Six armed bandits stormed the home of popular businessman Deoram Woarti of Lot 2, Seawell Turn, Corentyne at about 3:00 am Friday morning.

“Me big son seh don’t do we nothing. Then a shot fire and meh lil son try fah hide but them push de room door and drag he out.”
Woarti disclosed to Kaieteur News that they were beaten with a cutlass and a piece of wood by three of the bandits who demanded that they hand over cash and jewellery.
