As the police continue investigations into the shooting of an East Bank Demerara resident, who was robbed on Church Street shortly after leaving a city bank on Thursday, camera footage from the vicinity will be checked.
Sunil Ramesh, 37, was hit once to his shoulder and once to his abdomen after he screamed when a gun was placed to his wife’s neck by one of the robbers.
He remained a patient at a city hospital up to yesterday and was listed as in a stable medical condition.
“We pulled up in the car across from GT&T [the Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company Church Street Branch] and I feel something cold to my neck and the man with the gun pull my bag saying same time ‘Give me that bag’ … my husband look over and see the gun and shout out and he move the gun from me and he shoot he two times,” Tina Ramesh had told Stabroek News.
Crime Chief Seelall Persaud told Stabroek News that police ranks were scheduled to return to a nearby business to obtain camera footage and view those for clues which would help find the perpetrators.
