A
FAMILY operating a dry goods shop at Triumph Village, East Coast
Demerara was beaten and robbed at gunpoint of an undisclosed
amount of cash by a gang of three men on Sunday evening.
Mr.
Loki Narine, 50, and his wife, Mrs. Druphattie Narine of 123
Triumph Village were sitting in their shop on Sunday evening
around 20:00 hrs when they were robbed.
According
to Loki, he was selling a case of lemonade to a regular customer
when another man approached him for a case of beer. He proceeded
to sell the man the beer, when another man approached him and
placed a gun to his head telling him not to move.
The
man he was selling the beer to proceeded to take Druphattie into
the kitchen, demanding that she give them money. She gave the
money they had downstairs but was unaware of the amount.
Loki
said that a third man was outside the gate with a machine
gun.
He
recalled that the man holding the gun to his head told the other
holding his wife to "kill she."
The
father of three said he tried to move and that was when he was
hit with a gun and sustained a gash in the head. He was also
bruised in an ear and on the neck and he and his wife were also
cuffed on their mouths.
