Berbice lawmen are still on the hunt for the driver who hit two men, leaving a 19-year-old labourer dead along the Number 74 Village, Corentyne Public Road two Sundays ago.
According to Dennis Stephen, Officer-In-charge of Traffic in Berbice, a man was placed under arrest sometime last week. However, the person has since been released from custody, as investigators were able to verify that he was not the driver of the speeding car.
Stephen told Stabroek News, that a partial number plate was retrieved at the scene of the accident. “The number is 570 but there is another number at the back missing, so we are trying to put together the last number and the top part of the number plate is damaged but we are assuming it has to be an H, but we are not certain if it is HB or HC”.
