Cybercrime Trial Takes a Dangerous Turn: Gunman Fires at Photographer's Home

Photographer: Keron Bruce
  In a shocking incident, a gunman opened fire at the home of a photographer who is currently on trial for cybercrime charges. Let's get into the details.

Last night, at around 10:30 pm, a gunman arrived on a motorcycle and fired eight rounds at the Eccles, Easy Bank Demerara (EBD) home of photographer Keron Bruce, who is currently on trial for cybercrime charges. Fortunately, no one was injured during the attack, as Bruce, his wife, and son were at home at the time of the incident.

According to reports, the gunman hit Bruce's house and a vehicle in the yard. The police were alerted and arrived at the scene shortly after the incident. The investigation is ongoing, and no arrests have been made yet.

Keron Bruce, a father of two, is on trial before Diamond/Golden Grove Magistrate Sunil Scarce, accused of being the person behind the social media cartoon character “Mudwata”. The police have alleged that “Mudwata” made slanderous publications about several individuals, which is in violation of the Cybercrime Act.

In January 2022, the police arrested Bruce and several other individuals on allegations of the cartoon character slandering persons. The police have said that they seized several pieces of equipment from a house at DD Eccles, EBD, and collected several voice messages that matched with the “Mudwata” commentary.

The incident at Keron Bruce's home has raised concerns about the safety of individuals involved in cybercrime cases. We hope that the police will take swift action to ensure the safety of everyone involved and that justice will be served in this case. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
