A Corentyne pastor is now nursing injuries after he was beaten by three bandits who invaded his home during the wee hours of Thursday morning. 

Pastor Kalyan Etwaru, also known as ‘Rohan,’ of Lot 12 B Letter Kenny, Corentyne, who is also a secondary school teacher, was on Thursday morning rushed to the Port Mourant Hospital for injuries sustained during the attack. He has since received medical attention and was told to rest due to the injuries to his back. Etwaru explained that on Thursday morning he heard a glass break and when he checked he saw two masked men, one armed with a gun and another with a cutlass, in the lower flat of his house. “They ask me for the keys to the church… they wanted the money box,” he said.
