GDF patrol boat in the Essequibo River. The Joint Services attempted to post soldiers at all possible exit points for the escaping gunmen. However, if you are familiar with Bartica and the sourrounding terrain, you would know that this is almost impossible!
Bodies of the victims on a boat, as they were about to be transported to a nearby airstrip to be flown down to the Capital City.

The home of Gurudat Singh on 1st Avenue Bartica, this is one lucky man. Find out more in the following caption.
This is where the gunmen used a sledge hammer to break into Gurudat's home. Upon realizing that his home was under attack, he reportedly took his family of four into the ceiling via a trap door. As the gunmen barged into the upper flat of his home, they searched frantically for him and his family, unaware that they were in the ceiling. After a few minutes, they made off with several articles but thankfully Gurudat and his family were not added to their list of victims. Praise be to the Supreme One!
