Bandits escaped with over a million in cash and gold, after killing a shopkeeper in what can be described, as a robbery murder around 23:30 hours on Sunday.
Reports coming from the interior location are that Errol Bowen had left to go and turn off a generator in the shop when he was attacked and reportedly shot. His attackers then ransacked the shop before escaping with $500,000 and just over two ounces of raw gold.
This newspaper was told that after he was shot, Bowen sought refuge at a nearby business where he was assisted by another shopkeeper, but later died.
Bowen’s body was transported to the city by the police who have since launched an investigation.
Divisional Commander Ravindradat Budhram confirmed yesterday that the police had received a report about the incident.
A police press release yesterday afternoon said that the body of Errol Bowen, 23, of Better Hope, East Coast Demerara, who is a shopkeeper at Bone Yard Backdam, Omai, was found with gunshot wounds to the back of his left ear.
The police said that it was subsequently discovered that the shop was ransacked and two ounces, six pennyweights of gold were missing from the shop.
Investigations are in progress.
