Death of elderly female pedestrian…DPP recommends charges for senior cop

Nov 05, 2016 News

The office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has recommended that an Assistant Superintendent of Police be charged with causing the death of 65-year-old Anmanie Deonarine, whom he struck down a month ago.
An official from the DPP’s office said yesterday that a file has been returned to the police with instructions that the rank, identified in media reports as ASP Jermaine Grant, be charged with causing death by dangerous driving.
Kaieteur News had reported in its October 11 edition that the file was first sent to the Acting Crime Chief for revision before being sent to the DPP.
According to reports, Deonarine, a mother of three, was pushing a bicycle east along the Vreed-en-Hoop, West Coast Demerara public road, when a car, PRR 4446, driven by an Assistant Superintendent of Police, veered further south and struck her.
She succumbed at the West Demerara Regional Hospital.
A police release stated that the rank, who was stationed on the West Demerara, was relieved of his duties.
The release also stated that a breathalyzer test was conducted on the Officer by the Traffic Chief himself and no trace of blood alcohol was recorded.
