Kuru Kururu man shot dead 1 day after ex-wife allegedly threatened to kill him

The lifeless body of 59-year-old Brian Thomas was found in his Kuru Kururu, Soesdyke-Linden Highway home – one day after his ex-wife had allegedly threatened to kill him.
Police stated that from the initial investigation, the man might have been fatally shot between 23:00h and 23:30h on Wednesday evening.
Based on reports received, two days prior to the incident, the now dead man’s ex-wife, a 60-year-old also of Kuru Kururu, made a report at a Police Outpost in the community that Thomas had threatened to “chop her up”.
As a result, Thomas was detained at the Highway Patrol Base pending further investigations.
However, on Tuesday, Thomas was released from custody, and upon arriving at his house, he reportedly observed the front door open and upon checking, the house was ransacked.
Thomas subsequently made a “break-in” report at the Police Outpost during which he also related that his ex-wife wanted to kill him for his house and land.
Nevertheless, on Wednesday, at about 23:45h, a 30-year-old female of Grant Sand Road, Soesdyke, went to the Timehri Police Station, where she reported that she visited Thomas’ home at about 21:00h to pay for a quantity of hollow blocks that she had ordered.
She told Police that while standing at the bottom of the stairs conversing with Thomas, two unidentifiable men – one of whom had large puffy hair, rushed past her from behind, went up the stairs and charged towards Thomas.
She recalled hearing one of the perpetrators telling Thomas “you eyes pass me…”. The woman stated that she immediately ran out of the yard and went to the Timehri Police Station where she reported the incident.
Acting on the report, the Police went to the location to investigate and it was then, they saw Thomas lying motionlessly with his face down in the doorway of the second bedroom.
At the time, the man was clad in a grey vest and blue short pants. It was also observed that he was bleeding from the right side of his abdomen.
The area was cordoned off to facilitate an investigation. The detectives discovered two 9mm spent shells on the kitchen floor. As the investigation continued, the woman who made the report at the station was arrested and is being questioned.
