Police still to make arrest in Albouystown execution
POLICE are yet to make an arrest following the execution style killing in the Alboustown community of resident Vibert Samuels, 53, of Lot 22 Coconut Walk, Callendar Street, on February 20.
The identity of the lone gunman remains a mystery because at the time it happened the place was still dark and persons said that they did not see the assailant, except that he escaped on a bicycle down the street.
A post-mortem examination performed on the body revealed that he died as a result of shock and haemorrhage due to a gunshot wound compounded with cirrhosis of the liver.
The father of three was shot and killed after he was on his way home in the early morning of February 20 after he went to purchase oranges as customary. He was in his sister’s yard when a gunman shot him.
Police said at about 05:30 hours on February 20, 2014, the body of Vibert Samuels was found with a suspected bullet wound to the back on the roadway at Coconut Walk and Callendar Street, Albouystown. He succumbed while receiving medical treatment at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).
Samuels was a gardener/painter and the father of three children – ages 22, 19 and 14 years old respectively.
