Almost five months have gone since the death of Salima Heeralal and there is still no word about any charges against the driver, Marshall Allicock, whose vehicle collided with another along the La Bonne Intention (LBI) Railway Embankment, East Coast Demerara, on September 29, 2024.
When asked about the recommendation of charges against Allicock, Stabroek News was repeatedly told by Regional Commander, Senior Superintendent Ewart Wray, that the file containing the facts of the investigation has not been returned by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
However, according to a source, Allicock and relatives of Salima have decided to settle the matter privately.
