As re­ports of crim­i­nals stalk­ing their vic­tims at banks con­tin­ue, in­ves­ti­ga­tors are prob­ing whether teacher Ashram Boodram’s killer fol­lowed him home from a branch in San Fer­nan­do.
Rel­a­tives told Guardian Me­dia on Sat­ur­day that Boodram, 50, a wood­work teacher at the Union Clax­ton Bay Sec­ondary School, was ex­pand­ing his home along Hi­bis­cus Dri­ve, Debe. It was be­lieved that he fin­ished work ear­ly and went to the bank to with­draw cash to pay the con­struc­tion crew at his house.
A re­port stat­ed that around 2 pm Fri­day, Boodram had just got out his Toy­ota Field­er wag­on out­side his home when a gun­man ap­proached and shot him in his chest. The gun­man then took his bag with the cash and ran off. The work­men at the back of the house rushed out to help and po­lice and an am­bu­lance were con­tact­ed.
