A suspect yesterday surrendered after a miner from Buxton, East Coast Demerara (ECD) was shot twice in the city last Saturday when he pursued two men who robbed him of a gold and diamond chain.
Police said, the 44-year-old man, of Middle Walk, Buxton, was a passenger of a route 44 minibus at the bus park on Hinck Street, Georgetown.
The identity of the man was not revealed. However, police said investigations revealed that two robbers, including one armed with a handgun, pounced on the miner and relieved him of his gold and diamond chain, valued $950,000, and fled in the direction of the Stabroek Market.
