Magistrate Tejnarine Ramroop imposed a $300,000 fine on a Rosignol minibus driver charged with causing death by dangerous driving when he appeared before him at the Blairmont Court on Monday.
It is alleged that on October 2, 2007, at Blairmont Stelling, 47-year-old Orin Mann, of 21 Rosignol Public Road, West Bank Berbice, drove minibus BJJ 9352 in a manner dangerous to the public resulting in the death of Joel Rafiudeen.
According to reports, three-year-old Rafiudeen was returning home from the Blairmont Nursery School when he was struck down. The child had reportedly exited another minibus and was about to cross the road when the collision occurred.
Mann, who is represented by attorney-at-law Perry Gossai, was not required to plead. He was ordered to appear at court on March 3 for report.
