Lennox De Nobrega, 36 of 7 Church Street, Cummingsburg, Georgetown, appeared before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
It is alleged that on October 14 at Mandela Avenue, Georgetown, he drove motor car PRR 7624 in a manner dangerous to the public causing the death of 17-year-old Jhamallie Miles.
The defendant was represented by Attorney-at-law Charles Ramson Jr. The lawyer asked that bail be granted to his client since he has no previous or pending matters.

According to reports, Miles, who was attempting to cross the road, dashed in front of the De Nobrega’s vehicle when he was struck. He was then picked up and rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
De Nobrega was instructed to make his next court appearance on January 15.
