A Wakenaam businessman died today shortly after he was shot by a gunman on Robb and Alexander streets, Georgetown during an attempted robbery.

He has been identified by the police as twenty-six-year-old Mahendra Persaud. The incident occurred around 11:15 hours.

Persaud was shot once to the chest and was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) where he was pronounced. The gunman and another managed to escape on a CG motorcycle.

At the time of the incident, Persaud was visiting Georgetown to transact business for his family who reportedly own a general store.

According to reports, Persaud had just exited a city store located at the corner of Regent and Alexander streets when he was attacked by two gunmen, one of whom was armed with a firearm.

The men reportedly cornered him and demanded a bag containing an undisclosed amount of cash as he exited the store. However, Persaud resisted and a scuffle ensued between him and the bandits during which he was shot to the chest.

A licenced firearm holder who was in the vicinity at the time fired several shots at the suspects who managed to escape.

Investigations are ongoing.

How come since 1992 no one who committed murder was hanged or sentences to die for such a crime and the sentence carried out.

everyone knows that when hoyte introduced the death penalty killings stopped in GY.

Crime is out of control, not only in Guyana but also here in Toronto. Everyday we hear of another shooting another death and it seems mostly youth on youth. I am in agreement there has to be a deterrent, this cannot continue.

Why would anyone invest in a country where the chance of meeting your maker before you even packed your suitcase is a possibility.

It would be prudent for the Minister responsible to get his ass in front of the media with his plans on handling this epidemic.

The death penalty was not enforced.  However, it remains a law on the law books.  It was never abolished.

True, during the death penalty time, you could walk around in relative safety. criminals back then wouldn't take the chance to do the shit they do nowadays. Back then the trap door used to fly fast at D'urban and John St. I could tell u this because  I live near D'urban and Lime st.  where  the Texaco gas station used to be.
Dat place is getting sicker by the day.

But the criminals would get released before they reach the trapdoor so the death penalty would not matter!!!

If what you're saying is true, then I must say that  I'm a bit surprised that no one bothered to enforce it with all the senseless killings that has been going on.
What going on here?

Back then, none of that ever happened. When it was time for those guys to swing, they did. You're starting to sound like Paul. Careful now.

As of December 31, 2014, there were 26 prisoners on death row awaiting hanging. The death penalty in Guyana has existed since colonial times. It was abolished at one time but President Desmond Hoyte's administration re-introduced it. Studies have shown that the death penalty does not reduce violent crimes that result in murder. The Guyana experience proves that. There are more murders now than there were in the 1960s when hanging in the Camp Street jail was prevalent. The criminals know that 26 prisoners are currently awaiting hanging but they are still not afraid of the consequences of killing people.

SHEIK BHAI, IS ALMOST ONE YEAR NOW, WHY THE pnc DONT ENFORCE IT???   Should we wait another 4 years???

In all fairness, Nehru. Why didn't the PPP enforce it? They had all the time to do so didn't they.
I read somewhere on this forum that it was Jagdeo who abolished the death penalty. don't know If this is true. on this board, it's hard to tell fact from fiction.

The only one who pardoned convicted child murderers was Ramotar. He's not there anymore so no more convicted murderers will be pardoned.

Bhai i mentioned many times "bring back the hangman"

We should not be about killing people. It is not a deterrent. Catching the hooligans and proper processing for a conviction and a long duration behind bars is more a deterrent.

Georgetown is small with very few outlets. If we had on the street block patrols with radios and patrol cars on the move with a good crime reporting system, this would not happen. We have a poor compromised police force and the criminals have the upper hand.

I also thinks that's not the route to be taken [i called out a few times,it should be back,maybe out of frustration]

The criminals have no regard for life,they set a house on fire killing two occupants,shot another in a robbery incident,what message should be sent to these predators,on a daily basis they kill,damn take what you want and leave.Too much guns in the wrong hands some moles needed to infiltrate these scums to rat them out.
