A 23-year-old Sophia labourer was fatally shot on Sunday night after he resisted the efforts of two men to rob him of his motorcycle in front of his home.
One of the men was apprehended minutes later by public-spirited citizens and the motorcycle was recovered.
Dead is Alwin Griffith of Lot 632 ‘A’ Field, South Sophia.
The young man’s sister, Lincy Wilson, told Stabroek News that nothing was taken from her brother but his newly purchased motorcycle, which the bandits were after.
