AFC/APNU bandits continue to wreak havoc leading up to the holiday season.

Looks like they robbed and the police catch them but the money "disappeared". Christmas bonus anyone?

Police nab armed suspects after Kissoon’s Furniture Outlet robbery

Three armed bandits yesterday held up four staffers and one customer at Kissoon’s Furniture Outlet and terrorized them for more than 10 minutes before escaping with an undisclosed sum of cash and other valuables.

The Kissoon’s outlet that was robbed yesterday.

The incident occurred at around 14:45 hrs at the company’s branch located on Main Street, Georgetown next door to Guyana Power and Light Company (GPL).
The police reported that a short while later Police anti-crime patrols responded to the report and the motor vehicle was intercepted in Middle Street, Georgetown, with three men inside who matched the descriptions of the perpetrators of the armed robbery.
They are in police custody assisting with the investigations.
According to reports, the men entered the outlet and pretended to be looking at furniture before pulling out their weapons. They escaped with half of the day’s sales and three phones.
The customer, Claude Blackmore, lost his cellular phone and more than $100,000 in cash. The men put their loot in the sales supervisor, Elizabeth Williams’s bag before escaping in a white Toyota 212 that was waiting outside the store.
None of the men were masked. The victims said that they seemed to be in their early 20s.
Blackmore said that he was sitting inside the outlet when he observed the three men walking into the store and looking at furniture.
“I look at them and say to myself that this ain’t looking normal. A little while later all three of them pulled out their weapons and instructed that nobody move. It had a Rasta man with a big gun, and two others, one mixed with Amerindian and they had two small guns,” Blackmore recalled.
He said that the men demanded everyone’s cellular phones. “He (one of the gunmen) come to me and asked for my phone and I tell he that my phone is what them li’l children call mango pelter, but he still pushed his hand in my pocket and collect the phone and money.”
“I tried to talk to them and tell them that it doesn’t worth it but they ignored me,” Blackmore stated.
According to one of the staffers, Alicia Hinds, one of the gunmen approached her and demanded her phone.
“I didn’t want to give him but then he come up to me and braced me with his gun and I gave him and he walked over to another girl (staff) and asked her for her phone too but she said that she can’t find her phone,” Hinds said.
She added that the men then went over to the sales supervisor and pushed her down on the floor when she told them that she didn’t have the keys to the vault.
“We don’t keep the keys here. When we reach a certain amount we would usually put the money in the vault and the security guards would come and pick it up,” Williams was heard telling a detective.
Kaieteur News was told that the gunmen robbed the entity a couple of minutes before the security guards were scheduled to pick up the cash.
Investigations are ongoing.

Even the afc/apnu supporters in the police involved in car jacking.

Cop confesses to carjacking

A serving member of the Guyana Police Force has reportedly confessed to being involved in a carjacking ring that relieved a taxi driver of his vehicle at gunpoint last month.
The rank and a woman were arrested yesterday and police have also recovered the stolen car.
“According to a release, “diligent investigations by the police led to the arrest of two suspects yesterday in connection with an armed robbery committed on a taxi-driver at Bachelor Adventure, East Coast Demerara, on November 28, 2015.
“The two men, one of whom is a serving member of the Guyana Police Force, have confessed to the armed robbery and are in police custody. Charges will be made shortly.
According to the release, the two suspects and a female accomplice had hired the taxi-driver from Mahaica Market for Bachelor’s Adventure where he was held at gunpoint and his car, cell phone and $18,000.00 taken away.
The stolen vehicle was recovered yesterday in the vicinity of the Stabroek Market where it was parked.
The keys were in the vehicle, and the stereo set was missing.

GDF Lance Corporal, 3 others arrested for illegal weapons

Police seem to be getting the upper hand. I hope this trend continues as we have seen an ease up in crime over the past few days. Could it be that the Granger administration is having some success where the PPP failed? Time will tell.

Police nab bandits after high speed chase across Berbice

As the recently implemented country wide Operation Dragnet continues across the country, the security forces continue to reap success even as the bandits seem to be more daring in their feats.
Four bandits are now in custody at various stations in Berbice, after robbing and assaulting a businesswoman at Liverpool Village, Corentyne.
According to information, around 09:30 hrs on Monday the 53-year-old woman, who operates a grocery store, was at her business, when a silver grey Toyota Premio car, HC 4442, with four men inside, stopped outside the premises.  Two of the men, one of whom had a bag with “a long object inside”, went into the shop and began to assault the woman while demanding cash and jewellery.
But the woman began to scream, and the panic-stricken robbers fled to their vehicle.
The police were alerted, and ranks, including those from the motor cycle Anti-Crime patrol, rushed to the scene.
But by then the men had fled.
Armed with a description of the getaway vehicle, the police quickly sent out an all stations message, alerting stations along the Corentyne, as well as the West Bank and West Coast of Berbice.
As the robbers headed towards New Amsterdam, an alert Police Corporal noticed the erratic way the vehicle was travelling and decided to stop the car.
When the vehicle stopped, one of the occupants hurriedly exited the car, dropped a bag and fled. He was however pursued and apprehended by the Corporal.
The bag was retrieved and an unlicenced sawn off 12-guage shotgun and six cartridges were found inside. The other three bandits took off again and upon reaching the entrance to the Berbice Bridge two more exited the car as they tried to board other vehicles.
However, they were nabbed at a police roadblock along the approach to the Berbice River Bridge, even though they had changed their attire.
Meanwhile, the driver headed towards Georgetown, but police kept up a relentless pursuit, while also setting up roadblocks along his intended path.
At Weldaad, the robber suspect reportedly drove through one of the roadblocks, sending police ranks scampering for cover.
He was however nabbed at another road block at Mahaicony, East Coast Demerara around 10:10 hrs.
The four men are assisting with the investigations.
The men, who are all known to the authorities gave conflicting statements to the police and are expected to be charged shortly.

Riverview man ID’d in eight armed robberies

A Riverview, Ruimveldt man has been identified as a suspect in eight armed robberies in various sections of the city.
Acting Crime Chief, Assistant Police Commissioner David Ramnarine, said that the 23-year-old was placed on identification parade, after he was arrested in connection with a recent robbery.
Ramnarine said the youth has been charged with eight counts of armed robbery.
The Acting Crime Chief described the cooperation of the victims as “a very good boost” for the Guyana Police Force.
“This is a welcomed development. Their cooperation is very much appreciated.”
The suspect was also remanded in May 2014 on armed robbery charges.
It is alleged that he had robbed Rishi Ramdani of a silver band, a BlackBerry cellular phone and cash totalling $100,000, while in Riverview.

Looks like their is no improvement under the afc/apnu when it comes to securing prisoners. They continue to escape police custody.

Murder suspects escape from Police Station

–    smash through concrete wall
Police were up to late yesterday still hunting for murder suspects Stafrei Hopkinson Alexander and Robin Maxwell Thomas, who staged a daring breakout from the Mackenzie Police Station.

STAFREI HOPKINSON ALEXANDER

Hopkinson and Thomas reportedly escaped by smashing a hole through a cell wall. The suspects, along with Aiden Bowen, of Blueberry Hill, Wismar, were charged for the April 4, 2015 murder of businesswoman Shevon Gordon, who was shot near her One Mile, Linden premises.
They were being held overnight at Mackenzie and were due to appear at the Christianburg Magistrate’s Court yesterday.
Aidien Bowen, their alleged accomplice, was in the same cell at the time. He appeared in court before Magistrate Clive Nurse, where his attorney, Gordon Gilhuys, alleged that his client was beaten by police ranks to provide details about the escape. He is said to have told police that he was asleep, and had no knowledge of the breakout.
While details of the escape are sketchy, there are reports that a rank may have allowed one of the escapees to use his cell phone.  It is unclear how many ranks were on duty at the time.
It is also unclear whether any of the ranks have been placed under close arrest in connection with the escape, though Acting Crime Chief, Assistant Police Commissioner David Ramnarine is convinced that “not enough vigilance was exercised” by the on-duty personnel.
Ramnarine told Kaieteur News that according to information, the ranks were in the Enquiries Office at around 02.00 hrs and when they checked the lockups they observed a hole in the concrete wall.
“For anyone to dig a hole in a concrete wall, is that they went in there with some instrument, and it sends a message that they were not searched, and that their cell was not searched,” he said.
“It is clear that there was a supervision problem and that enough vigilance was not exercised. I know that there will be an investigation.”
In all, four people have been charged with businesswoman Shevon Gordon’s murder.
Aiden Bowen, of Blueberry Hill, Wismar, Linden; Anthony Primo, 29, of 153 Laing Avenue, and Robin Maxwell Thomas, 22, of Lot 120 West Montrose, East Coast Demerara, had first appeared in court in May.

ROBIN MAXWELL THOMAS

Stafrei Hopkinson, 30, of Lot 129, Laing Avenue, West Ruimveldt, Georgetown, was arrested and charged with Gordon’s murder in November. He was also slapped with several armed robbery charges.
Yesterday, Shevon Gordon’s son, Devon, who was shot in the right leg during the attack on his mother, turned up at the court only to be told that the case was put down to February next year.
The slain woman’s husband, Fitzroy Elon Gordon, described the escape as “a set up”, and expressed concern for the safety of his son, who is the key witness in the matter.
“This is very serious and I’m very perturbed, I would like to see the Minister of Public Security, pay very keen interest in this matter.”
Gordon said that he heard of the men’s escape around 07.00 hrs yesterday. He said that while on the road at Mackenzie around 04.00 hrs, he saw two police ranks in a car and they said that they were looking for “two boys”.
He said that he did not take it too serious at the time, as it had never crossed his mind that the “two boys” were the same suspects in his wife’s murder.
“I want to see them brought to justice; when I was reminded about the court day yesterday, I said that at last something is going to happen – but I never expected this.”
Shevon Gordon was shot after she resisted two armed bandits who had accosted her after she stepped out of her truck. She was also relieved of a bag containing money.
The businesswoman was later pronounced dead on arrival at the Linden Hospital complex.
Anyone with information that may lead to the arrest of Stafrei Hopkinson Alexander and Robin Maxwell Thomas is asked to contact the police on telephone numbers 444-3406,
444-3274, 444-3512, 226-9941, 225-6411, 911 or the nearest police station.
All information will be treated with strict confidence.

Some policemen just got richer.

If this was the PPP in power there would be riots by aFC/APNU. Maybe it is best this way that the apnu is in power and can kill their own blacks with impunity.

Bandits killed in shootout.

December 9, 2015

 

Two bandits were shot dead early this morning in South Ruimveldt after approximately one hour of an exchange of gunfire with the police.

Gunshots were heard by residents just after 4am forcing them to run for cover.

Police were responding to a robbery in the South Ruimveldt area and were able to corner the men in an alley located in Congress Drive.

See Thursday’s edition of the Guyana Chronicle for the full report.

This is enough evidence that Granger should fire Ramjattan effective Dec 25/2015.

This is quite a turnaround from previous reactions of Blacks in Guyana. Previously they would claim police abuse, now they are praising the police.

Many came out praising the police for taking out the bandits. Three houses in the community were robbed last week, residents say (Delano Williams photo)

BANDITS KILLED – police hunting others who escaped dragnet

December 10, 2015

 

QUICK response by neighbours and the police resulted in the saving of lives, while two of four gunmen were not so lucky. They were shot dead early Wednesday morning in South Ruimveldt, Georgetown. The dead bandits were identified as 21-year-old Adgar Blackman and 22-year-old Sherwaine James called “Tu Pack”, both of Tucville, Georgetown. The other two men escaped.

According to the police, at about 04:00 hrs on Wednesday, ranks responded to a report of a robbery in progress at the home of 47-year-old Arlene McLean of Pioneer Lane, South Ruimveldt Park,
Four men, three of whom were armed with firearms, had broken into the home and held up Arlene Mc Lean and her sister Ann Marie Mc Lean and took away cash and a cellphone. On arrival at the scene the police came under fire from the perpetrators who were leaving the building at the time. The cops returned fire. During the confrontation, two of the men who were pursued by the police ran into a yard at Reliance Place, South Ruimveldt Park, and took cover behind a water tank from where they continued to engage the police.
During the exchange of gunfire they were shot by the police and later pronounced Dead on Arrival at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation.
The police recovered an unlicensed 9mm. Luger pistol with three matching rounds and an unlicensed .38 revolver with four matching rounds and two spent shells from the perpetrators.
The police said that the men were from a known gang which is involved in nefarious activities.
According to Assistant Registrar for Exams at the University of Guyana Arlene Mc Lean, the bandits came into her house forcefully through the glass door on the veranda.
“I put up a fight as they were pushing the glass door to come in, I received injuries to my face when one of them came in and pulled out a gun,” she lamented.
RUMMAGED
She said money and jewellery were stolen as the four bandits rummaged her house. Two other occupants inside the house were not injured.
In commending the police for catching at least two of the culprits, Mc Lean said the police were very helpful and she gave a statement and submitted a medical report to the station also.
Meanwhile, other reports revealed that neighbours noticed men scaling the fence at 15-16, Reliance Place, South Ruimveldt minutes after 04:00 hrs Wednesday.
They promptly made contact with the police who arrived minutes later. One of the bandits was standing on the roof of a duck pen in the yard while two others were looking for an entrance into the home and another acted as look-out in an alleyway.
At home at the time were 53-year-old Paul Morrison, who is a lecturer at the Government Technical Institute and his three children. Upon the arrival of the police, the bandits began shooting in their direction and back-up arrived swiftly cordoning off the area. However, unconfirmed reports say two of the bandits managed to escape the dragnet set by the police, but two others were left inside the yard where Mr Morrison lived.
CORNERED
Cornered, the two bandits released several shots in the air calling for Morrison to open the back door of his house,but to no avail. As the police closed in, the men desperately began looking around for an escape route, something which was not available at the time. The men took refuge in a black water tank that was on the lower half of a trestle.
“I heard a set of gun shots then the place got quiet,” Morrison told this publication. “After the shooting I went outside and I gave the police a cutlass to cut open the water tank.”
Police retrieved a 9MM and a .38 handgun from the scene.
Cheers of approval echoed after the bodies were removed from Mr Morrison’s yard. Some were shouting words of congratulations to the law-enforcement officers at the scene. However, police encouraged persons to stay in their homes as they combed the area looking for the other bandits.
Meanwhile, Morrison, who is a trained teacher, told this publication that he recognised the “brown skin man” who was shot by police as someone who had trailed him home last Wednesday.
Vividly recalling what happened, Morrison said last Wednesday he was in Gordon Street, Kitty checking on a piece of land that someone was trying to take away from him using illegal methods.
Recalling the scenario, Morrison said he knew the man was tailing him because he(Morrison) made many turns and detours on his way home and the same man who was shot, was riding a CG motorcycle. He followed him home, stopping to see where he lived
Other residents in the area disclosed that for the past week three houses were robbed in the neighbourhood and it was a relief that the bandits were removed.
One woman said around 04:40 hrs, she heard a barrage of bullets then 30 seconds after single shots, “and that is when they kill them, people getting rob too often, is about time some mother sit and talk to their children about finding work and stop robbing people, the government not allowing lawlessness no more, that’s a thing of the past”.

Some of Tu Pac relatives are speaking out though.

‘I can’t swear for him’ – says mother of dead robbery suspect

December 10, 2015

FORTY-Two- year-old Dian Blackman, the mother of dead robbery suspect Edgar Blackman, said that she will not swear for her son as she is never with him 24/7 and was not with him early yesterday morning when bandits who were cornered chose to engage in a shootout with Police at Pioneer Lane, South Ruimveldt.Speaking with the Guyana Chronicle at her Lot 98 Tucville home yesterday afternoon, the woman said, however, that efforts should have been made by the Police to bring her son in alive since she was told that he was not armed at the time he was shot by ranks, but she reiterated that she was not there.

Dead bandit 21-year-old Edgar Blackman

“I never saw him with a weapon, with respect to the shooting this morning (yesterday) I do not know if he was in any illegal activity when he was shot by the Police, I was not there so I do not have any idea,” the woman told this newspaper.
Speaking about her son’s activities, the woman said that he had no children and was up to the time of his death working with one of the sub-contractors executing the cleanup campaign around Georgetown.
Blackman said that she last saw her son on Tuesday while she was leaving for the Georgetown Public Hospital to visit her daughter who recently gave birth. She said further that she did not see him again that day even when she got home in the evening.
This publication was told by the woman that she too works with a sub-contractor in the city cleanup and is stationed at Le Repentir. Asked how she knew about his death, the mother said that she was at home yesterday morning when one of the young man’s close friends passed by and informed that there was a shootout in South Ruimveldt and he was told that Edgar had been shot and killed but he could not confirm that information.
The woman said that she immediately began ringing her son’s phone but received no answer. She then went to the Georgetown Public Hospital to look for him but he was not there and she turned up at Lyken Funeral Parlour but was unable to find his body. Subsequently, she returned to the hospital where she saw her son’s body in the morgue.
Asked what her son was doing on the road in the wee hours, the woman explained that he would sometimes leave his home to visit his girlfriend some distance away. She then acknowledged that her son had been picked up by the Police recently and held for questioning in relation to a robbery. He was held for the stipulated 72 hours and released without any charges. Asked if she ever noticed her son with a firearm, she responded in the negative.
POLICE HAD NO RIGHT
Meanwhile, a brother of Edgar Blackman said that he is not of the view that his brother should have been shot by the Police since he was not carrying a weapon and “he was hiding in a black tank”.
Chris Carroll said: “The Police had no right to shoot my brother, he did not shoot, he was in a black tank. I never know him to be involved in any illegal activities.”
Carroll said that unlike his mother, he did see his brother at home late yesterday but the young man left before his mother returned. He said that his brother was walking out of the house at about 18:00hrs on Tuesday evening wearing a black pants, white jersey, black cap and a pair of slippers.
Meanwhile, when this publication arrived at the lot 6 Tucville Reserve home of 22-year-old Sherwaine James, also known as “2Pac”, the other suspect who was killed in the gunfight with Police, the teary-eyed relatives slammed their gates and refused reporters entry to their property.
RELATIVES DEFENSIVE
The relatives said that they were not willing to speak with the media on the issue and the reporters should approach the home of the persons who claimed that the young men were robbing them. The family also called for the head of the Police ranks that shot and killed the suspect, saying that the young man was not involved in any illegal activities.
The relatives called on the Police who shot the two young men to come forward and meet the relatives of the two young men and offer some form of explanation as to what really transpired.
The bandits yesterday morning were cornered after they had broken into a woman’s home and carried out a robbery, taking away a few items. The Police were informed and raced to the area and while reports suggested that three others got away, the two who were fatally shot had engaged in an exchange of gunfire with the Police. Police are said to be investigating the matter and are looking for the other suspects who managed to escape.
The Police recovered an unlicensed 9mm Luger pistol with 3 matching rounds and an unlicensed .38 revolver with 4 matching rounds and 2 spent shells from the perpetrators.

However when the crime victims are Indians, the police are no where to be found.

Bandits beat, rob Meten-Meer -Zorg family

Could this be the turn around in crime that we have been hoping for?

Let us keep our fingers crossed as investing will go up as crimes go down. More visitors to the country due to perception of low crime will spell economic revival. 

Serious crimes have decreased

December 13, 2015

Let us hope for a turn around even though the statistics is saying otherwise. Hopefully the Black government in power can order their Black police to aggressively go after the criminals, Black, Indian or otherwise. They don't have to fear any rioting by the PPP supporters as they are mostly the victims. 

Serious crimes jump by 9% – Police

Why all the criminals are BLACKS, they are more brazen under the PNC government.

Passenger shoots bus driver in back

Cattle farmer found dead

–  after firing employee amid threats

Police are investigating the circumstances, which led to the death of a West Coast Berbice (WCB) cattle farmer in the backdam on Tuesday afternoon.

Edward Pestano

Dead is Edward Pestano, 61, of Number 40 Village, WCB, Region Five (Mahaica-Berbice).
Reports are that Pestano was in the backdam with his 12-year-old grandson when he observed that one of the employees at his cattle ranch was reportedly smoking an illegal substance. The farmer immediately fired the worker and asked him to leave the ranch.

According to information reaching this publication, a heated argument ensued between Pestano and the fired employee, who demanded immediate pay for the days he had already worked. During the argument, the employee reportedly threatened to harm Pestano’s family and burn the cattle ranch. This newspaper was told that the irate man had also threatened to poison Pestano’s animals.

The fired employee was later seen leaving the ranch, but soon after returned. At the time, Pestano was on his motorbike.
Details of what transpired are sketchy; however, the fired employee was seen riding behind Pestano. Moments later, his grandson found him lying on the ground with his motorbike resting on him. The 12-year-old tried desperately to remove the heavy bike, but was unable to do so, this newspaper was told.

He left the scene and went in search of help, returning within the hour, but by the time help arrived, Pestano is said to have passed away.

The Police were summoned and arrived at the scene before night fall and took possession of the body.
They are on the hunt for the fired employee, who has since gone into hiding.

An autopsy is expected to be performed on the body today.

Meanwhile, Pestano leaves to mourn four children and his wife, Rita Pestano. Two years ago, one of Pestano’s sons died in a road accident while another son died by drowning in 1986.

Market vendor shot in failed robbery attempt

Armed bandits rob Region 6 Chairman’s business

Two men, one armed and one masked have robbed a sand and lumber yard owned by Region Six Chairman David Armogan.
The incident took place on Wednesday at Number 2 Village, Canje, Region Six (East Berbice/Corentyne).

Reports are that about 12:30h, two men entered the lumber yard and went directly to the office. At the time, the cashier, 58-year-old Boarof was the only person in the office. As the robbers entered the building, two shots were discharged from the hand gun one of them was carrying.

Boarof was ordered to hand over all of the money from the cash draw. After a little hesitation which was followed by threats to his life, the cashier complied and gave the men the day’s sales which amounted to $152,000.

The men quickly left on foot and disappeared into the nearby community. The Police were summoned and took evidence from the scene which might lead to the capture of the perpetrators. However, up to press time, no arrests have been made.
Investigations continue.

Man shot by bandit trying to steal car

A 50-year-old shopkeeper was left in a critical condition at around 01.00 hrs yesterday, after being shot outside his Melanie, East Coast Demerara business place, allegedly by a bandit who was trying to steal his car.
Nursing a gunshot wound to his abdomen and listed as critical is father of five Lebert Thomas, of Lot 125 Cummings Street, Buxton.
At press time, he was still attached to a life support machine in the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation.
Hospital sources said that the bullet entered Thomas’s abdomen and exited his back, damaging some of his organs.
Kaieteur News understands that the robber was trying to make off with Thomas’ vehicle and opened fire when the shopkeeper did not comply.
Jennifer Griffith, Thomas’ fiancée, told Kaieteur News that Thomas was outside of his shop, known as ‘Frontline Shop’, located at Lot 326 Melanie Cinema road, East Coast Demerara when the bandit attacked him.
“He had closed up the place and was heading to his car when his mother heard what she believed to be a firecracker, but she ran outside after hearing her son’s cries for help.”

Lebert Thomas standing next to the car that the robbers tried to take away before he was shot.

On going outside his mother, Yvonne Isaacs,
saw her son holding his shirt “and he said I just got shot, then he fell down.”
A passerby stopped to render assistance but when he stopped a car, the driver reportedly refused to put the bleeding man in his vehicle.
Thomas was eventually taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital in his own car.
“I’m so saddened and sick of the crime situation that is plaguing the country,” his fiancée said.
It is just heartbreaking and more needs to be done to fight these trigger happy robbers. We need more patrols on the East Coast.”
The woman also revealed that this is the sixth time that Thomas has been robbed in the same location.
“He has been shot twice and stabbed a total of four times on several occasions at or near the same location, plus he has a bullet lodged in his hip from being robbed at the same location too.”
“On other occasions he was robbed of jewellery and cash but while persons were questioned for the first robbery no one was ever charged or prosecuted.”

Shot bus driver who saved passengers from robbery attack dies

By Mondale Smith

‘An unsung hero’ because of his nature, Jermaine Allister Burrowes when confronted with a gun, not only lost his kidney, but has paid the ultimate price days after he saved passengers from being robbed.
Burrowes, who was shot last Tuesday night by one of two armed bandits during an attempted robbery at Liliendaal, East Coast Demerara (ECD) succumbed to his injuries on Saturday night in the Intensive Care Unit of the GPHC.
Barrow, 38, was shot during an attempted robbery on persons in the vehicle that he was driving along the Liliendaal Railway Embankment.
Burrowes was shot around 22:00 hrs, shortly after he had picked up passengers at the Giftland Mall at Liliendaal. He managed to drive his vehicle for a short distance before veering into a trench at Blygezeight Gardens, ECD.
Reports are that after picking up passengers at the mall, a man flagged down Burrowes’ vehicle. When he stopped, another appeared at the driver’s side of the mini bus.
One of Burrowes’ passengers suspected that the two men were robbers and pulled the door shut, preventing the man from entering the bus.

At that point, the bandit, who was at the driver’s side pointed a gun at Burrowes and shot him. The bullet entered his back and exited his right side abdomen.
With passengers screaming and telling Burrowes to drive, the wounded man continued in the direction of Georgetown, before losing control of his vehicle and ending up in a trench.
When Kaieteur News visited his Lot 53 West Road Sparandaam home yesterday, the building was shut tight, but neighbors of the slain man had only good things to say about him.
“Jermaine was an angel who always was helping others and me never once hear he in a argument for his entire life living next door,” Sukhai Singh, a neighbor said.
“This news hit me so hard I can’t even eat since this thing happened. I will really miss him because me know he from since he small,” added Singh.
“He was a cool and very easy going person,” said another neighbor as she shook her head in disbelief.
Burrowes’ sisters, Abena  Bagott and Petal Burrowes, recalled their brother as being humble, jovial and hardworking.
Other relatives expressed hope that “the current system, administration will do something about the spate of criminality to prevent others from suffering such an unfortunate end and to assist with funeral arrangement as well as provide some amount of counseling for those hurting.”
“We wouldn’t wish this on anyone including our enemies.”
He has a small daughter who resides in the Caribbean and he is a foster father of one other.
His demise comes as a major blow to his siblings, who lost their father on March 19, 2014 and their mother passed away on March 17 this year.
The attack on Thomas occurred a day after bandits robbed passengers in the same area. However, only one passenger reported the robbery.
Police have since increased patrols in the area.

Corruption in Public Office… Brassington and others should be charged without delay- Robert Badal

Days after a telling audit report recommended charges against senior officials and for the National Industrial

Robert Badal

and Commercial Investments Limited (NICIL) to be closed down, prominent businessman, Robert Badal, is calling for action.
The forensic audit into the controversial unit which handled privatizations and a number of questionable projects was conducted by former Auditor General, Anand Goolsarran. It is set to be considered by the Cabinet of Ministers today.
Under fire is NICIL’s head, Winston Brassington, under whose watch several state assets were sold. A number of projects like the Berbice Bridge and the Marriott Hotel are but two of the projects that are currently under scrutiny.
According to Badal, who owns the iconic Pegasus Hotel and a host of other businesses, Brassington and others should be charged without delay.
Below is the statement as issued by Mr. Badal:
The findings of the recently released report of the forensic audit of NICIL disclosed massive fraud, misuse of public resources, sale of state assets at highly under- valued prices, diversion of billions of taxpayers’ resources away from the Consolidated Fund outside of Parliamentary oversight, but under the control of one man subject to the direction of a political elite.
All the transgressions revealed in this audit were executed by the CEO of NICIL, Winston Brassington and his Deputy, Marcia Nadir-Sharma, without any regard for adhering to even the most elementary norms of transparency, accountability and due process.
Wherever any due process was followed it was flawed, rigged or manipulated. Valuations were influenced or pre-determined, buyers were pre-selected before the process. In all cases the transferees in the transactions were friends of the ruling elite or nominees thereof. This resulted in massive kickbacks and looting of state assets.

Pressure mounting: Winston Brassington

The sale to Movietowne and others at G$15M. per acre of land at Liliendaal which would otherwise attract more that G$200M.per acre; giving control of the Berbice Bridge to a politically connected group who subscribed less than 10% of its capital; transfer of ownership of 30% shareholding in GT&T to a Chinese company without receiving full payment, were all examples of flagrant fraud and corruption against the state and people of Guyana.
Spending more than US$60M.on the Marriott Hotel without any or any proper economic or feasibility study or in the face of Parliamentary approval constitutes the most lawless abuse of public office.
Winston Brassington was allowed unrestricted control of all of NICIL’s business because he was answerable only to one person who directed all of these nefarious and clandestine deals- the most powerful authority at the Office of the President.
The Board of NICIL and Cabinet was only a rubber stamp for all the corrupt deals hatched and incubated at the Office of the President and private rooms at a popular city Chinese restaurant.
From corrupt real estate deals, to state contracts for overpriced and sometimes expired drugs and infrastructural projects to radio and TV licences and internet assets, there was a massive heist of public resources by a few.
Those who opposed the lack of accountability and transparency were harassed, intimidated and victimized.  Licences and permits for their businesses were denied or delayed.
This was a sad period of bad governance in our country’s history which the people of Guyana have voted to change. The current public outcry demanding charges and consequent conviction of Winston Brassington is well founded. There is a high level of expectation, even impatience that the Government must institute charges without further delay.
Such charges do not require cabinet approval or instruction. The intention of the forensic audit was to determine what went wrong and who was responsible. Massive fraud and corruption was revealed. It is therefore time to act.
It is the Minister of Finance under whose portfolio NICIL falls who must now instruct the Police to institute fraud and other criminal charges against Mr. Brassington, his assistants, and those who directed their actions.
In all parts of the world public officials are charged and jailed for corruption and misuse of state assets, in most cases, for a mere fraction of the acts committed by Mr. Brassington. The Government must usher in a new political culture that ensures that all such acts are punished in order to restore confidence in Government.
I am confident that President Granger would direct such action if he has not already done so, but every day that passes sees the tremendous goodwill for the new administration being quickly dissipated.
Unless the administration seizes the day, public perceptions may turn frustration into suspicion that the inactivity is deliberate, with serious consequences. Already, persons are muttering that Guyana has not had a true change, but only an ‘exchange’.

Thank you for posting on this topic, however next time please only post real crimes, not unproven accusations. 

More to come as this story develops. Looks like a setup.
