…driver in custody
A 46-year-old Corentyne rice farmer is now in police custody assisting police with investigations after a deadly accident along
the Number 72 Village Public Road on Tuesday evening. Dead is 30-year-old Satesh ‘Ravi’ Ramdass of Number 72 Village.
According to reports, a motor pick-up, GHH 7827, heading along the eastern side of the road to Skeldon and driven by 46-year-old Christendeo Deo, of Lot 15 Line Path, Corriverton hit the man down.
Reports indicate that Deo did not stop. Instead, he continued driving for a further 136 feet, after which he stopped, apparently realizing what had happened. Ramdass was lying face down and was picked up in an unconscious condition with bruises to his chest and was rushed to the Skeldon Hospital.
His uncle, Eno Bharrat, said that his nephew, who owns his own speedboat service in the Corentyne River, was proceeding home on foot around 19:45 hrs on Tuesday evening, when he [the uncle] received a telephone call that “there was an accident and he [Satesh] was in the hospital.”
“I left the mandir and go to the Skeldon Hospital where I saw him dead on a stretcher,” “The pick- up knocked the boy and killed him,” he asserted.
“He (Deo) then stopped the vehicle and reversed,” Bharrat complained that he requested that the police administer a breathalyzer test to Deo, “and they said they have no breathalyzer.” “The police did not really ask him too many questions because like they are on his [Deo’s] side.”
Ramdass, who has been operating his own speed- boat service for many years, leaves to mourn his wife, Roma and three sons: Chris, 12; Rahul, 6; and 6- month- old Avinash.
His mother, Meenawattie is currently residing in the USA.
The driver is in police custody, and Ramdass’ body is awaiting a post- mortem examination.
