According to a police press release, Robindath Deodat of 38 Zorgen Hoop Scheme, West Coast Berbice was charged following investigations into a fatal accident that occurred on June 19, 2008, at the Bath Public Road, West Coast Berbice, during which a pedestrian died after allegedly being struck down by a motor vehicle that was driven by him.
Meanwhile Gerald Depoo of 31 John Street, Port Mourant, Corentyne was also charged with causing death by dangerous driving. He was charged with causing the death of a pedestrian in a June 29 accident on the Public Road at Number 45 Village, Corentyne.
Both men have had their driver’s licences suspended pending the outcome of their matters.
First of all these men should not even have a license any time in the future. They should be punished and taken completely off the roads.It is because of these men pedestrians are at risk. The news staff did a great job. However, do they check their photos and materials before they even publish it? The picutre used for Gerald Depoo is not even his picture. It is picture of another individual. This gives the public a very bad impression of him. They should pay a lot more attention to these situations because if they don’t they will face lots of problems in the future. They should publish another article clearing this individuals name and proving that they are a reliable source that the people can rely on.
