Kaieteur News – A 30-year-old security guard of 96 James Street, Albouystown, Georgetown, was on Monday remanded to prison when he appeared in court on a causing death by dangerous driving charge.
Shawn Julian Tapings appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts, before Magistrate Rondell Weever, where the charge was read to him. He was not required to plea to the charge.
