$325,000 bail for E’bo driver accused of fleeing scene after fatal accident
Jason Persaud was yesterday charged with causing death by dangerous driving, after he appeared in the Leguan Magistrate’s Court before Magistrate Esther Sam.
On bail: Jason Persaud
It is alleged that the 21 year old accused last Monday, drove his motor car in a reckless manner, resulting in the Death of Govinda Prashad.
The charge read that on October 28th on the Evergreen Public Road on the Essequibo Coast, the accused drove motorcar PXX 6207 in a dangerous and reckless manner, resulting in the death of 21 years old Govinda Prashad, of Somerset, Essequibo Coast.
The accused was not required to plea to this charge, and was subsequently placed on $300,000 bail following his attorney’s bail application.
His attorney pointed out that Persaud has a fixed place of residence on the Essequibo Coast, and as such is not a flight risk.
The accused was also charged with failure to render assistance to an injured person, failure to stop after an accident and driving under the influence of alcohol. To these charges he pleaded not guilty and was granted bail to the tune of $25,000. The matter has since been adjourned to November 25th at the Charity Magistrate’s Court, Essequibo Coast.
