As investigations continue into the fatal accident of a Chinese national who was struck down on Mandela Avenue last Thursday, the driver of the motor car has since been released on $100,000 station bail. He had spent more than 72 hours in police custody.
A post mortem which was done on Monday by Government Pathologist Nehaul Singh revealed that 43 year-old Xue Fang Feng, of Lot 195 Mandela Avenue died of multiple injuries.
Information reaching this publication also stated that a file has been sent to the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) for advice on any further charges.
According to reports, Feng was returning home and was about to cross the second half of Mandela Avenue when she was struck by the taxi and thrown several feet away.
When Kaieteur News arrived at the scene of the accident, the mangled body of Feng was lying on the road covered with a white, bloodstained sheet as police officers tried to clear the backed-up traffic.
It was also related that Feng and her mother were robbed and beaten the night before the accident. A source, on that occasion, noted that about 10:45 pm last Wednesday, Feng was at the counter of the restaurant when three men, one of whom was armed with a gun, demanded cash and threatened to kill her.
The source added that the men then called the two women out along with other men (cooks) and began to beat them.
After the robbery, the men sped off in a motorcar. The restaurant had remained closed the entire day.
