A man was shot dead and another critically injured last evening by suspected bandits at Hog Island in the Essequibo River.
According to reports, Randy Katwaroo, was at his house on Northern Hog Island, along with two other men when they heard a boat approaching.
At this point they heard rapid gunshots and Katwaroo ran.
He later called his mother Raywattie Katwaroo who informed this publication of what had transpired.
She said that her son told her that he hid in the nearby bushes until he heard the boat leave.
According to the woman, her son related that when he returned to the scene he found one of the men dead.
The dead man was identified only as ‘Drainage’ while another man identified as ‘Elroy’ is reportedly critical.
The woman said that her son informed her that if he (the injured man) did not get medical help overnight he would more than likely die.
Katwaroo went into hiding whilst awaiting the arrival of the police, fearing the armed men would return.
Detectives were dispatched to the island shortly before midnight.
