A Bush Lot Village, West Coast Berbice butcher shop was torched late Friday night in an attack that its owners believe was politically-motivated.
The destruction of the shop, which was owned by APNU+AFC coalition supporters Jamal and Latchmin Azeez, prompted President David Granger to voice his concern yesterday about “civil violence” in Region Five (Mahaica-Berbice) and condemn acts of hostility against innocent citizens.
Both the fire service and police have launched an investigation.
