police have recovered his licensed shotgun that was used in the killing.
Razack’s wife Zulikha, 43, told Stabroek News that she and her husband left home on a bicycle around 4:45 pm to pick up bricks from her mother’s yard at `Kilcoy Back’ when the suspect pounced on them. She said “all I hear is a loud noise and at the same time me hear me husband shout ‘Bee’ [her nickname] and when me turn around me see me he fall to the ground. Smoke was coming out of his ear.”
She said before she could do anything, the suspect snatched her from behind and told her that he wanted the two of them “to go away far.” She said she was afraid that he would turn the gun on her so she agreed to go with him.
She said as he attempted to flee with her through an abandoned rice field behind the house – from where he apparently entered – he told her “ah gon carry yuh behind there and buss yuh belly.” The woman said he held onto her hand and dragged her to the back and said “ah gon shoot you and shoot meself. But me grab the gun and he try to tek it away from me. We start fuh scramble and roll pon de ground.”
She said her attacker rolled among some bushes and she took the opportunity to run but he pursued her and grabbed her hair. She jerked away and strands of her hair got entangled between his fingers.
She said he again threatened to shoot her and she told him to go ahead and “shoot me.” But as luck would have it, the hair in his hands prevented him from pulling the trigger. He then turned back and bolted through the rice field.
