Police in Regional Division #4C are investigating the shooting of 27-year-old Ryan Joseph, a lab technician of Melanie Public Road, East Coast Demerara (ECD) and 29-year-old Bimal Versammy, also a lab technician, of Section ‘C’, Enterprise, ECD.
The incident occurred at about 20:00 hours at Lot 7 Melanie Public Road, ECD and involved three unidentifiable males (two armed with small handguns and the other, the driver of a silver HD series motorcar).
The police say that enquiries revealed that Joseph, Veersammy, and a third person were sitting in front of Joseph’s residence, when a silver Bluebird motorcar came from a western direction on the Melanie Public Road and stopped in front of the victims. Two masked men then exited the back seat of the car and opened fire on Joseph and Veersammy, causing them to flee.
