Kitty businessman beaten, robbed at gunpoint

…relieved of phone, passport and cash

A 63-year-old Kitty businessman was on Thursday robbed and beaten by three unidentifiable armed men at his Pike Street, premises.

The businessman, Nohardauth Saywack, who lives in the upper flat of the two storey structure, was robbed of one plum cellular phone bearing sim number 690-6525 valued $12,000, his passport containing ‘Green Card’ and an undisclosed sum of cash.

At about 07:35h, Saywack said he was in the lower flat of his two storey premises when one of the suspects entered the shop and pretended to be a customer. Upon attending to the suspect, he pulled a handgun from his pants waist, pointed it at the businessman, hit him to the face and then demanded cash.

The two other suspects entered the shop thereafter, ransacked it and relieved the businessman of the aforementioned items.

They made good their escape in an unknown direction.

Investigations are ongoing.
