In Berbice…
SEVERAL suspects, including some known to the Police, remained in custody yesterday, as investigations continued into the Monday morning robbery murder at Corentyne, Berbice.

The robbers shot dead Arjune Gobin, a security guard attached to Nand Persaud & Company, the largest exporter of extra long grain parboiled and white rice, in the ‘Ancient County’.
A senior Police officer, close to the investigators, told the Guyana Chronicle that routine interrogation is being conducted on those held and their fingerprints will be compared with those taken from the crime scene.
In addition, he said detectives will revisit the house where the burglary took place to make a further evaluation.
Meanwhile, a post mortem examination, performed by Dr Nehaul Singh at New Amsterdam Hospital mortuary on Tuesday, confirmed that Gobin died from a gunshot wound in his head.
This newspaper was also informed that Rajindra Persaud, General Manager/Chief Executive Officer of the Nand Persaud business chain, was expected to be discharged from a city hospital.
On Monday, Gobin, 47, of Bloomfield, Corentyne, was killed instantly while his employer was injured by a hail of bullets as they were responding to a call for help at Surendra Ganesh’s Wellington Park, Corentyne home, shortly after 02:00 hrs.
Persaud suffered a similar injury from a bullet that grazed his head.
Vasantie Ganesh called Sandra, wife of Surendra Ganesh said she was awakened by sounds of banging and gunshots and, after alerting her children, Avinash, 20 and Vinaya, 14, they all secured themselves in a safe room, from where she telephoned her brother, Rajindra Persaud, who lives at Number 35 Village, Corentyne, some four miles away.

SUSPICION
The traumatised woman told her sibling about her suspicion that the house was under attack and he left his home in PKK 3482 whilst his employee, Gobin, followed in PHH 1575.
However, in front  of the  Ganesh residence, Persaud‘s vehicle came under fire by the bandit and it crashed into a utility pole and plunged into a nearby trench before catapulting unto a dam, during which time, he was hit by gunfire.
Gobin, who was driving behind his employer, was wounded in his left side temple and succumbed instantly.
During the ordeal, assistance was sought from the Police and it was after their arrival that Persaud entered his sister’s home.
He had to call out to her repeatedly before she emerged from hiding into his  comforting arms.
Meantime, Surendra Ganesh, who had left home about an hour before en route to  Cheddi Jagan International Airport, was in the vicinity of Rising Sun, West Coast Berbice, when he received a telephone call about the attack.
He, immediately, turned back and when he returned to his home, he found a hole, approximately two feet by three feet, on the southern wall of the two-storey building.
Police said six bandits used a sledge hammer to destroy a portion of the concrete wall to gain entrance in the heavily grilled edifice.
After entering, through the lower flat, the gang fired several shots from 9 mm pistols, leaving bullet holes all over the place and many spent shells that the Police retrieved.
Two of the three upstairs bedrooms were ransacked and the family reported the loss of $5,500.
