A mechanic was yesterday shot to his left leg after being robbed of his gold chain at his Garnett Street, Newtown, Kitty home.
Glenford Primo, 47, was in surgery at the Georgetown Public Hospital last evening.
His wife Jacqueline explained that the robbery occurred around 12pm. She was upstairs, while her husband was alone in the vulcanizing shop he operates below. She said her husband had related to her that he was bending over to fix something when he felt a tug at his neck.
“He said he thought was a friend but when he get up he see is two men,” Jacqueline said.
The woman said her husband had put up a fight but the men managed to burst the chain off of his neck and afterwards shot him to his left leg. She further stated that they fired several more shots and she explained that even as the men made good their escape on a scooter, they were still firing at her husband.
The man’s wife stated that someone called the police, who arrived about 15 minutes later and transported Primo to the hospital.
