A Number 64 Village, Corentyne man was remanded to prison yesterday when he appeared in the Springlands Magis-trate’s Court.
Tomashwar Brijlall, 32, a gas station bookkeeper of Number 64 Village, Corentyne, was yesterday charged with causing the death by dangerous driving of Irshad Mamood, a welder of Number 77 Village, Corentyne. He was not required to plead to the indictable charge.
Brijlall was also charged with failure to render assistance to Mamood, to which he plead not guilty.
Police Prosecutor, Inspector Bernard Browne objected to bail based on the gravity of the offence and the likelihood that the accused may not return for trial since he had reportedly fled the scene of the accident.
