Twenty-six-year-old Nicklous Singh, who has been evading Police for the past eight years, was on Monday slapped with a causing death by dangerous driving charge.
Dead: Nandanie Das
He appeared at the Charity Magistrate’s Court before Magistrate Esther Sam and was not required to plead to the charge which stated that on August 12, 2014, he drove his motor car in a manner dangerous to the public thereby causing the death of Chandanie Das.
She was reportedly the Branch Manager for Courts’ Richmond office. Singh, of Abram Zuil, Essequibo Coast, Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam), was arrested on Friday during a Police operation in the region.
He was reportedly charged with the offence of causing death by dangerous driving after an accident which occurred along the Annandale Public Road on the Essequibo Coast on August 12, 2014.
Based on reports received, he had collided his vehicle with another motor car being driven by Chandanie Das, a former Manager of Courts Guyana Inc and late resident of La Union, Essequibo Coast.
Charged: Nicklous Singh
Following that accident, a file was prepared and sent to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, and it was advised that an inquest be held into the matter. The inquest saw 10 witnesses testifying, and it was subsequently found that Singh was criminally responsible for the death of Das.
Singh was charged and expected to be arraigned at the Suddie Magistrate’s Court on November 19, 2015, but he never showed up. As such, a warrant was issued for his arrest.
He had managed to evade the Police until now.
