THE 21-year-old boyfriend of the late Sasia Adams was on Monday freed by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan of the manslaughter charge which was put against him in June, 2018.

Rick Sewcharran of Lot 22 Diamond Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara, was accused of pushing his 19-year-old girlfriend out a moving vehicle on June, 10, 2018, thereby causing her death. It was alleged that on the day in question, the vehicle was being driven by Sewcharran along Lamaha Street when the incident occurred, after an argument which ensued between the two.

The matter was thrown out by the chief magistrate due to the prosecution’s lack of sufficient evidence against the accused to prove he committed the crime. Sewcharran was represented by Attorney-at-Law, Sanjeev Datadin.

Reports are that on the day of the incident, the defendant had rushed Adams to a private hospital and told the nurses that she fell while at home. However, the victim told investigators a different story about what took place. The girl, who resided at East Street, Georgetown, was seeking treatment when she succumbed. The post-mortem results later revealed that she died due to trauma to her head.

Meanwhile, at court on Monday, the family of the late Sasia Adams broke down in tears following the verdict. Adams was an employee of the Ramada Georgetown Princess Hotel and was described by many as a jovial and polite young woman.
