Blankenburg fatal accident… Mother, stepfather unaware of children’s death
While recovering from their injuries at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), the mother and stepfather of 10-month-old Marvin and his seven-year-old sister, Tina, have no idea that the children are dead.
In fact, they believe that the two children are at the home of a relative, playing and recovering from a few bruises.
Mark Halley, the stepfather, has no idea that once he is discharged from the hospital he will be charged with two counts of causing death by dangerous driving as a result of the accident which occurred two Tuesdays ago.
Kaieteur News understands that the children’s mother, Michelle Miguel, enquires about the children daily. To avoid further pain, her relatives would say that the children are doing well and that they were at home playing.
Also, the mother was informed that her son and daughter only suffered from a few scratches as a result of the accident.
At around 02:00 hrs two Tuesdays ago, Halley was reportedly proceeding west along the Blankenburg Public Road at a fast rate when he lost control of the vehicle he was driving and slammed into two parked vehicles, a Toyota Tundra and a mini bus.
Police believed that he was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident. He sustained head injuries and several broken bones while Miguel sustained injuries to her neck.
Following the collision, they were all rushed to the West Demerara Regional Hospital, where the children were pronounced dead on arrival.
Halley and Miguel were transferred to the GPHC where they remain patients.
