The Black Bush Polder man who drove the truck in the gruesome Corentyne accident which left 12 persons dead in 2010 was yesterday found guilty on all 12 counts of causing death by dangerous driving at the High Court in Berbice.
Chetram Moonsammy, 45, was found guilty by a mixed jury. The indictment against him was that on October 29, 2010 at Suzanna Village, East Berbice, he drove motor lorry GLL 8863 in a manner dangerous to the public, resulting in the deaths of Oudit Narine Babulall, Marques Ault, Nazaradin Mahinudin, Salmaa Razac, Orlando De Mattos, Janet Baker, Cindy Jaggernauth, Lalita Mendonza, Patricia Asgerally, Josiah Khan, Salima Juman–Dinmohamed and Chetram Ramphal.
After the verdict, Justice Brassington Reynolds sentenced the man to nine years imprisonment on each count. However, he will serve the sentences concurrently.
