Gunmen beat, rob Parfaite Harmonie family

Two persons are now nursing injuries at the West Demerara Regional Hospital, after several gunmen carried out a brazen robbery on a Parfaite Harmonie business on Monday and dealt a severe beating to them.

Those injured are Farah Mohamed, 33, and her brother, Navin Mulidhar.

It was reported that just after 12:00h on Monday, seven gunmen attacked the Parfaite Harmony, West Bank Demerara, residents, under the pretence of being customers at the family’s grocery store, on the same premises.

The home is reportedly occupied by Farah Mohamed, her husband Imtiaz Mohamed, 35, their three children, along with Farah’s brother, Mulidhar.

However, at the time of the incident, Imtiaz was in the interior, while Mulidhar and his sister were at home maintaining the business. The children were at school.

Reports are that the seven men exited a pink and white route 48 minibus, and called at the grocery store for a bottle of water. Farah, after realising that her brother did not respond to the call of the customers, went to tend to them.

However, they held her at gunpoint, where they commanded her to let them in. Upon doing so, the men dealt her several blows then fled with an undisclosed sum of cash and jewellery.

Neighbours, who heard the woman’s screams, called the Police and she along with Mulidhar, who was found beaten and tied in the yard, were rushed to the hospital.

Investigations are ongoing.
