South Ruimveldt man charged for death of pedestrian

Feb 14, 2019 News

Aaron Mahadeo, 33, from Stevedore Housing Scheme South Ruimveldt was yesterday placed before the court to answer an allegation made out against him for death by dangerous driving.
The charge read that on November 21, 2018 at Aubrey Barker Road, the accused drove motor car HC 7451 in a manner dangerous to the public, thereby causing the death of Carlisle Clementson.
Mahadeo pleaded not guilty to the charge after it was read to him by Principal Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
Police prosecutor Bisram Ramjattan objected to bail being granted to the defendant based on the seriousness of the offence, the prevalence of the offence and the penalty the allegation attracts. The prosecutor further objected to bail based on the fact that a life was lost.
The charge indicated that on the day in question, Mahadeo was driving east along the northern carriageway at a fast rate when he lost control of his vehicle and collided with the now dead man who at the time was crossing the road.
As a result of the collision the victim fell on the road surface and received injuries. Clementson was picked up in a semi-conscious state and rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he was admitted as a patient.
However, Clementson succumbed to his injuries on December 3, 2018.
Principal Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus granted bail in the sum of $350,000 under the condition that he report to the East La Penitence Police Station every Friday. The matter was adjourned to March 5, 2019.
