| ….gang said to have escaped to SurinameBy Leon SuseranA group of men (reports indicate about four) on the Upper Corentyne area is on the run after executing aBijai 'Rohan' Ramdasswell- coordinated shooting early Monday morning at Crabwood Creek. The shooting has left two persons fighting for their lives at two Berbice hospitals. One of them is a teenager.Bijai ‘Rohan’ Ramdass, 31, of Lot 41 Grant 1806, Crabwood Creek, was shot several times about his body by the gang while 17-year-old Hazrat ‘Boy’ Abrahim of Lot 114 Grant 1806 was also shot repeatedly. Reports indicate that some disagreement concerning payments between two men who were partners in a plantain farming business in Crabwood Creek took its toll on Monday around 8:15am after one of the parties involved decided to take matters into his own hands and went on a shooting spree.The incident took place in the Crabwood Creek Sideline (some 50 rods from Ramdass’s residence).Ramdass’s father, Sookdeo Persaud Ramdass, spoke about a turbulent partnership between the main alleged attacker, Intiaaz ‘Taliban’ Shaw, with whom his son was sharing a plantain farm up in the area. “Them used to plant the plantain half- and half and he rob me son. They planted on Government reserve land and when he come back from Canada, he don’t want the boy get half and half share in the plantain. So now me son left and planting separate on my land, but them still ain’t satisfied; like them get some jealousy,Wholesale NFL Jerseys,” he noted.The man recounted other incidents that recently took place. His son was being targeted by this same group of individuals but no justice is forthcoming, he said. He named persons such as ‘Amo’, ‘Bobs,Cheap NFL Jerseys, among others.Last December,Cheap Jerseys Wholesale, Ramdass was attacked by the men and badly beaten. “This matter rolling on long, long. Them burst up he head, Intiaaz with Bobs. Then the first incident took place around Diwali last year”, he noted.Radica Devi Ramdass, the man’s mother, speaking about the partnership with the farm, said that Shaw “don’t want to give me son nothing [the profits of the farm]”. “We go lawyer and report it to the police but they said it was a civil matter and let them make peace”.“All this is malice against him, but like I gotta take this law in my own hands because presently,NFL Jerseys Wholesale, I feel scared and this law ain’t giving me justice”, his father said. “Only Superintendent Budhram (of Springlands Station) giving us satisfaction, but not the other policemen”, he said.The man alleged that the men are terrorizing the village and they are not being dealt with condignly by the law enforcement officials. They appeared several times before a Corentyne Magistrate (name given) but Ramdass said they are “getting off”.He noted that the men would tell lies in front of the law enforcement officials especially when they are asked where they were working. “The other criminal does tell the policeman that he wukkin at a sawmill but the sawmill name he calling was abandoned for over 18 months.“One of them said he was a carpenter but he cannot even hold a hammer”, he noted. “They doing sheer cocaine business bringing gun illegal and they got catch already with machines and made guns,NFL Jerseys Outlet, and nothing became of their story”, he noted.He noted that they were caught at a home thRamdass's parentsey were staying in the backlands of the Crabwood Creek area but nobody seems to be doing anything. Ramdass said that the same men were involved in doing a lot of other criminal activities. “From the top come down is sheer bribes! We ain’t get no justice!”“Every person in this area is scared of these chaps and I believe if they get rid of them, everybody will live in harmony. They took men from boats and took them on one of the Corentyne islands, and burn them man and do them all kinds of things and bring them back and the men can’t talk. It is like something you see in the movies, mafia,” he posited.Seventeen-year-old Abrahim was working with Ramdass and was just at the wrong place at the wrong time at the farm on Monday.His mother, Deborah Karl said that she received a message at work that her son was shot. “Me son tell me that Amo and Bobs shoot them”,wholesale jerseys, she noted. “He get bullet all over he body. He get two bullets under his right arm and two on his feet and one on his ears; one passed through his mouth and one in his arm. The doctor said they have to treat and watch him before they operate on him since he has a bullet lodged in his lungs”, she stated.He is currently a patient at the Skeldon Hospital. His condition up to late Monday afternoon was listed as critical.Ramdass remains a patient in the Intensive Care Unit of the New Amsterdam Hospital. He was shot several times about the body, including his face and stomach.His father said Ramdass may lose one of his eyes.Shaw usually resides in Canada with his family and visits Guyana often to transact and finalise business with the plantain farm. It is widely believed that Shaw and the other men escaped to Suriname late Monday afternoon through the Moleson Creek Ferry Stelling.The families were busy reporting the names of the men to the Ferry officials late Monday in a bid to stop them in their tracks. Mr Ramdass suspects that Shaw could try to leave for Canada via Suriname. |
