Almost four months after Ann Mohammed was struck down and killed minutes from her work place at Coverden, East Bank Demerara, no one has been charged and her family is pleading with the authorities for swifter justice.
“To be honest, I went myself to the DPP [Director of Public Prosecutions] and I was told that the report they [the police] brought they [DPP] can’t understand it cause it mix up,” Ann’s husband Vinood Mohammed told Stabroek News last week.
Mohammed said he will not sit around and let his wife’s death go without justice. “I think the car driver need to be charged because he is the one that undertake and hit the girl and kill she and when I look back at the scene and think about everything it don’t make sense otherwise…
“I am pleading and begging for justice or at least for something to happen cause nothing ain’t happening. My children and me are left to wonder about what will happen,” Mohammed said, reinforcing that the man who is supposed to be charged is still on the road driving while his wife is dead. He said the man is often seen driving recklessly on the East Bank Highway.
“Is like he forget he knock down somebody. Or is a cow he knock down? What if he knock down somebody else and kill them?
Then you gonna hear a next story. It seems as if when you don’t know people in this place you don’t get anywhere especially with justice,” the distraught man said.
The 34-year-old woman was crossing the East Bank Highway in front of her workplace, the Prairie Hotel, when she was killed in a crash.
An eyewitness had claimed that a Toyota Hilux had just turned out of the yard and onto the road about 100 feet from where the incident occurred. While the Hilux was driving south towards Mohammed, a speeding Toyota Fielder tried to overtake the Hilux, hitting Mohammed and crashing into the Hilux.
However, the police had stated that the Fielder crashed into the Hilux which then spun out of control, hitting Mohammed.
