An Agricola, East Bank Demerara woman and her family are still awaiting answers from the Guyana Police Force on whether it will bear responsibility for her being wounded during a shootout between lawmen and two bandits.
It has been over two and a half months since Parmadai (only name), of 124 Caesar Street, Agricola, was shot and police initiated an internal investigation to determine whether she was hit by the police or the bandits. Both her family and residents of the area say it was the lawmen who were firing wildly during the encounter.
On July 11, Parmadai was in her hammock at home resting when she was shot twice; one bullet struck her in the buttocks and another struck her left hand. She was rushed to the Diamond Diagnostic Centre, were she was treated before being transferred to a private hospital for medical attention.
