Devon Bellamy was three days short of celebrating his 30th birthday when he was fatally struck down by a speeding jeep early yesterday morning along the East Bank Demerara public road.
Around 1.30 am yesterday, Bellamy had just crossed the road and was standing on the road side when a speeding Suzuki jeep, travelling from Georgetown, slammed into his body. He was pitched some 115 yards away from where the vehicle first hit him.
A cousin of Bellamy, Keyon (only name given) said he was with Bellamy when the incident occurred.
