Mon Repos man gunned down at Ogle

Kimal Khan, a 42-year-old resident of Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara (ECD), was shot dead at the Ogle Public Road after midnight on Saturday by three unidentifiable men who were travelling in a Toyota Allion motorcar.

Police Headquarters reported that that Khan and his common-law wife, 21, left their Mon Repos home on a black Honda motorcycle (#CL 5173) on Saturday night.

They went to the Wee Bar and Lounge at Mon Repos Public Road, where they consumed an alcoholic beverage. They subsequently left for another bar in Mon Repos and later returned to Wee Bar and Lounge, where they spent a few minutes and left again, heading to another drinking spot in Georgetown.

As they journeyed to Georgetown, Khan reportedly stopped at the traffic light at Ogle just after midnight. At that time, a tinted silver-coloured Allion vehicle (registration number unknown) pulled up alongside the Khan and his wife and discharged several rounds in their direction.

Khan immediately fell off the motorcycle onto the roadway as the car sped away, heading south along the Ogle Access Road.

When Police Officers got to the scene, they found Khan lying on the road motionless in a pool of blood.

The body was examined and a gunshot wound was seen on the left side of his chest and two to the right side of the head.

The scene was processed and photographed, and six 9MM spent shells were recovered.

Khan’s body was taken to the Memorial Gardens Funeral Home, awaiting a post-mortem examination.

Meanwhile, the area was canvassed for CCTV cameras which were identified but are yet to be viewed. Investigation into the matter continue.
