A man was on Saturday found dead along the Number 76 Village, Corentyne Public Road in what appears to be a hit-and-run, since broken glass from a vehicle’s headlight was found on the roadway.
Dead is Premchand Harripaul, 27, of Lot 62 Section ‘A’, Number 69 Village, Corentyne. Harripaul’s body is presently at the Skeldon Hospital mortuary awaiting an autopsy.
Yadesh Rooplall, 33, has since been arrested in connection with the fatal incident. His vehicle, which has a damaged front windscreen and headlight, was also seized.
