A 17-month-old baby boy lost his father yesterday after gunmen ran into their Gasparillo home and shot the man five times. Dead is 27-year-old Anthony Kevin Bissessar of Altima Drive, Marabella. He was a courier with BK Holdings in Couva. According to relatives, the young father was visiting his girlfriend of six years, Anisha Mohammed.
The murder took place at Mohammed’s family home at Parforce Trace, Bon Aventure, Gasparillo. Police said the shooting took place around 6.30 pm, and that two gunmen ran into the home and robbed the family while the father was in the bathroom.
One relative, who wished to remain anonymous, said the gunmen asked for “the fellah in the white jersey with the gold tooth.” The relative said they pulled back the lips of Mohammed’s two brothers, apparently searching for the gold tooth. They robbed the mother of a gold wedding band. The two men ran into nearby bushes, said police, who later found five spent shells.
“I want to see him, I want to see him,” wailed Anisha Mohammed when the DMO arrived after 8 pm last night. The family had been making plans to go on a trip.
