Police investigators are probing a deadly robbery in the East La Penitence area, which left one man dead and two of his brothers nursing gunshot wounds.

According to a Police report, 58-year-old, Fazal Shaheed of Albion Berbice, was meeting with his brothers last night at an East La Penitence home, when two armed men gained access to the house through an open door.

The men reportedly held the three brothers at gunpoint and demanded their jewellery and other valuables.

After relieving the men of their jewellery, the gunmen fired several shots at them while making their escape.

The two other brothers, who received gunshot injuries to their abdomens, were treated and admitted. They both live overseas.
