A TWENTY-EIGHT-year-old businessman of Annandale, East Coast Demerara (ECD) escaped unhurt Tuesday after his cousin discharged several rounds in his direction following an argument over money.
Reports indicate that the businessman identified as Anthony Harrinandan and his cousin, a 39-year-old fisherman of La Bonne Intention, ECD, had an argument via telephone over money which the fisherman owed the businessman.
The fisherman allegedly refused to repay and during the verbal tussle, the fisherman reportedly threatened to kill the businessman.
At around midday, Tuesday, Harrinandan was seated in his motorcar outside of a bar at Annandale when his cousin suddenly appeared before him.
The fisherman whipped out a handgun, pointed the weapon in the direction of his cousin and discharged several rounds. Police said the businessman was not struck by the bullets.
The suspect, however, made his escape in a white motorcar. He remains in hiding. Police arrived on the scene and discovered two 9mm spent shells as investigations continue.
