Relatives seek info on hit-and run driver
Relatives of Rory Mohan are pleading for public-spirited individuals to help them identify the hit-and run driver who caused his death last week.
Mohan, 36, of Grove, East Bank Demerara and Howes Street, Charlestown, was struck down while cycling along the East Bank Demerara Public Road.

His body was found last week Monday on the western parapet near Farm. Police found Mohan’s bicycle at the scene.
They also found a trafficator and a side-view mirror, which a police official said may have come from a Canter truck or pickup.
However, police have been unable to track down the vehicle or the driver.
Rawl Mohan, a brother, had the traumatic experience of stopping at the scene and discovering that the accident victim was his own sibling.
Adding to his trauma is the fact that he lives on the East Bank of Demerara and has to pass the spot almost daily.
“Every time I think of him lying in that corner it is really upsetting,” he said yesterday.
Every time I have to pass the spot it brings back fresh memories…it is like a nightmare.
“These people (the hit-and-run driver)
have no feelings. They could have taken him to the hospital, but they left him on the road like a dead dog.”
Rory Mohan had spent most of his time at Howes Street, in order to take care of his ailing mother.
However, he would also ride daily to Grove, East Bank Demerara, to check on a family property and feed the dogs.
Relatives last saw Rory Mohan alive at around 17:00 hrs two Sundays ago when he left Howes Street on his bicycle for Grove.
The victim’s brother and other relatives said they had expressed concern about him cycling on the East Bank Demerara at night.
