Motorcyclist asked to lead defence to causing death charge

Senior Magistrate Leron Daly yesterday told Daniel Forrester, the motorcyclist who was charged last year with causing the death of a pedestrian in a collision at Bagotstown, on the East Bank of Demerara, that he would have to lead his defence in the matter.

Forrester is on trial on the charge that on September 12th, 2018, at Bagotstown Public Road, he rode motorcycle CJ 6345 in a manner dangerous to the public, thereby causing the death of Shawn Bruce.

During yesterday’s hearing, the accused heard from Magistrate Daly that there was sufficient evidence to have him lead his defence in the matter.
