One female said that when she tried to find out from Suddie police about the progress of investigations, she was told her focus should not be on the station, but on her father who has been hospitalised.
The late fisherman was reportedly urinating on the shoulder of the Golden Fleece public road, after having crossed it at around 20:30 hrs, when he was struck down by the allegedly speeding car which was reportedly heading to Anna Regina. He was hurled several feet into the air before landing on the car bonnet, his body breaking the windscreen before hitting the ground.
The driver of the car allegedly tried to flee the scene of the accident, but was prevented from so doing by several residents who had seen what had transpired and declared that they knew the car’s registration number.
Rushed to the Suddie hospital, Bode Persaud was admitted to that institution, but died seven days later. His grieving wife, Daywattie, said she was shocked by the accident, and cried when she saw her husband in such a state in the hospital just three days before Christmas.
She commended the doctors and nurses at the Suddie hospital for the efforts they had made to save her husband’s life, and expressed her family’s appreciation for their efforts.
The mother of six daughters said she is seeking justice, and want a proper investigation to be conducted into the death of her husband, and for the law to take its course.
The late Bode Persaud was buried on Sunday, January 6, in an atmosphere of deep grief, and hundreds attended the funeral at Zorg, Essequibo Coast.
