Man freed of causing death in Pomeroon boat collision

Ryan De Freitas

Tyrone Da Silva was on Wednesday discharged of the allegation of unlawfully killing Ryan De Freitas, who perished in a boat collision on the Pomeroon River back in 2016.

Counsel for the former-accused, Lachmi Dindayal, made a successful no-case submission which was upheld by trial judge Navindra Singh who then formally directed the jury to return a verdict of not guilty.

Justice Singh found that the prosecution had not presented sufficient evidence to commit the case for the jury’s consideration.
