Matthew Ambedkar, who is accused of causing the deaths of three persons in an accident at De Willem, on the West Coast of Demerara (WCD), was on Thursday asked to post a total of $1.5 million bail for his release pending trial.
Ambedkar, 19, of Tuschen Housing Scheme, appeared before Magistrate Zamilla Ally-Seepaul at the Leonora Magistrate’s Court, where he pleaded not guilty to the charges after a decision was made to proceed with a summary trial.
The teen, who was remanded to prison just over two weeks ago, after being charged with three counts of causing death by dangerous driving, was granted bail in the amount of $500,000 on each charge. He was also required to lodge his passport.
