Robert Durga, 62, was on Friday charged with causing the death of his wife and her uncle, after he allegedly lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a truck.
Durga, of Grove, East Bank Demerara, appeared before Magistrate Leron Daly at the Providence Magistrate’s Court where he was slapped with two charges,
which stated that on November 26, he drove a White Toyota Spacio, bearing licence plate PPP 2513, in a dangerous manner and caused the death of his wife, Rohanie Durga, 49, and her uncle, George Madhulall, 72.
