Armed bandits rob overseas-based Guyanese at #73 Village

The house where the robbery occurred

Two bandits armed with guns yesterday morning robbed an overseas-based Guyanese and her relatives in the Upper Corentyne Area.

Shamwattie Naipaul, 58, an overseas-based Guyanese of Number 73 Village, Corentyne, explained that she along with several other relatives returned to Guyana for her brother’s funeral.

On Sunday evening, after attending the wake, she asked her son, also an overseas-based Guyanese, to drop her home along with a few others where they had something to eat and retired to bed.
