"They come to kill me." Those were the chilling words of a Penal man seconds before he was fatally shot by bandits at his home on Monday night.
As they escaped, the bandits rolled over the body of 34-year-old labourer Brandon Harripersad.
During the ordeal, Harripersad's father, Sheldon Harripersad, 54, was also shot and is hospitalised.
Around 10:45 pm, Harripersad was in the garage area of his home at Batchiya Village when his relatives heard him shout, "Allyuh, they come to kill me."
According to a police report, a female relative who was inside the house heard several gunshots and as she opened the front door, two masked gunmen accosted her.
They demanded cash, jewellery and the keys of her white Mazda 3. As they escaped in her car, they rolled over Harripersad's body.
Officers from the Homicide Bureau of Investigations Region 3 are investigating.
