Re: Collin Jacobs Shot Dead
COLLIN JACOBS  Four years after the infamous Mash Day jailbreak, the last of the feared five escapees, Troy Dick, was shot dead by police after another brazen daylight robbery in Georgetown yesterday. Another bandit, Colin Jacobs, also known as Paul Lynch, was also killed during the shootout in Hardina Street, Wortmanville. Dick was one of the five dangerous criminals who shot their way out of the Georgetown Prisons on February 23, 2002, and spread a long reign of criminal terror in Georgetown and along the East Coast Demerara before four of them were shot or found dead in separate incidents. Dick was also wanted in connection with the assassination of Agriculture Minister Mr Satyadeow `Sash’ Sawh who was gunned down in his house on the night of April 22, 2006. Police said the two bandits were killed at the corner of Hardina and Norton Streets, Wortmanville around 09:30 h yesterday after they robbed a money changer of an undisclosed sum of money. SHOT DEAD: Colin Jacobs, also known as Paul Lynch According to Police, Ashraf Alli, 33, of Peter’s Hall, East Bank Demerara, was attacked by two men, one of whom had a handgun, at Regent and Wellington Streets, Georgetown. Police said the man with the firearm discharged several rounds, held up Alli and took away the money after a scuffle. The two robbers ran south along Wellington Street and as they fled, the man with the firearm discharged several shots in Alli’s direction. No one was injured but the windscreen of a vehicle parked in the vicinity was damaged. The two men subsequently joined a motor vehicle, Police said. Police patrol ranks responded promptly to the report and acting on information received, confronted three men who had left a motor car in Hardina Street. Two of the men were at the time attempting to hijack a motor car. Police said there was a chase and an exchange of gunfire which resulted in Lynch, 34, of Globe Yard, Waterloo Street, Georgetown being fatally wounded. |
