Kevin Critchlow, of Lot 40 Goedverwagting, East Coast Demerara, the father who was accused of going ‘berserk’ and allegedly threatening nurses, Tenesha Harry and Latoya Kellman, at the Plaisance Centre in March, made his third Court
appearance at the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court, on Monday.
The court hearing was once again postponed, given the absence of the Virtual Complainants (VCs). The matter will be called again on July 22, 2015.
Critchlow was charged with threatening language and threatening behaviour against the nurses. The matter was adjourned to May 8, 2015. He was released on $10,000 bail for each charge. On his second appearance the matter was called off given the absence of the VCs and his lawyer, Dexter Todd.
On the day in question it was alleged that Critchlow, being armed with a cutlass in one hand while bearing the coffin of his son in the other hand went into the Plaisance Health Centre, making threatening remarks towards the nurses; “ Blood will shed here today” as he chopped a table before leaving the facility.
However he has since maintained his innocence as he opined that the accusations being leveled against him are strategies being used by the health practitioners to distract the focus from the investigations into his son’s (Kevon Critchlow), death.
The man and his wife, Suemede Critchlow, are adamant that the child died because of negligence on the behalf of nurses who had attended to him on his clinic date.
Baby Kevon died less than 24 hours after he was given an injection by nurses at the Plaisance Health Centre. He died on March 19, 2015.
A preliminary post mortem had indicated that the child died of brain haemorrhage. Blood samples were taken for further testing, to ascertain what had caused the haemorrhaging. However after a prolonged period which exceeded the maximum of two weeks schedule, the results came back as “brain haemorrhage”.
The parents are left distraught and with unanswered questions as they were never told what had caused the haemorrhage in the child’s brain.
The Minister of Public Health, Dr. George Norton, had said that the case is a very interesting one because of the location of the haemorrhage. He said that to investigate the matter there will be need for overseas intervention and that could be costly.
