Father of teen paralysed from hit-and-run skeptical of justice being served

Survivor: Reaz Shaw

The father of Reaz Shaw, the teen who is now paralysed after he was critically injured in last month’s hit-and-run accident along the Annandale, East Coast Demerara (ECD) Public Road, said he is positive his son will recover but has no confidence he will receive justice.

Yacoob Khan told Stabroek News on Saturday that he does not wish to proceed with the police aspect of the matter, nor with taking the matter to court, since there has been little or no progress to date.

“When yuh guh deh (the court) sometime yuh lose and how much years dah (the matter) ah tek fah done and sometime the man (driver) geh charge and get off and me guh end up with nothing,” Yacoob expressed.
