Corentyne accident victim dies
…police prosecutor still in custody
Troy ‘Lil Man’ Liverpool, 38, of 22 Queen Street, Courtland Village, Corentyne, who was struck down by a police prosecutor’s car on Monday evening died early yesterday morning at the Georgetown Public Hospital.
The 38- year- old cane harvester was struck from behind while walking with the mother of his child on the Fyrish Public Road. He was rushed to the hospital in a critical condition.
DEAD: Troy Liverpool
Relatives allege that the driver, identified as Inspector Michael Grant, who is also prosecutor on the Upper Corentyne, attempted to drive away but was stopped by angry onlookers, who forced him to return to the scene.
The officer has been placed under close arrest and his car, a black Toyota NZE (PMM831), has been impounded at the Central Police Station, New Amsterdam.
Grant was reportedly forced to take the injured Liverpool to the New Amsterdam Hospital before he was taken into police custody. Now that the victim has died, charges are expected to be laid against Inspector Michael Grant, who up to press time yesterday was still under close- arrest.
Kaieteur News was informed, too, that Shaundell Simpson, the mother of Liverpool’s child, who witnessed the accident, will be giving a statement to the police to be used in the investigations and the prosecution’s case against Grant.
