Fingers are being pointed at a senior police officer on the Essequibo Coast, after he reportedly drove his vehicle over a retired headmaster, killing him instantly on Monday last.
Kaieteur News understands that the victim, whose name was given as “Johnny”, is a well-known alcoholic in the area.
He worked with the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) in November.
Reports are that the Police Sergeant identified as “English”, was driving his vehicle around 19:15 hrs when the incident occurred.
He was said to be exiting the Charity Nursery School Street when he made a left turn leading him to the Charity Public Road. According to a police source, the Sergeant stated that there were a number of parked vehicles on the road and these posed as “problems for him”, but he continued along the said route. He abruptly stopped driving when he felt an impact.
Reportedly, the Sergeant exited his vehicle and discovered that he had driven over the body of a man. Some public-spirited persons assisted the officer in transporting “Johnny” to the Suddie Hospital where medical staff confirmed him dead on arrival.
Kaieteur News was told by a very senior officer that investigations are in full swing since the matter is being treated “like any other” and that “normal investigative initiatives” are being applied. An eyewitness said that the man was lying at the corner of the road when the police officer drove his vehicle over him. Meanwhile, the officer is contending that the man was lying on the roadway.
Additional reports are that the deceased’s families have severed ties with him for a number of years due to his alcoholic tendencies and when they were told of his death they did not “make a fuss.” This newspaper also understands that the Sergeant in question was recently adjudged as the “Best Cop” for Region Two.
