Ramanand Jagdeo, 44, of Diamond Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara (EBD), was on Tuesday granted $500,000 reduced bail when he appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts charged with the offence of causing death by dangerous driving.
Jagdeo was previously placed on $1 million bail after he denied that on February 22, 2018, at Peters Hall Public Road, EBD, he drove motor car PRR 4395 in a dangerous manner, thus causing the death of Alexander Akia.
However, on Tuesday, his attorney made a successfully application for bail to be reduced before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan.
It was previously reported that Jagdeo was speeding along the Peters Hall Public Road when he collided with the pedal cyclist.
As a result of the impact, Akia’s leg was severed from his body. He was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he succumbed while receiving medical attention. The matter will continue on July 3.
