ESSEQUIBO Magistrate, Mr. Sunil Scarce on Tuesday remanded Deyal Singh to prison when he appeared before him at the Anna Regina Court to answer to a charge of ‘Causing Death by Dangerous Driving’ on two counts.

According to a Police report, on January 17, Singh, of Perserverance Village, on the Essequibo Coast, drove in a dangerous manner to the public, killing Mumtaz Baksh, 72, and his con, Rafmat Baksh, 44 on the Land of Plenty Public Road.
Singh was represented by Attorney-at-Law Rajkumar, whose request for bail was denied by the Magistrate on the grounds that road accidents on the Essequibo Coast are becoming too prevalent.
Singh is due to return to Court on February 19.
