A grieving husband is currently at a loss for words after his wife was struck and killed by a minibus on the East Bank of Essequibo.
The police say that Anita Narine, 47, was struck by a minibus on Tuesday in Le Destin, a village located on the East Bank of Essequibo.
The woman’s husband, Deodat Narine, told Stabroek News that they were married for over 26 years and he is unable to come to grips with the loss of the mother of his two children.
Anita Narine, of Providence was employed with attorney Kamal Ramkarran as a secretary and he took to social media to share his condolences to her family and friends.
“An hour and a half or so ago I received word that my Secretary for more than 14 years, Anita Narine, was killed in a road accident. She was patient and unflappable and always knew how to respond when necessary, sometimes with just ‘Kamal’ to stop me in my tracks. She had my job organised in such a way that when she was not there, like yesterday, I just put things off until she came back”, he said.
Anita leaves to mourn her husband and two children, Miranda and Josh.
Police investigations revealed that the minibus #BAD 6362 was proceeding west along the road at a fast rate when the left front of the vehicle collided with Narine who was crossing the road.
As a result of the collision, the Narine fell onto the roadway. She was picked up in a conscious state by the driver, placed in the minibus and rushed to the Sheriff Hospital at Leonora where she died while receiving treatment.
The 41-year-old-driver is currently in police custody assisting with investigations.
