Haroon Eshack, the taxi driver who crashed into a parked truck along the Chelsea Public Road, at Mahaica, was yesterday charged with the causing the death of his passenger, UK-based Guyanese Bibi O’Donovan.
Eshack, 66, of West Coast Berbice, was denied bail by Sparendaam Magistrate Zamilla Ally-Seepaul, who was told that the man was previously involved in a fatal accident in Berbice where three persons had been killed.
Eshack, it is alleged, drove his car, HC 6753, in a manner dangerous to the public, thereby causing the death of O’Donovan on August 17 along the Chelsea Public Road. He was not required to plead to the charge.
Police Prosecutor David Goodridge sternly objected to Eshack getting bail, while noting that he has a pending matter of a similar nature in Berbice.
