Laurent McGarrell, the Golden Grove man charged with causing the death of his common-law wife, who died after they fell from a motorbike along the East Bank of Demerara public road, was yesterday fined a total of $75,000 after he pleaded guilty to four traffic offences.
McGarrell, 24, a forklift operator, was first charged last month with riding motorcycle CJ 1957, on July 23, 2017, at Providence, in a manner dangerous to the public, thereby causing the death of Gaitri Sahadeo. He was also read several other traffic charges by Magistrate Sunil Scarce and he had pleaded guilty.
However, McGarrell opted to change his plea to guilty to four of the charges yesterday, when he reappeared before Magistrate Scarce in Georgetown.
