Neighbours
said that about 05:40h they heard the sound of glass
breaking and some other noises, then they saw the
businessman’s wife, Rose, come out the yard with her
son and leave in a vehicle.
The
woman was visibly upset and grumbling to herself at
the time.
Neighbours
added that her brother was inside the house with the
businessman when they heard what sounded like a
gunshot, and soon after the wife returned with the
police.
She
and her brother were taken into custody.
The
businessman, who runs a restaurant in Annandale, also
operates a farm on the lower East Coast and previously
had a meat centre at the same location before he
closed down and moved to Atlantic Gardens, also on the
East Coast Demerara.
Zackarias
had been living here for more than 12 years.
The
man was described as a fun-loving neighbour and many
friends were present yesterday when his body was taken
from the house to a hearse.

“I
was at the restaurant Monday night and we had a drink
together and he was normal; so when I heard he was
dead I was so sad,” a friend explained.
Zackarias
was well-known for his generosity to everyone.
