Corentyne fatal accident case discontinued as mother seeks “peace” for son

The fatal accident charge against 61-year-old Naitram Anghad of Lot 23 Number 64 Village, Corentyne, Region Six, was officially discontinued on Wednesday after the family of deceased motorcyclist Jagdeo Bhimsingh opted not to continue legal proceedings.
Anghad had been charged with causing the death of 21-year-old Jagdeo Bhimsingh by dangerous driving following a collision along the Number 64 Public Road earlier this year.
The matter was discontinued following recommendations from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) after Bhimsingh’s mother, 52-year-old Nadira Nathoo, indicated that she no longer wished to pursue the case.
Speaking with reporters following the court proceedings, Nathoo said no financial settlement was reached and explained that her decision was influenced by her desire to allow her son to “rest in peace”.
“My son is priceless. My son carries no value. No money, no wealth can give me back my son’s life. So, I just settled the story for nothing and let my son go and rest,” Nathoo said.
She also suggested that another individual, whom she accused of encouraging her son to ship the motorcycle to Guyana, bore responsibility for the circumstances that led to the tragedy.
If it wasn’t for that motorcycle to ship and come to Guyana, my son wouldn’t die like this. I am the loser,” she stated.
Meanwhile, Anghad expressed relief at the outcome of the matter and thanked the family for not pursuing compensation. “Today I am very happy that this case finished. I am very thankful that the mother and father of the kid didn’t take any money from me,” Anghad said.
During his initial appearance before Magistrate Tuanna Hardy at the Number 51 Magistrate’s Court, Anghad was remanded to custody. However, at a subsequent hearing on February 25, 2026, he was granted $600,000 bail.
It was reported that the fatal collision occurred at about 13:00h on February 17, 2026, along the Number 64 Public Road, Corentyne. Police reported that Bhimsingh, an overseas-based Guyanese of Number 63 Village, was riding a motorcycle with trade plates along the roadway when a motor car, PKK 5792, driven by Anghad, allegedly turned east into his path.
As a result of the collision, Bhimsingh was reportedly flung from the motorcycle onto the grass parapet, where he sustained severe injuries. Public-spirited citizens transported him to the Number 75 Regional Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Police also reported that a breathalyser test conducted on Anghad produced readings of seven and eight micrograms, respectively.
