A Bush Lot, Corentyne man appeared before Magistrate Krishendat Persaud at the Springland’s Magistrate’s Court for causing death by dangerous driving. Rajendra Bisram, 24, was charged for the death of 15-year-old Zani Munroe of Liverpool Village, Corentyne on Wednesday.
Zani Munroe of Lot 33 Liverpool Village and a Fourth Form student of the Manchester Secondary School was riding her bicycle just after 17:00 hrs.
Bisram, who was transporting reef sand on truck GLL 8938, registered in the name of G. Heeram of Friendship, Corentyne, was heading to New Amsterdam, when he hit the child; exited the vehicle and fled the scene upon close examination of what had happened to the child.
Villagers ran after him to give him a sound thrashing, but were unsuccessful, so they started to destroy the windscreen of the vehicle in anger and retaliation.
He was placed on $1M bail and ordered to return to court on March 19, 2013.
