Feb 01, 2013 News

 

Hyptilall Ramadin, also known as ‘Buddy’, the suspended boat captain who was assigned with the Region Two Administration, has been charged with manslaughter stemming from the death of six persons, on December18, last.
Ramadin will make his first appearance at the Suddie Magistrate’s Court, today. Police in the Region recently received the file which was sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions for advice.
Harrynarine Bhagwandeen, 40; Vincent Singh, 42; Zelda Rodriguez, 50, Shawn Anthony, 14; Amrita and her brother Rajkumar Singh, all of Abrams Creek, in the Upper Pomeroon River and Charity Housing Scheme, died as a result of a boat collision on the aforementioned date.
Initial reports have suggested that the Region Two boat piloted by Ramadin was proceeding south while Bhagwandeen’s boat was traveling in the opposite direction. Ramadin’s boat collided with and ran over Bhagwandeen’s boat.
Ramadin was taken into police custody subsequently, but was released on $60.000 bail.
The lone survivor in the mishap, 12-year-old Ornan Rodriguez, sustained head injuries. The child who lost both his mother, Zelda, and brother, Anthony, is in the custody of his uncle, Pastor Sherman Lyte.
He currently attends the Kabakuri Primary School. Counseling was guaranteed to him by senior members of the Alliance For Change who recently visited the grieving family.
