Georgetown: A handyman has confessed to the chilling tale of robbery and murder enacted on businessman Farouk Ghanie Hamid at his Nandy Park, East Bank Demerara premises last April. The handyman revealed how he and two others clubbed and stabbed the 56-year-old owner of Hamson’s General Store. Hamid had arrived in his Toyota Tundra, and when he entered the yard, one of the robbers clubbed the businessman behind the head with a piece of wood. The men then dragged Mr. Hamid to the side of his yard. The handyman claimed that he then gave one of his accomplices a knife which he had used to cut up dog meat, and the accomplice stabbed his boss twice to the chest. Removing Hamid’s licensed firearm and keys from the body, the killers then entered his home, ransacked the premises and filled a bag with valuables. They then headed to an area near Hamid’s home where they split up the loot. The handyman then fled to the interior where police apprehended him over the weekend. From the outset, detectives had suspected that persons close to Hamid, and who often visited his home, were behind his murder. Police suspected that the killers were individuals who had previously visited the property and were familiar with the slain man’s dog.
