Grenade thrown at sawmiller’s home

Jun 07, 2011 News

Police were yesterday still trying to ascertain who threw a grenade at the home of a well-known West Coast Demerara sawmiller.
Kaieteur News understands that the device, identified as fragmentation grenade, was hurled at the businessman’s Crane, West Coast Demerara property shortly after midnight on Sunday.
The front door and some windows were damaged but no one was injured.
Police officials said that this incident is the most recent attack on the businessman’s properties.
Kaieteur News understands that fires were recently set at the man’s sawmill and at his home.
Police have received information that the incident seems to stem from an ongoing feud between the sawmiller and another West Coast Demerara resident.
According to police officials, the businessman says he believes he is being targeted by a former employee, whom he fired about six weeks ago, following thefts at his sawmill.
But police said that the former employee has alleged that a relative of the businessman and other men abducted him last month.
It is alleged that the man was at home when four men forced their way into the premises and said they were arresting him for a recent robbery. The former employee claimed the men pushed him into a dark-coloured vehicle, took him to a sawmill, and beat him into a state of unconsciousness.
He was then stripped naked and dumped into a trench in West Bank Demerara.
A senior police official said that police are to seek legal advice in connection with the allegations the men have made against each other.
