Bandits gave a US-based Guyanese a brutal welcome to her homeland, assaulting and robbing her of over $4M in cash and jewellery and stabbing her fiancée at around 02: 30 hrs yesterday.
Jermaine D’andrade, 33, was stabbed twice just below the chest by one of three bandits who invaded his Lot 8, Perry Street, Tucville home shortly after he had picked up his fiancée from the Cheddi Jagan International Airport.
D’andrade has been admitted to hospital but sources said that his wounds are not life threatening.
According to the father of two, he and a friend had just picked up his fianceé at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport and as he drove into his yard and was about to disembark the car, two men confronted them, one with a gun and the other with a knife.
“As we were coming out the car, I see these two men (both appeared to be in their twenties) coming towards us. They were already in the yard. I didn’t want to take the chance to run because they had a gun,” the 33-year-old man said from his hospital bed.
He explained that both men, including one with a kerchief tied across his mouth, began threatening them, while a third bandit came from behind them.
“One of them was pointing the gun to my head and was saying ‘I will give you five minute to answer and tell me where the house key is and the jewellery,’ while the other two were searching the luggage,” D’andrade recalled.
While one of the bandits was stripping the 33-year-old man of his valuables, another one assaulted his fiancée.
The overseas based Guyanese who was returning home to invest in a wash-bay lost $GY4M, including foreign currency, jewelry, her passport and a laptop while the self employed man lost his phone, wallet and wrist-watch.
The couple’s friend who was present throughout the ordeal escaped unharmed. The police have held him for questioning into the robbery.
BE THANKFUL AND GRATEFUL TO THE FOREIGN EXPLOITERS
