Driver charged for causing death of Chinese national

Aug 09, 2013 News

Leron Griffith, 25, of 809 Festival City, North Ruimveldt, was yesterday remanded to prison and had both of his licences suspended on a charge for causing death by dangerous driving. The accused appeared before Magistrate Judy Latchman at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
The charge states that on May 31 on Mandela Avenue, Griffith drove a car, HC2408, in a dangerous manner, ultimately causing the death of Xue Fang Feng.
The defendant pleaded not guilty.
While the records of the police were not disclosed in open court as investigations are still ongoing, newspaper reports revealed that Feng at the time of her death was 43 years old, a mother of two, and was a resident of Lot 195 Mandela Avenue, Georgetown.
Prosecutor Vishnu Hunt objected to the defendant being granted bail considering the seriousness of the offence, the penalty it attracts and the fact that if such a condition is approved, he may not return for his trial.
After advice was given by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), the prosecutor advanced his application for the defendant’s two driver’s licences to be suspended as he referred to Section 112 of the Traffic Offences Act to add credence to his submission.
The prosecutor’s objection and application were upheld and statements were ordered to be filed for Griffith’s next court appearance which is expected to be on September 10 before Chief Magistrate Priya Beharry.
