NUMBER SIXTY VILLAGE, CORENTYNE – An overseas-based Guyanese couple was robbed at gunpoint by two men on the Corentyne on Tuesday. Two persons have been detained and are assisting police with the investigation.
Word from the police is that 62-year old Thakur Dyal Ramphal and his 60-year-old wife Drupattie Ramphal were just about to leave their home when they were confronted by two intruders.
The couple, who reside in the United States of America, arrived in Guyana on November 20 and would spend their days at their Lot 26 Section ‘B’ Number Sixty Village, Corentyne home. At nights they sleep at a neighbour’s home.
They were just about to exit the front door some time between 18:30 and 19:00 hours when a masked individual with a handgun and an unmasked man with a cutlass attacked them.
Police reports so far indicate that the intruders forced them back into the house and dealt the husband several cuffs and kicks while they commanded them to hand over their cash and jewelry.
The one carrying the gun relieved Drupattie Ramphal of the jewelry she was wearing – eight gold bangles, one gold chain with a pendant and a diamond ring in addition to $400,000.
His accomplice robbed Thakur Dyal Ramphal of US$400 and $15,000 along with his gold and diamond wedding band.
The bandits then took the couple about 300 feet to the back yard where they ordered them to lie under a tamarind tree. After the men escaped from the scene police were summoned.
The probe is ongoing.
