Bandit executed in Tuschen

Georgetown: A known bandit was executed Sunday evening. Dead is 33-year-old Eon Currency, called “Muscle” and “Slingerz Outlaw” of Tuschen Housing Scheme, East Bank of Essequibo (EBE). He was found dead with a gunshot wound to his head.

His shirtless body was found tangled on a red bicycle which he was reportedly riding up to the time of his death. He was shot to the forehead and reportedly collapsed along the roadside where he died. The man, who some claimed to be a vendor, was well known in the village. According to reports, Currency used to collude with other notorious characters and robbed persons at the ‘Blacka’ dam at Tuschen New Scheme. Muscle was reportedly involved in a robbery sometime back, during which a policeman’s gun was stolen.

“This man is a big bandit and everyone in his village knows he  does rob people at the Blacka at night and he does deh selling back their jewellery at Stabroek,” one resident said.
