A couple of 49 Adelphi, East Canje was gun-butted and broadsided with a cutlass after two bandits broke into their home around 1:15 am today and carted off cash and jewellery totaling over $200,000.
Drupaul Itwaroo, 49, called ‘Doka’ and his wife, Phulmatie Itwaru, 47, had to be treated at the New Amsterdam Hospital for their injuries.
Drupaul received stitches to his forehead for a wound that he suffered from the butt of a “long gun.” One of his fingers was also slashed after he tried to wrest the cutlass away from one of the bandits.
The masked bandits gained access to the house by smashing two louvre windows in the couple’s bedroom. One of them then fired a shot in the air after Phulmatie started screaming upon seeing them.
They demanded cash and jewellery and took them to the lower flat of the house. They fired another shot in the air after the door took a while to open and to ward off the neighbours.
They also proceeded to beat the couple after they did not get ‘enough.’
