Another elderly citizen has been attacked by bandits in his home.
The 78-year-old retiree of Satnarine Trace, Penal, was beaten and robbed during a home invasion on Monday. Just two days before (on December 14), Aamina Mohammed, 68, was murdered during a home invasion in Couva. She was stabbed in the neck multiple times with her kitchen knife.
Another pensioner, Bertram Greenaway, 68, of Herrera Trace, Morne Coco Road, Maraval, was found dead at his home with his throat slit.
Also, on that day, 70-year-old Zahir Khan of Bamboo Settlement #1, Valsayn, was kidnapped from his house.
In the latest incident on Monday, the yet-to-be-identified victim was sitting in his garage around 2:30 pm when two men armed with cutlasses accosted him. They beat him, causing an injury to his head. The suspects bound his hands and took him into the house to a bedroom. They then ransacked the house and stole a quantity of jewellery and $600 before running off. The elderly man managed to untie himself and sought assistance.
The suspects' faces were completely covered with only their eyes showing. Penal police are investigating.
