A
GANG of about 10 gunmen last night
executed at least six persons in
cold-blooded attacks on the Kaieteur
News printery at Eccles and at
Bagotstown, East Bank Demerara.
The
gang stormed into the newspaper printery
at about 22:00 h after a rampage at
Bagotstown and Agricola where one person
was shot dead and about three others
wounded, witnesses said.
Employees
at the Kaieteur News printery said they
heard one of the gunmen shout “If is
trouble they want, they will get f…..g
trouble!” as they swept into the
building where they ordered printing
staff to lie face down on the floor.
They
then shot five of the employees in the
head, killing four on the spot and the
other died on the way to hospital,
witnesses said.
Employees
said among those killed at the newspaper
printery were Chetram Persaud (also
called Bayo); Mark Mikoo; Shazim and
Richard.
Sources
said the slaughter came after a skirmish
between gunmen and a Police/Army patrol
at Brusche Dam, Buxton, East Coast
Demerara.
President
Bharrat Jagdeo visited the newspaper
printery at about 01:30 h today.
