Son charged for causing father’s death by accident
Fizal Mohamed
– on $450,000 bail
Apart from dealing with the death of his father, 21-year-old Fizal Mohamed got one more thing to worry about when he was charged yesterday for causing the death of his father by accident.
Mohamed faced Magistrate Hazel Octive-Hamilton at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
The charge states that on August 19 at Land of Canaan, East Bank Demerara, he drove his vehicle PKK 5609 dangerously. It is alleged that the man drove the car in such a manner as to cause the death of his father, Rafeek Mohamed.
Attorney-at-law Paul Fung-a-Fat, who represented Mohamed, asked for reasonable bail and told the court that the accused lived with his sick mother at Friendship Squatting Area, East Bank Demerara. The lawyer said his client had been locked up for four days and is still grieving his father’s death.
No objection was made by the prosecution, with only a request for substantial bail, owing to the seriousness of the offence.
Mohamed was granted bail to the tune of $450,000 bail and will return to court on October 12.
According to reports, Rafeek Mohamed who was a coconut vendor lost his life at around 19:30 hours on Sunday last, when the car in which he was a passenger slammed into a pick-up near Land of Canaan, East Bank Demerara. He was travelling with his son, wife, daughter-in-law and two other family members.
Reports are that Fizal Mohamed had swerved from a car which was about to turn into the Barama Company’s compound.
