A man who was reportedly beaten after he allegedly attempted to rob a female on Monday at her Silver Hill, Soesdyke/Linden Highway grocery shop, succumbed to his injuries at about 1.40 am yesterday at the Diamond Diagnostic Centre.
In a statement yesterday, the police said that the man has been identified as Daniel Jermaine Forde, 22, of 759 ‘B’ Field Sophia, Georgetown.
The police say that investigations revealed that the 36-year-old shopkeeper was operating her business when Forde – armed with a cutlass – entered and demanded money. She raised an alarm and he began to chop at her shop grill and also damaged a flat-screen television by which time persons arrived, disarmed and apprehended him. In that process, Forde was said to have suffered injuries before being handed over to the police who promptly escorted him for medical treatment, the statement said.
No one has been detained.
