Reports indicate that he previously visited a commercial bank and the Guyana Revenue Authority to complete business transactions for his employer. He was returning to work when he was killed.

He was attached to G & J Phone Car Investments where he worked as a marketing representative. Samaroo’s employer Rampertab Etwaroo said he received the news after 13:00hrs that bandits shot his employee.

He acknowledged that Samaroo had gone to run errands at a commercial bank and the Guyana Revenue Authority before stopping home for lunch. However, the employer said he had not conducted any financial transactions.

His father said after receiving the devastating news, he visited the Georgetown Public Hospital where his son had already succumbed to his injuries.

“I was at work when I got the message from my niece, and I left and went to the hospital, and he had already died,” the father stated.
