A city magistrate yesterday found motorcyclist Melroy Barnwell guilty of causing the death of his pillion rider in an accident that occurred in June last year.
It was alleged that Barnwell, on June 20, 2016, at Houston Public Road, rode a motorcycle in a manner dangerous to the public, thereby causing the death of Colette Josiah.
Barnwell was found guilty of the crime by trial Magistrate Fabayo Azore after an examination of the evidence of the prosecution’s witnesses. The matter has been adjourned until November 30, when sentencing is expected to be passed.
On the day of the accident, Barnwell was proceeding south on the western side of the eastern carriageway of the Houston Public Road.
