The family of Calvin Edwards, also known as Calvin Dover, one of the two suspected bandits shot and killed after they attempted to rob a city businessman on Friday, became aware that he chose a criminal path after his constant arrests and their relentless efforts to steer him away bore no fruit.
“It was a shock when they learnt that he was involved. That’s why the family was relentless. In our family, we don’t have a [criminal] history. We have never seen nobody in our family thief and that is why we were shocked, we wanted to know where he get this kind of mentality from,” Wayne Dover, a cousin of the dead man, told Sunday Stabroek yesterday.
Edwards, 27, of Lot PP 6 Bent Street, Wortmanville, was shot and killed by police during a standoff in a house along Bent Street on Friday, where he allegedly sought refuge after managing to escape from the scene of the robbery.
