KEVIN David of Agricola, who, along with another man had robbed a La Bonne Intention housewife of over half a million dollars at gunpoint, died at the Georgetown Public Hospital on Friday evening.

David had gone AWOL (Absent Without Leave) from the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) for some time, as confirmed by head of the GDF Brigadier, Mark Phillips, when approached by this publication for a comment.
On Friday November 18, David along with an accomplice, Trillion Munroe of Tucber Park, New Amsterdam, were pursued and captured by relatives and other persons from the East Coast community after they had committed the robbery at Cherry Field on 37- year-old, Jasdai Persaud, just as she had entered her yard moments after returning from a city bank.
However, persons who were on the scene related that the woman and her husband had just returned home when two men rode up on a motorcycle, one raced into the yard and snatched a bag with the money from the woman.
Persaud raised an alarm and her husband rushed to the men, but the pillion rider reportedly fired a shot in his direction, causing him to retreat. However, the woman’s two brothers who were at separate locations in the area were also alerted about the robbery.

The men then attempted to pursue the bandits but had experienced difficulty stopping them as they fired shots in the direction of the woman’s relatives. Persaud’s brothers then rammed the car into the bandits’ motorcycle, pinning one of them under the vehicle while the other was pitched several yards away and lay unconscious. The police were then called in.
On their arrival, the police retrieved a GDF identification card from David, as well as the bag containing the money and an unlicensed .32 revolver.
