A 47-year-old man is currently at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), nursing
a gunshot wound to his left foot.
The victim, Glendon Cosbert, of 58 North Haslington , East Coast Demerara, was attacked yesterday around 8:00am after two men (name given) armed with guns, appeared in front of him (Cosbert) and his wife Nechel, demanding that he takes off his two chains.
According to his wife, they were returning home after a trip to the Golden Grove Market. She said that they decided to take a “short-cut” but they were confronted by the two bandits who demanded the chains.
The woman said that the two guys are residents in her village and she knows them very well.
“When we were going home, the two guys were in front of the Golden Grove playground and they come up to us with the gun. My husband was wearing two gold chains– one is 200 pennyweights and the other one is 75”.
“They come and point the gun. One of them who was standing at the back of Cosbert took off the chains and I catch it, while the one who was standing in front him shot him on his foot,” Nechel explained.
She added that after she caught the chains, she didn’t want to hand it over, and that, she said, angered the men and they were about to shoot her in her stomach, but her husband told her to give them the chains.
Up to press time, Cosbert was being treated in the Accident and Emergency Unit (A&E) of the Georgetown Public Hospital but no arrest has been made.
