Two Corentyne men, linked to the Christmas Eve shooting at a wedding house in Hampshire Village, which left three persons injured, surrendered to police at the Albion Police Station yesterday.

According to a police source, the alleged shooter and another man, who was allegedly carrying a firearm at the time of the shooting although he reportedly did not discharge any rounds, surrendered in the company of their lawyer, Mursaline Bacchus, after their families were held overnight at the Albion station.

The source said the men, who are claiming that they are both innocent, have told investigators that one of the victims reportedly hit them with a bottle at the wedding house, after which they retaliated.
