Feroz Khan, 29, of Fourth Avenue, Bartica, Region Seven, was shot by his employee and former member of
the Guyana Police Force (GPF), Shawn Sandy, on Thursday last.
The incident occurred some time around 15:00hrs at King Buoy Hole, Mazaruni.
The police said that 40-year old Sandy, of Alexander Village, Georgetown, allegedly found a handgun and was showing it to Khan when a round was discharged.
The round struck Sandy on his right hand and Khan, to his abdomen. Khan was pronounced dead on arrival at the Bartica Hospital while Sandy was admitted to the hospital under police guard. Investigations are currently ongoing.
However, relatives of the deceased are not convinced that the shooting was accidental since they said, Sandy gave “different versions” of the story to the police.
“Sandy told the police that he found the gun, a 9mm pistol, in a clump of bushes and was cleaning the barrel when it went off. One time he said that Feroz go to chop him and he shot him. He (Sandy) called Feroz wife and told her that he shot and killed Feroz. The police called her in for questioning (Saturday),” a cousin of the deceased man said yesterday.
Khan was laid to rest yesterday morning. The post mortem (PM) report, according to the relative, revealed that Khan died from ruptured lungs. This, she said, resulted from the “explosive shots” that were used.
Khan is survived by his two children and his pregnant wife.
