In the wake of the recent killing of gold dealer Deon Stoll, government is looking at ways of ramping up security for the sector in the capital.
The 44-year-old Stoll, of Barima Avenue, Bel Air Park, Georgetown, was last Monday fatally shot when gunmen tried to rob him as he was about to conduct business at El Dorado Trading in Da Silva Street, Newton, Georgetown.
“The National Security Commission has started to look at ways we can enhance security. I believe the first step would be to catch the persons who committed this heinous crime and make them an example to persons who have similar intentions that this will not be tolerated,” Minister of Natural Resources Raphael Trotman told reporters last evening, on the sidelines of a wake held for Stoll at the Guyana Gold and Diamond Miners Association’s (GGDMA) North Road, Georgetown office.
