According to the woman’s husband Gopaul Singh, he had just disembarked a GuySuco truck at the Nigg Post Office Street when he noticed a familiar bicycle on the road. He related that he saw several persons on the road but no one told him anything.

It was when he arrived home he was told “Deslyn” had not returned home. At that moment, he related, he took his bicycle and rode to the scene where his worse fears were confirmed. “When I reach out on the road, a lady ask me if is our bicycle. I said yes; then she tell me the person didn’t make it, let me check it at Port Mourant Hospital. At Port Mourant, I identified my wife’s dead body,” he said in tears.

According to the police, the motorcycle– owned and driven by 20-year-old Ramnarace of Chesney –collided with Armogan who was on her bicycle. Investigations revealed that the motorcyclist was proceeding east along the northern side of the road when Armogan, who was proceeding west along the northern side of the said road, turned into his path, resulting in a collision.

The dead woman’s husband related that before he left for work, he and his wife had a conversation about their youngest son and how well he is doing in school. He recalled during the said conversation, he cautioned her about using the roadways and to be careful.
