Fyuse Hossein, the rice farmer who was shot in a robbery last Friday, has been discharged from the private hospital where he was being treated.
The man’s wife, Omeela Hossein, had told Stabroek News earlier in the week that her husband was recovering slowly. His condition was initially listed as critical. Hossein had said they had just withdrawn money from Scotiabank and were going to pay their phone bill when her husband was attacked. After parking on Water Street, Georgetown, she said, her husband was exiting with the bag when the men attacked him.
The bandits demanded the bag, which contained $2.5 million in cash, but the man resisted and was shot to his head. The men took the bag and escaped on a motorcycle, the police said in a press release.
