At about 9.10 pm on Friday three men, two of whom were armed with handguns, attacked and robbed patrons and staff of the bar located on David Street, Kitty, Georgetown. The men were not masked and later escaped in a waiting Toyota Carina AT 192.
During the robbery, Singh, 35, of Cummings Lodge, East Coast Demerara (ECD), was shot to her head and reportedly died on the spot. Jason Montgomery, a 36-year-old Australian national; and Ronald Dhanraj, 39, of Ogle, ECD, were shot and injured. Montgomery remained in stable condition in the High Dependency Unit of the Georgetown Public Hospital up to late yesterday afternoon.
Stabroek News could not ascertain the condition of Dhanraj.
His relatives have refused to comment.
Meanwhile, a senior police source had told this newspaper a hidden security camera in the bar recorded the robbery. Initially, the source had said, much could not be gleaned from the footage because of the poor quality. However, a specialist has since “cleaned up” the recording and valuable information has been gathered, the source had reported.
