A logging concession owner died on Monday night after accidentally shooting himself below the chin with an unlicenced 12-gauge shotgun at Oku Backdam, Cuyuni/Mazaruni.
Police identified the victim as Eldon Gaime, of Pomona, Essequibo Coast.
According to reports reaching Kaieteur News, Gaime, who is in his thirties, was preparing to go hunting at around 21.00 hrs on Monday when he got into an argument with one of his workers.
A source said that the man struck Gaime with a stone and another worker was forced to intervene.
Kaieteur News understands that Gaime then clambered onto a tractor with the unlicenced shotgun clutched between his legs and with the barrel pointing upwards.
Sources said that it was then that he accidentally discharged the firearm. He was reportedly blasted at close range below the chin and died instantaneously.
Police ranks brought the body to Bartica last night and were still taking statements from three of the dead man’s employees at press time.
Gaime reportedly only bought the concession about eight weeks ago and had employed several close friends from his community.
