At about 1350h. today, the police say that rice farmer Fyusa Hussain, 63 years, of Good Hope, ECD, had just parked his motor vehicle at Water Street, Georgetown, when he was confronted by two men, one of whom was armed with a firearm.
The perpetrators, police say demanded a bag with $2.5M that he had in his possession and Hussain resisted and was shot to his head in the process. The men then took away the bag with the money and escaped on a motor cycle.
Hussain has been admitted to hospital as the investigations continue.
