Police have charged 35-year-old, Marlon Murray, in connection with Saturday’s accident at Diamond in which 58-year-old Cheryl David was killed. Murray, of Craig, East Bank Demerara, was charged with causing death by dangerous driving yesterday after appearing in the Providence Magistrate’s Court before Magistrate Priya Beharry.
Dead: Cheryl David
He was released on $135,000 bail and is to return to court on April 3.
It is alleged that Murray was driving west along the main road leading out of Diamond Housing Scheme on Sunday when he slammed into a culvert.
One of his passengers, Cheryl David, of Nineteenth Street Diamond New Scheme, was pinned for several minutes in the mangled vehicle.
She was pronounced dead on arrival at the Diamond Diagnostic Centre when rescuers finally managed to pull her free.
Three other passengers sustained minor injures.
