The suspect in the Number 69 Village shooting was released on $50,000 bail although he was positively identified, while the injured teen awaits a surgery that the public hospital is unable to perform.
Gurdial Ballram told Stabroek News yesterday at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH), that he was not even informed by the police, that the man suspected to be his son’s—Oumesh Ballram—shooter, was released on bail. He said it was a surprise. “I was busy looking after my son at the hospital,” he explained. “So I didn’t have the time to keep in touch with the police.”
Ballram said doctors at the public hospital have informed him that they are unable to perform the surgery his son needs.
