Dead cop’s girlfriend thanks mother for not allowing her to go Linden

May 06, 2009 News

Twenty-year-old Felicia Bastiani is today thanking her mother for refusing to allow her to go to the Linden Town Week celebrations on Saturday night.
Bastiani, of Ann’s Grove, East Coast Demerara, was the fiancée of traffic policeman Trevor Bramble.
She was invited to go with him on the trip which ended tragically early Sunday morning.
The woman was initially believed to be among those who perished in the accident that claimed four lives.
In fact, on Sunday, this newspaper was directed to her house during enquiries about the accident victims.
However, she was found alive but shivering from the thought that she had escaped the carnage.
“She was to go but I stop she from going. I know accident does pass and I tell she don’t go and she was annoyed,” said Bastiani’s mother, Paula Williams.
Upon receiving the news that Bramble and others were killed in the accident, Bastiani screamed out, and this caused Williams to grab her and start screaming too.
They both are convinced that the decision not to go on the trip was as a result of Divine intervention.
According to the woman, on Saturday night Bramble had told her daughter with whom he had a two-year relationship, to meet him at the East Coast Demerara Bus Park. “She was actually there but did not see him,” Williams said.
Since the tragedy, Bastiani has had problems eating anything.
“While Trevor died, it’s a lot to do with the fact that she could have been there too. I tell she ‘Look how you coulda got me hollering fuh you too,’” Williams told this newspaper.
“I was angry at the time, but now I’m thanking my mother,” Bastiani said.
