TRUCK driver, Orette Best of Charity was remanded to prison Tuesday when he appeared before Essequibo Magistrate Sunil Scarce at the Anna Regina Court to answer to a charge of ‘Causing Death by Dangerous Driving’.

The charge against Best, who was not required to plea, was that on Sunday, January 19, at Charity, he drove a heavy-duty truck in such a dangerous manner as to cause the death of three-year-old Josiah Persaud.
He was represented by Rajkumar, Attorney-at-Law, whose request for bail was denied by the Magistrate.
He is to return to Court on February 18.
