City Constable flees after allegedly shooting co-worker, visitor

Police are on the hunt for a City Constable who allegedly used his service weapon to shoot his coworker and a visitor on Tuesday evening at the Bourda City Constabulary Outpost.
Jammanie Saul, a 48-year-old female Lance Corporal attached to the City Constabulary, received one gunshot wound to her left hand, and Miguel Wilson, a 50-year-old overseas-based Guyanese of Section ‘C’ Enterprise, East Coast Demerara, received one gunshot wound to his left thigh.
The shooting was committed by a 50-year-old City Constable at about 19:15h.

Information from the Guyana Police Force disclosed that Saul and the suspect are co-workers, and were both on duty at the Bourda City Constabulary Outpost. Overseas-based Wilson visited Saul at her workplace, and the two then sat next to each other chatting, much to the annoyance of the suspect.
The suspect, who was armed with the service weapon – a .38 revolver with six live rounds – reportedly became furious at seeing the duo together, and so pointed his firearm in the direction of both victims and fired three shots.
Saul and Wilson fell to the ground, while the suspect fled the scene with the service weapon. The two injured persons were rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital by public-spirited citizens, and were admitted as patients at the medical facility.
Police have said that CCTV footage from the area would be reviewed by investigators. According to the Police, checks were made for the suspect at his West Ruimveldt address, but he is yet to be located. Investigations are ongoing. (G12)
