Police on the Essequibo Coast are still conducting their investigations into two robberies and an attack on a businessman that has now left Mr. Matadeen Etwaroo,a/k Choto, of Affiance, Essequibo Coast, with injuries to the head. One of three bandits beat Etwaroo Friday evening with a metal object.
Deomattie Shaw, Etwaroo’s sister, who was also present at the time of the robbery, said that while the family has now resolved to migrating, she is also furious at the manner in which the police are conducting their investigations.

Recounting the ordeal, Mr. Etwaroo said that around 20:15 Friday evening, minutes after he had closed his car that was parked in his yard and was about to close the window to his shop, he was confronted by three unidentified, unmasked men who brazenly entered his shop and subsequently started an assault on him with a metal object.
Mr. Etwaroo said that he sustained numerous lashes to his head while fighting off the bandits who, he feared, would have attacked his sister and another female if they had not run aback of the house for their safety.
The ordeal he said lasted for about five minutes.
Mrs. Shaw, Etwaroo’s sister, said that after the assault her brother was rushed to the Suddie Public Hospital where he received several stitches to his head.
A retired nurse who was also visiting Mr. Etwaroo in hospital vented her concern at the nurses at the Suddie Hospital who had since released Mr. Etwaroo before a full 24 hours observation.
The unnamed nurse said that she was appalled that a patient like Etwaroo who had bled profusely the entire night, was released from the hospital and back into his family’s care.

Instead, he should have been monitored carefully by doctors in the event that he might have sustained some concussion, she added.
The other robbery victim, Mr. Kishore Gobin, of Johanna Cecilia, was relieved of over one million dollars in cash Friday evening.
His wife said that her husband made the discovery minutes after the police had visited him. The still shaken woman said the bandits entered the shop and carted off the cash which was secured in a drawer in the shop.
A claw bar which was suspected to have been used by the bandits was recovered on a desk in the shop.
According to Mrs. Gobin, this was the third robbery they have sustained for the year. She said on one occasion bandits carted off eight cylinders of gas.
