A woman and her family are now traumatised after they were attacked by a lone gunman at their Diamond/Grove Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara (EBD) home in the wee hours of Monday morning.
The attack occurred around 3.30 am at the Lot 48 Diamond/Grove Housing Scheme premises where Marcia Fredericks, 49, lives with her two daughters, Cynoveia Orford, 28, and Cindy Fredericks, 18.
The gunman initially held Marcia at gunpoint and eventually forced her into the apartment, where he gun-butted her twice. He then turned his attention to Cindy, who rushed to her mother’s assistance and pleaded with him to leave. The gunman later escaped with Marcia’s cell phone and fired a round at one of the family’s dogs after it attempted to attack him. The gunshot alerted neighbours and the police were summoned.
