Former Chief of Staff of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) Rear Admiral (ret’d) Gary Best has been charged in relation to the February 8th crash that claimed the life of cyclist Jude Bentley but has not yet been arraigned since he is currently “crisscrossing” the country ahead of the Monday’s General and Regional Elections.
This disclosure was made yesterday by attorney James Bond, who told Stabroek News that Best has been charged and is scheduled to appear at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday morning.
Bond explained that Best is not campaigning but rather he has responsibilities which he has to fulfill since he plays an “integral” role in numerous operations with the A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and Alliance for Change (AFC) coalition.
