An elderly Corentyne hardware store proprietor was discovered dead after bandits invaded his No.70 village home yesterday morning around 10:30 AM.
Dead is 79-year-old Abdul Majid. Majid was found in his store, located in the same yard, with his feet tied. After he was found, he was rushed to the Skeldon Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
This latest death will pile pressure on the police to get a handle on the crime situation, days after another elderly Corentyne businessman was murdered.
Majid’s wife was also terrorised by the bandits. The armed men robbed her of US$2000, $130,000 cash
