The suspect who was hospitalised after the shooting incident at Chateau Margot on Tuesday, was discharged from the Georgetown Hospital yesterday.
Heavily armed police officers escorted Victor Bobb, who had a red blanket covering his face, out of the hospital compound.
Bobb was allegedly part of a gang of men that invaded the L&D Shopping Centre and killed businessman Dennis Ramah. He was taken to the Sparendaam Police Station for questioning. Kaieteur News understands that charges are likely to be laid soon.
Meanwhile, the other suspect who was captured is still in police custody at the Beterverwagting police station. Quincy Arthur, according to police sources, is a well known character.
The dead bandit up to press time had not been identified.
Police sources said that they are hoping that a surveillance tape captured the features of some of the escaped bandits. Kaieteur News was told that the ranks went back to the Ramahs home and watched the tape.
Rural Constable, Davenand Shymaraj, was also shot and is still recovering at a private hospital. Shymaraj was shot as he bravely tried to stop the fleeing bandits. He was shot in the leg and hand.
Daniel Muller, 76, of Success, East Coast Demerara, was hit by a stray bullet. Muller, according to his wife Subhajai, was returning from clinic when the incident happened. The elderly man is still a patient in the Georgetown Public Hospital.
The brazen daylight robbery left the businessman and one of his attackers dead.
The businessman’s son, Nigel, had told Kaieteur News that around 09:30 hours on Tuesday a man entered his father’s business place, L&D Shopping Centre, posing as a customer.
He said that the man ordered a “chip” from an employee and as she was attending to the “customer”, four other men entered the supermarket.
He said that two of the men then held the employees at gunpoint and ordered them to lie face down on the floor, while the other three went upstairs.
While in the businessman’s home, Ramah said that his mother, Lorine Ramah, was held at gunpoint and was ordered by one of the gunmen to hand over cash and jewellery. He said that his mother directed the men to a cupboard in the kitchen.
“Meh mother tell dem de money in de cupboard in de kitchen, fuh try fuh distract them,” the son explained.
It was while in the kitchen, that his father entered the house with a cutlass and attacked one of the gunmen from behind. He stated that the gunman was chopped on his back. One of the man’s accomplices then shot Dennis Ramah in the chest.
