– placed on $200,000 bail

Thirty-four year-old Ann Abigail Arthur, of South Ruimveldt Park, was yesterday placed on $200,000 bail for causing death by dangerous driving when she made her first appearance before Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
The allegation is that on August 23, at the Providence Public Road, she drove motor car PLL 2595, in a dangerous manner which resulted in the death of Dindyal Chetram.
To the charge, Arthur pleaded not guilty. Attorney at Law Neil Bollers, represented her.
The court was told that Arthur is gainfully employed at the Guyana Revenue Authority’s Income Tax Office. It was also noted that at present, Arthur is attending the University of Guyana.
Police Prosecutor Lionel Harvey did not object to bail, but noted that the accident occurred because Arthur was speeding.
The defendant’s lawyer at this point interjected and stated that he did not wish to expose the facts of the case, but the court must know that his client was not speeding.
According to the lawyer, the victim had wandered into the middle of the road when he was struck down.
The magistrate subsequently granted the woman bail and ordered her to return to court on October 29.
The man’s body took almost two days to be identified by relatives. The man’s sister Radika Chetram stated that she had left her brother at a wedding house. The woman said she was expecting her brother to visit her the following day but he never showed up. It was only after this newspaper had published the man’s picture that relatives recognised him.
Checks were made at the Georgetown Mortuary where they positively identified him.
