–victim suffered broken neck

TRISHANT Sukhoo, 18, of Section ‘B’, Non Pariel, East Coast Demerara, has turned himself over to the police after killing thirty five-year-old barber and father of one, Gopaulram Dass, in a hit-and-run accident Sunday morning.

Yesterday the Guyana Chronicle was informed that the young man turned himself over to the police at Vigilance, in the company of his father. He was then taken into custody and handed over to the police at Sparendaam.
A post mortem on the body of the dead man revealed that he had died of a broken neck.
On Sunday morning, at approximately 01.00hr, on the Vryheid’s Lust Public Road, the vehicle driven by Sukhoo struck Dass as he was crossing the road. The teenaged driver refused to stop and proceeded about his business, leaving the father of one to die on the roadside.
Dass was picked up by a friend and was taken to the Woodlands Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
