Sewkumar Singh, the minibus driver charged with causing the death of the 66-year-old cyclist with whom he collided along the Herstelling Public Road in September, on Monday blamed the deceased for the accident.
Singh is on trial before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan on the charge that on September 19, at Herstelling, he drove minibus BLL 3749 in a manner dangerous to the public, thereby causing the death of Basil Rambarran.
Magistrate McLennan has already found that a prima facie case was made out against Singh and ordered that he lead his defence at the last hearing.
