CHIEF Magistrate Ann McLennan, on Thursday, November 28, 2019, granted $700,000 bail to a 34-year-old Corporate Secretary who was charged for cause of death.
Tawana Clarke of Norton and Haley Streets, Wortmanville, appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ court and pleaded not guilty to the charge.

Particulars of the charge stated that, on November 25, 2019, at Brickdam and Chalmers Place, she drove motorcar PMM 2528, in a manner dangerous to the public, causing the death of Carl Roach.

Attorney-at-law Dexter Todd, who represented Clarke, requested reasonable bail for his client.

Police Prosecutor Neville Jeffers objected to bail being grant to Clarke based on the nature of the offence, and stated that a life was lost as a result of the accident.

Jeffers also told the court that, on the day in question, around 00:30 hours, Clarke was the driver of the said motor car and was proceeding east along Brickdam, and, as she approached Chalmers Place, she turned south without stopping and collided with Motorcycle CH 9436. The rider (Carl Roach) was flung 150 ft. from the impact and received multiple injuries. He died on the spot.

Magistrate McLennan released Clarke on $700,000 bail and ordered her to report to Alberttown police station every Friday until the matter is completed. The matter was adjourned until December 16, 2019.
