A popular bread vendor of Beterverwagting (BV), East Coast Demerara was discovered dead following a robbery at his home during the wee hours of yesterday morning.
Dead is Clairmont Telesford, 63, of 101 Republic Drive, Beterver-wagting. Telesford’s bloodied body was discovered by his common-law wife Shondell Emmanuel shortly after the bandits fled the scene. The body was next to his shop located in front of his house.
Police yesterday said that the couple was attacked at around 1:30 am at their home, allegedly by three masked males, one of whom was armed with a firearm.
