THE grandmother of the baby that was shot dead Sunday at Annandale now fears for her life since receiving death threats from murder accused, Marc Angoy, who is presently on the run.
Angoy, 45, is wanted for questioning in the murder Sunday of one-year-old Ariane Gill, who was shot in the back in the region of the upper left shoulder. He is also wanted for questioning in the wounding with intent of 12-year-old Ashley Wellington, who was shot twice in the left leg, and is now a patient at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).

Police yesterday issued a wanted bulletin for the fugitive, whose last known address has been given as Buzz Bee Dam, Craig, East Bank Demerara.
They are also asking the public to make contact with the nearest police station should he be seen, and have given their word that whatver information they divulge will be treated with strict confidence.
Meanwhile, Shenay Northon, the woman at the centre of the tragedy, has told this publication that since the story went public Sunday and yesterday, she has received several death threats from Angoy. The fugitive even had the temerity to contact her son, by way of text message, saying how upset he was at what has been reported.
“He called and told me I am blaming him, and that I will soon see the real thing…. I am asking the police for protection, because I know this man; he is very dangerous,” an obviously petrified Northon said.
Her injured daughter, 12-year-old Ashley, told this publication that she, too, is scared, since Angoy is still at large.
Angoy, against whom the court has granted a restraining order, paid Northon a visit at her Lot 38 Eastville Housing Scheme home at Annandale, East Coast Demerara, not to see her, but to make good on a promise that he would get back at her for leaving him.
After the deed was done, he reportedly fled the scene in a blue motorcar, but was last seen just yesterday in Craig, on the East Bank Demerara.
A former member of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF), Angoy, who previously operated a business in the interior, was wanted for murder before, but was later acquitted.
Northon said that after being in an abusive relationship with him for three long years, she finally called it quits two month ago. But according to her, Angoy was having none of it, and reportedly told her that leaving him would be the biggest mistake she’d ever make.
But Northon was long over him. “I left him because of abuse in every way possible: Physical, mental, verbal, and emotional; every way possible,” she told the Guyana Chronicle Sunday.
She said the reason Angoy targeted those two particular children was because he knew how much she loved them; how close they both were to her heart.
“I normally call her ‘Princess’; and he know I care a lot for these two…” Northon said, adding:
“We tried patching up the relationship many times before, but he is very abusive. He even smoke cocaine in the house, and because of his behaviour towards me, my children could not stand it and they moved out.”
Looking back, she said yesterday: “I guess I’ll now have to live with the grief of making a major mistake by allowing the abuse that later ended in the murder of my grand-daughter.”
