A driver accused of causing the death of a carpenter was on Tuesday released on 0,000 bail when he appeared before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan.
Ryan Seecharran was charged for causing the death of Kalicharran Goordial, a carpenter of Creekdam, Herstelling, East Bank Demerara (EBD). The 48-year-old

man died on June 24, 2017 at Third Street, Herstelling when Seecharran allegedly drove motor vehicle PVV 4911 in a manner dangerous to the public.
Seecharran, 24, of Lot 361 Herstelling, was also charged for failing to stop his vehicle to lend assistance to the injured man. It is further alleged that on the same day, being the driver of PVV 4911 and having been involved in an accident, he failed to render assistance by taking the injured to a registered medical practitioner.
Defence Attorney Glen Hanoman made a successful bail application on his client’s behalf informing the court that his client was previously granted station bail in the sum of $100,000 and has since been reporting to the Providence Police Station.
Prosecutor Arvin Moore had no objection to bail. As such, the defendant was released on $300,000 bail.
Seecharran is expected to make his next court appearance on September 13.
