A Coroner’s Inquest into the death of Sew Persaud, who was reportedly struck down last year August along the Diamond Public Road, commenced yesterday with evidence from two police witnesses.

The inquest, which is to determine if anyone is criminally liable for the death of Persaud, is being conducted in Georgetown by Magistrate Judy Latchman, who is presiding as the Coroner.

Sergeant Keith Conway, who is stationed at the Grove Police Station and attached to Criminal Investigation Department (CID) as the subordinate officer-in-charge of crime, was the first to testify.
