DPP to advise on case of teen who allegedly jumped in path of car

Police have intensified their investigations into the incident where 18-year-old Kareema Mary Cholmondeley allegedly jumped off her lover’s pedal cycle and into the path of a moving car at Turkeyen Railway Embankment, Greater Georgetown.
Commander of C Division (East Coast Demerara), Calvin Brutus told Guyana Times that the file is expected to be sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for direction on the way forward, while adding the driver of the motorcar and the teen’s 42-year-old lover were both released on station bail.
The teenager of Lot 10 BB GEC Scheme, Hugh Ghanie Park, Cummings Lodge, East Coast Demerara, was killed on Wednesday last.
It was reported that the teen and her lover were engaged in a heated argument and it was at this time she made the deadly jump, landing in the path of a motorcar bearing registration number PJJ 5884 which was proceeding along the roadway.
The driver of that vehicle reportedly told the traffic ranks that as he drove along the roadway, he saw a male pushing a bicycle and as he was about to pass him, he realised someone was lying in his path. However, due to the short distance between the car and the person on the roadway, he could not avoid hitting the person on the ground.
The injured woman, who was rendered unconscious, was picked up and rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital where she was pronounced dead on arrival.
Police said the driver of the car had passed a breathalyser test.
Last June, 19-year-old Sasia Adams of Pomeroon, Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam) who resided at East Street, Georgetown, died after also reportedly jumping from her boyfriend’s moving car.
Reports are Adams’s 21-year-old boyfriend, Rick Sewcharran, of Diamond, East Bank Demerara (EBD) rushed her to the Dr Balwant Singh Hospital. He reportedly told nurses that she jumped from his moving car while they were proceeding along Lamaha Street.
In March of this year, the manslaughter charge against Sewcharran was discharged by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan on the grounds of lack of evidence.
