Navindra Samaroo, the youth who was fatally shot at Middle Road, La Penitence on Thursday, died due to internal haemorrhaging, an autopsy has found.
Samaroo’s mother, Dalini Shivcharran, told Stabroek News that the post-mortem examination, which was conducted yesterday, showed that he was shot once to the arm. However, because the bullet didn’t exit Samaroo’s body, it deflected into his chest and severed an artery.
Shivcharran noted that the family is hoping that the person responsible is apprehended and taken before the courts as the family wants justice.
Meanwhile, Commander of Region 4 (a) Philip Azore confirmed to this newspaper yesterday afternoon that no arrests had been made as yet but the investigation is ongoing.
Samaroo, 23, of 59 West La Penitence, Georgetown, was shot and killed in a suspected robbery that took place in broad daylight on Thursday. A bag that was in his possession was taken during the course of the crime. The youth’s father had explained that his son left work to run some errands and pick up lunch, and the attack occurred while he was on his way back to work.
