The post mortem report noted that a warhead was recovered from the chest of the 30- year-old father of two, who was a handyman.

The police have arrested a suspected bandit as investigations continue into the murder of Swamy.

Reports indicate that Swamy, his wife and her sister, along with Rawle Williams, 28, and his spouse Marcia Williams, 38, also residents of Mon Repos, ECD, were “liming” and imbibing in front of the home of the deceased. It was then that they were pounced upon by two masked men, one brandishing a handgun.

The bandits allegedly relieved Marcia of her cellphone and a sum of cash; they also lashed her husband, Rawle, on his head and shot Swamy in the left region of his chest, after which they fled the scene.

Christopher and Rawle were rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH), but Christopher was pronounced dead on arrival and Rawle was treated and admitted in a stable condition.
