BRIAN Joseph, a 59-year-old retired Assistant Commissioner of Police, was on Friday released on $100,000 station bail pending investigations for his alleged involvement in a fatal motor vehicle accident that caused the death of 49-year-old Isgar Esau of Goed Fortuin, West Bank Demerara (WBD).

In a press release on Saturday, the Guyana Police Force (GPF) noted that the motorcar PZZ 6015, driven by Joseph, was proceeding west along the southern side of Meer Zorgen, WBD, when it collided with Esau’s motorcycle CH 7636.

“As a result of the collision,” the GPF release stated, “the motorcyclist fell onto the road surface where he received injuries to his head and body.”

Esau was reportedly picked up in an unconscious state by public-spirited citizens and taken to the West Demerara Regional Hospital where he was examined by a medical doctor, who pronounced him dead on arrival.

The body of Esau was then escorted to the Ezekiel Funeral Parlour for storage and a post-mortem examination.

“Notice of intended prosecution was served after a breathalyzer test was conducted on the driver and .000 % microgrammes of alcohol was found on his breath,” the GPF added in its release. Joseph was held in custody at the Wales Police Station.
