– guns, ammo recovered
Two Albouystown youths were shot dead and a third badly wounded around 20:00 hrs yesterday during a confrontation with police near the K&VC Hotel in South Road, Georgetown.
Relatives identified the dead as, Jermaine Canterbury, called Chow, and Mark Anthony Joseph, 19, called Two Grand, of Hogg Street, Albouystown. A third youth, identified as Mario Gouveia, also of Albouystown, was in a critical condition with a bullet wound to the face.
Police alleged that Canterbury, whom some named as Joseph Fraser, and Mark Anthony Joseph were slain after they opened fire on police ranks who confronted them during a robbery attempt. However some eyewitnesses alleged that the suspects were unarmed and that one of them had surrendered.
Police sources said that they recovered a .38 revolver with three spent shells and a .32 revolver with one live round. The ranks also allegedly recovered a wig from one of the suspects.
According to a source, police had received word that the youths and at least one other individual in a white Raum were in the area and were planning to rob a customer who was in the K&VC Hotel.
Police sources said that acting on this information, ranks staked out the scene and confronted the suspects. They alleged that two of the suspects were slain during an exchange of gunfire and a third wounded. They said that the occupant of the Raum escaped.
However, a man claiming to be an eyewitness alleged that one of the youths was cornered inside the hotel and surrendered. The man alleged that the suspect emptied his pockets and showed the police that he only had a cell phone. The man claimed that some of the ranks then took the youth to a dark section of South Road and shot him.
The victims were taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital where Joseph and Canterbury were pronounced dead.
