Jun 20, 2013 News

Five days after being hospitalized under police guard, at the Suddie Public Hospital, police have released Paulo on station bail. The Wakenaam speedboat driver, was involved in a boat accident at Supenaam, and was hospitalized with Hypertension following the June 14 accident.
Paulo’s release came after a Post Mortem examination was conducted on 32-year-old Ganesh Roopnarine, a/k “Shines”.
Roopnarine was formerly of Barnwell, West Coast Demerara and Affiance, Essequibo Coast. He died of Multiple Injuries according to Pathologist Dr. Nehaul Singh.
Meanwhile, police are pursuing advice from the Chambers of the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP), pertaining to charges stemming from the boat collision.
Initial reports have suggested that Roopnarine, who was described as a seasoned speedboat operator who plied the Supenaam/Parika route, was killed on June 14, at Supenaam after he sustained a severe blow to his head.  He was struck by a boat driven by Paulo. The collision occurred after Roopnarine’s boat encountered problems and was drifting in the Essequibo River.
Paulo was at the time transporting five passengers to Wakenaam. His boat was not equipped with a “bow man”, who could have alerted him to Roopnarine’s stranded boat. Paulo had emerged from the Supenaam Creek area.
