In Guyana ……A Corriverton, Berbice man was crushed to death yesterday morning at Number One Caroni, Suriname after two Guyanese fishing vessels were attacked by two armed men, who stole one of the vessels and escaped.
At about 8.30am yesterday, police said in a release late last night, “Guyanese crew members of two fishing boats operating in the No.1 Caroni, Suriname, area were attacked by two men armed with a shotgun and a cutlass during which fisherman Satrohan Jagdeep Persaud, 53 years of Little India Squatting Area, Corriverton, fell overboard and was squeezed between two boats resulting in his death.”
It was reported, police said, that fishing boat, Anna, captained by Chandradat Harrynauth, 47, of Number 73 Village, Corriverton, along with a crew of four men were fishing when a boat with the two armed men came alongside. Harrynauth and his crew were held at gunpoint and the intruders “took over” their boat which had a 48hp outboard motor engine and 2,400 pounds of seine.
The armed men, police further reported, then sailed Anna towing their original vessel alongside and subsequently approached the second Guyanese fishing boat, Nazia captained by Ricky Barry, 35, of Crabwood Creek, Corriverton. Barry’s vessel also had a crew of four men which included the deceased.
