63-year-old Indo-Canadian man Rajan Deedar Gill was killed this week in an apparent home invasion robbery at his property in Nicaragua, local media are reporting.
According to Nicaraguan newspaper La Prensa, intruders burst into Gill’s home in Diriamba in the early morning hours Monday.
Officers say the property usually had a security guard, but he had the night off the day of the incident.
Police say Gill’s green van was stolen from the property, along with two safes. The van was found a few days later abandoned on the side of a highway. They found one of the safes on the back seat of the car.
