Devon Linel Deene

One year after their brother was killed by an alleged drunk driver along the Public Road at Albion, Corentyne, Berbice, two sisters are lamenting that there has been no justice in his case.

On September 21, 2015 Devon Linel Deene, 22, of Lot 22 Fyrish Village, Corentyne was returning home when he collided with a bus which was being driven by an allegedly intoxicated man.

According to information gathered, the driver of the bus had just left the annual Berbice Expo and Trade Fair where he was allegedly imbibing. Eye-witnesses at the time claimed that the driver of the bus was speeding and swerving on the road, when Deene, who was on a motorcycle attempted to overtake to enter a street and they collided. Deene hit the right side of the bus and pitched into a utility pole.
