THE Tucville, Georgetown businessman who shot and killed a man who turned on his vehicle on his bridge last week is to face murder charge today at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.Last Tuesday, the businessman identified as Robert Benn, a licensed firearm holder reportedly opened fire with a 9 mm handgun when he saw a car–Toyota Allion PRR 4393 turning on his bridge.

The bizarre shooting incident in Perry Street, Tucville, left 24-year-old excavator operator Colin Perreira called “Malcolm” dead and 22-year-old Gailann Chacom wounded.

Acting Police Commissioner David Ramnarine described the act as a “murderous murder.”

Perreira was shot multiple times about the body and six bullet holes were registered on the front windscreen of the car. Residents had described the businessman as a harsh and ill-tempered individual.

“This man is always having problems with people,” one resident said.

A cousin of the dead man who requested anonymity said she is traumatized at the senseless killing. “It’s not like he was sick and he died, then it would be different. “He leave the house to make two drop-offs and he never returned home. This man has a two-year-old daughter who will never know her father.”

Perreira’s mother, Cerene Roberts, said she was at a church event at the Melanie School Ground, East Coast Demerara on Tuesday night when at 21:30 hrs she received several calls simultaneously informing her that someone had shot her son in Tucville.

Ms Roberts said she visited Perry Street, Tucville, where she was shown the area where the shooting had occurred. “I last saw my son at 1PM Tuesday afternoon when he came home to use the washroom…and I never heard anything from him after. “This man [the shooter] must be crazy.”
