Death of garbage collector…

Dead: Zameer Isfehani

Kaieteur News – Yesterday, almost three months after the horrific accident that claimed the life of 45-year-old garbage collector, Zameer Isfehani, the driver of the canter that was involved in the accident was released on $600,000 bail.
The defendant, Sean Walters, made his first appearance in the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court before Magistrate Rushelle Liverpool.
Walters was not required to plead to the indictable charge of causing death by dangerous driving. However, the Administration of Justice Act (AJA) was applied thereby allowing the defendant to answer to the charge.
He pleaded not guilty to the charge which alleged that on August 4, 2020, at Montrose Public Road, East Coast Demerara, he drove in a manner dangerous to the public thereby causing the death of Isfehani of Leonora, West Coast Demerara.
Magistrate Liverpool then granted Walters bail and the matter was adjourned to November 17, 2020.
It was reported that on the day in question, at around 05: 30hrs, Isfehani was standing behind the truck with a colleague close by. In video footage of the accident, Isfehani was seen placing an object into the back of the truck while engaged in a conversation with his colleague. Within seconds, the speeding canter slammed into the back of the truck crushing Isfehani in the process.
Isfehani reportedly died instantly. Both of his legs were crushed and completely severed from his body.
