A Guyana Defence Force (GDF) rank was yesterday released on $1 million bail after he was charged with causing the death of a pensioner, who was struck down five months ago along the Soesdyke Public Road.
It is alleged that Zamani Archibald, 24, drove a motor pickup, DFB 1566, on March 11, 2017, on the Soesdyke Public Road in a manner dangerous to the public, thereby causing the death of Harry Persaud.
Archibald, of Manchester, Corentyne, Berbice, denied the charge, which was read in a city court. Police prosecutor Vishnu Hunt made no objection to bail being granted and bail was subsequently set at $1 million bail by magistrate Judy Latchman.
