Human Services and Social Security Minister, Ms. Jennifer Webster, yesterday, visited the home of the Bagot’s family members who were killed on Wednesday evening when they were hit by a car on the Corentyne Highway. 

Minister Webster expressed sympathy on behalf of herself and the Government of Guyana to the relatives of sisters Tabithia Latoya Bagot, 19, and Wanita Bagot, 16 and their three-year-old niece, Shemaine Cort. She noted that it is indeed a tragic blow for the family to have lost three at one time in such a terrible way.
At the home, the relatives said that the mother of the two older girls is preparing to return to Guyana from New York, where she emigrated only two weeks ago.
The three girls were killed after a reportedly speeding motor car hit them from behind a few houses away from their Philippi, Corentyne home. At the time they were returning from a nearby shop. The sisters have five other remaining siblings. The younger sister should have written her final CSEC subject yesterday. The three-year-old child was their brother’s daughter.
Post-mortem examinations were performed yesterday and the funeral is scheduled for next week.
