Woman charged with causing death

Jul 28, 2011 News

Kuntudai Singh, who was charged with dangerous driving causing death, was yesterday sent on her own recognizance. She denied the allegation brought against her.
When Singh made her appearance before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court she heard that on February 26, last, she drove motorcar, PLL 9996 in a manner dangerous to the public and caused the death of Nigel Genet.
The Prosecution told the court on the day of the incident about 17:00 hours, the accused drove the motor vehicle north along the western side of Camp Street. At the same time, the deceased was riding motorcycle CF 4132 south along the eastern side of Camp Street. He turned to cross the western carriageway.
The accused had the right of way because the traffic light was showing green indicating to her that she should carry on, the court heard.
The accused proceeded and while she was half way across the road the motorist rode into her path and they collided.
The deceased received injuries, and as a result he was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
Singh, 30, of Lot 12 Non Pareil was represented by Attorney at Law Vic Puran who made a successful application for his client to receive self bail in stating that his client was in police custody for two days, and during that time no one visited the station with a different version to the prosecution’s facts.
The matter is set for continuation on August 29.
