In a shocking incident early Saturday morning, an autobody workman was shot and robbed near a wake he was attending in Annandale, East Coast Demerara, according to the Guyana Police Force. The victim, whose identity remains undisclosed, resides in Non Pariel, East Coast Demerara. The attack occurred around 12:05 AM when two men on a motorcycle approached him, demanding money and stealing his Samsung S9 phone valued at GY$40,000 and a haversack worth GY$5,000.
