A 26-year-old tailor was on Friday, January 18, 2019, due to the lack of evidence, freed from the charge of killing another man during a hit-and-run accident at Herstelling, East Bank Demerara back in 2017.

Ryan Seecharran of Herstelling was on trial before Senior Magistrate Fabayo Azore for the charge which read that on June 24, 2017, at Third Street Herstelling, East Bank Demerara, he drove motor car PVV 4911 in a manner dangerous to the public, causing the death of Kalicharan Goordial.

Seecharran was also charged with failing to render assistance to Goordial and failing to stop the vehicle after the accident. The accused was represented by attorneys-at-law Glen Hanoman and Everton Singh-Lammy.

The magistrate, on Friday, January 18, 2019, ruled that the prosecution failed to prove its case due to insufficient evidence and, also, the eyewitness’ evidence was off. The case was dismissed.

According to reports, the incident occurred at 15:00hrs on the day in question at Third Street, Herstelling, a few streets away from Goordial’s home in Creek Dam.
It was alleged that Seecharran, the driver of the motor car PVV 4911, was turning a corner when he collided with Goordial. During the police investigation, it was revealed that Goordial was intoxicated and was lying in the centre of the cross-street, which adjoins to Third Street.

The driver of the motor car fled the scene and the injured man was taken to the Diamond Diagnostic Centre by residents nearby. Goordial was pronounced dead on arrival at the centre.
