The relatives of 38-year-old Hilton Nedd who was killed in an accident last Monday are not satisfied with the manner investigation into his death is proceeding.
Nedd, a father of three of Diamond Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara (EBD) was killed by a truck on the Hope, East Bank Demerara Public Road.
Eyewitnesses had told this publication that the now dead man had “tripped” and jumped in front of the truck but his uncle, Thomas Nedd yesterday said that his nephew was not mentally ill.
Kaieteur News was told that the driver who killed Nedd was placed on $50,000 bail.
But Nedd’s relatives are claiming that this figure is too little for the death of someone. They said with the amount of money paid, the driver could disappear and never look back.
“It got people who did little crime, who did not cause someone their life and the bail they paid was much more than that,” Thomas Nedd said.
Nedd’s employer, a sawmill operator, Sanjay Ramdass, had told Kaieteur News, “He does work and when he tripped out, he does disappear for couple months and then come back.”
However, Thomas Nedd said that the father of three was a “flat foot hustler” and whenever he disappeared he would go out to sea with one of his cousins.
“He didn’t trip and disappear. Whenever the sawmill get slow, he does leave and go work with his cousin because he has kids to maintain,” the relative said. “People could say anything about him but you have to get the facts from his family.”
A post mortem performed on Wednesday revealed that he died from severely crushed lungs as a result of the accident.
