Corporal Ivor Williams AK-47 missing after Buxton attack
Kaieteur News: Williams was killed on Wednesday night after a Guyana Defence Force pickup came under attack in Buxton, and it is now believed that the weapon is in the hands of criminals.
Army sources confirmed that following the retrieval of Williams’s body, his gun is still to be found, although a magazine believed to have belonged to the weapon has been recovered.
The GDF has remained silent on this latest news, and it was clearly overshadowed by yesterday’s horrific massacre of 11 persons, among them five children, at Lusignan, East Coast Demerara.
Williams, 24, was killed while a colleague, 18-year-old Colwyn Torrington, of Agricola, sustained bullet wounds to his chest, right arm and right leg.
In the ensuing confusion, with soldiers more concerned with retrieving their wounded colleagues, it was reported that Williams’s gun disappeared.
