The widow of East Coast Demerara biker Jonathan Validen says three weeks after her husband crashed and died, she is yet to see the video supporting the police’s claim that he toppled.
Jennifer Validen is of the opinion that her husband was hit by another vehicle and is disappointed that she never saw the video which purportedly captured him toppling on his own. The grieving widow said that the last she heard from the police, no arrest had been made. She added that despite making known her interest in viewing the video to the police, she was told that that would not be possible since they were still attempting to acquire it.
Jonathan Validen, 43, a national of Canada, who lived at 2738 Pigeon Island, East Coast Demerara (ECD), was found on the roadway motionless at Montrose ECD by his brother-in-law on November 12. He was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Jennifer said that besides her dissatisfaction at the police investigation, she and the couple’s baby are doing fine.
Following the man’s death, Validen’s lawyer, Jerome Khan, had told Stabroek News that his client feared for his life. Khan said that Validen had also previously expressed such fears and had said that he wouldn’t live long.
