Police reported that at about 08:15 hrs July 8, 2013, businessman, Cecil Albert Gajadhar, and Victor Da Silva of Covent Garden, East Bank Demerara, were in a motor vehicle on their way to a city bank, when two men in another motor vehicle blocked their path in the vicinity of Water and Cowan Streets, Kingston.
The two men exited the vehicle and began discharging rounds at Cecil Gajadhar, who was struck to his forehead, and Victor Da Silva, who was hit to his chest. The armed men took away $8M and escaped.
Gajadhar managed to drive the vehicle to Robb Street, from where he was taken to the GPHC for medical treatment. Da Silva succumbed to his injuries.
The businessman was at the wheel of his CRV when he observed that a grey Toyota Allion motorcar was following him but he did not pay heed to this until his path was blocked by several cars and he came under fire.
Gajadhar tried to escape but not before his employee was shot and killed and he was shot and injured.
