A Post-Mortem Examination (PME) was conducted on the body of Kimal Khan by government pathologist Dr Nehaul Singh at the GPHC’s mortuary this morning. Dr Singh gave the cause of death as multiple gunshot injuries — three to the head and one to the chest.
Khan, 42, a Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara (ECD resident, was gunned down about 00:10 hrs on Sunday at Ogle, ECD, by three unidentifiable men in an Allion motorcar (Registration Number unknown).
The crime scene was visited at about 00:15 hrs this morning by Commander Regional Police Division 4’C’, Assistant Commissioner K. Pareshram; Deputy Superintendent J. Dufu; Detective Assistant Superintendent Adams, Sergeant Benjamin, Sergeant Goodridge, Lance Corporal Cockfield, and other police ranks.
Enquiries disclosed that, around 23:00 hrs last night, Khan and his common-law wife, 21, left their Mon Repos home on the victim’s black Honda motorcycle (# CL5173). They proceeded to Wee Bar and Lounge at Mon Repos Public Road, where they each consumed an alcoholic beverage. They then left for another bar in Mon Repos and later returned to Wee Bar and Lounge, where they spent a few minutes and left again, heading to another drinking spot in Georgetown.
As they were making their way to Georgetown, Khan stopped his motorcycle at the Traffic Lights at Ogle, waiting for the light to change. At that time, a tinted silver-coloured Allion vehicle (registration number unknown) pulled up alongside Khan and his common-law wife and discharged several rounds in their direction. Khan immediately fell off the motorcycle onto the roadway as the car sped away, heading south along the Ogle Access Road.
The police were summoned and arrived about five minutes later, along with EMT personnel. They found Khan lying on the road motionless in what appeared to be a pool of blood.
He was later pronounced dead. The scene was processed and photographed, and six 9mm spent shells were recovered.
Investigations are ongoing.
