Drunk driver kills key witness in vigilante murder case

Jul 01, 2013 News

A woman who was a key witness in the May 9 vigilante-style killing of Alfred Munroe, was herself killed yesterday after being struck by a speeding driver.
Annie Persaud, 22, called ‘Short hair,’ was struck down early yesterday morning on Portuguese Quarters Public Road, Corentyne.
She succumbed several hours later.
The driver has been detained and Kaieteur News understands that a breathalyzer test showed that he was under the influence when the mishap occurred.
The driver, who resides at Paramaribo, Suriname, reportedly said that Persaud ran across the road and ended up in the path of his car.
It is alleged that the driver failed to stop but eyewitnesses pursued and apprehended him at Port Mourant and handed him over to the police.
Alfred Monroe, 43, called ‘Guana Man’, of Ulverston Corentyne, was beaten to death on May 9, by several civilians after being accused of stealing from a business establishment.
Annie Persaud, who was a vagrant, was also beaten.
Five persons have since been remanded for Monroe’s murder.
