Accused in ‘Six Head’ causing death trial for February 27 sentencing
Manx Powers, 33, of Campbellville, Georgetown, who is on trial for causing the death of Andrew ‘Six Head’ Lewis by dangerous driving will know his fate on February 27.
Charged: Manx Powers
Magistrate Fabayo Azore will make her ruling on that day after the prosecution and defendant lead their defence again.
Manx and his attorney Peter Hugh were both present in court yesterday awaiting the ruling but instead they were told that the ruling will be on February 27. Manx had given an unsworn statement yesterday.
In a previous sitting of the court the prosecution closed the case by calling an emergency medical technician/ambulance driver to the stand.
The witness testified to picking up Lewis from the road and transporting him to the East Bank Demerara Regional Hospital, where Lewis was pronounced dead.
Powers is currently out on $250,000 bail and as a condition attached to bail the defendant was instructed to lodge his passport and report to the Subordinate Officer in charge of the Golden Grove Police Station Traffic Department.
According to reports, Lewis, a former world Welterweight boxing champion, was riding his bicycle on May 4, 2015 at New Hope, East Bank Demerara on his way to visit a friend, when he was struck down by a car driven by the defendant. Lewis was attempting to cross the road.
