Cops still to make arrests in hit-and-run deaths

May 08, 2010 News

Police appear to have made no progress in identifying the culprits in the hit-and-run fatalities in Diamond Housing Scheme and Mandela Avenue.
A police official told Kaieteur News yesterday that the investigation into the Good Friday night death of 27-year-old Ramona Harris is incomplete.
But the official said he had no information about reported attempts by investigators to locate the overseas-based man who may have been driving the vehicle.
Traffic Chief Neil Semple had revealed that the owner of the car, Mahase Chunilall, of Lot 36 South Better Hope, East Coast Demerara, was charged with breach of insurance and permitting the use of an uninsured vehicle.
According to police, Mahase’s vehicle, PMM 3248—formerly HB 6471—was uninsured at the time.
Mahase has denied that he was at the wheel when Ms. Harris was killed and claimed that an overseas-based relative, who has returned overseas, had borrowed the vehicle and returned it damaged.
Ramona Harris, who has a one-year-old daughter, was walking along the main road in Diamond Housing Scheme on Good Friday night when a car struck her from behind. The driver fled the scene.
Police have made even less progress in the April 17 hit-and-run death of motorcyclist Gregory Greaves. A female eyewitness has told police that 29-year-old Greaves was crushed by a white sports utility vehicle (SUV), but was unable to provide a licence number.
Greaves’ relatives allege that a bus driver had given them a licence number of a gold-coloured Tundra which he claimed had run over Greaves. But police said that investigations revealed that the information was inaccurate.
Greaves, called ‘Bald Head’, of Lot 589 West Ruimveldt Housing Scheme, was riding east along Mandela Avenue in the vicinity of Shirley Field-Ridley Square, when he lost control and fell on the roadway.
Eyewitnesses said that he was about to stand when a Honda CRV, which was reportedly travelling in the same direction, ran over him, crushing his skull in the process. The driver then fled the scene.
