1 dead, another critical after gunmen invade wedding house

One man is now dead while another is in a critical state after they were shot during a robbery at a wedding celebration at Canal Number 2 Polder, West Bank Demerara (WBD), on Sunday evening.
Dead is 40-year-old Natram Persaud known as “Vishal” of Stanleytown, WBD. Manipaul Rambarhak, called “Anand,” a 57-year-old farmer of Canal Number 2 Polder, was identified as the person who remains in a critical condition.
It was reported that the murder/robbery was committed by three men who were all dressed in dark clothing and wearing masks. One of them was armed with a handgun.

Rambarhak was reportedly sitting at the western side of the entrance along with another friend when the three bandits approached him during which one of them discharged two rounds at him and relieved him of his gold band valued at $250,000.
As the men were leaving, the now dead man reportedly chased after them. He eventually caught up with the men and a scuffle ensued with one of them.
During the scuffle, a loud explosion was heard, after which Persaud fell to the ground. The three bandits then made good their escape. As relatives rushed to assist Rambarhak and Persaud, they realised that they were shot.
They were picked up and taken to the West Demerara Regional Hospital where Persaud was pronounced dead on arrival.
Rambarhak sustained a gunshot injury to his stomach, which exited his lower back, while Persaud received a gunshot injury to the back of his head.
At the scene, three .45mm spent shells were recovered – one on the bridge area and two at the entrance of the yard. Several CCTV cameras were seen affixed to the building where the wedding function was held, and these will be reviewed by detectives.
