PM to be performed on Huston accident victims today
Post-mortems are on Monday expected to be performed on the bodies of a male and female who perished in a deadly motorcycle accident at Houston, Greater Georgetown on Saturday evening.
Dead: Mawava Chase
Police Public Relations Officer Jairam Ramlakhan has said it is likely there will not be a protracted investigation of this double fatality, given the particulars of the accident.
However, he noted that post-mortems would be carried out on Monday to determine the official cause of death of the two persons.
The accident occurred on Saturday at about 21:15hrs, when Berket King, 25, travelling south along the East Bank Highway with pillion rider Mawava Chase, lost control of his CBR motor cycle while negotiating a turn at Houston, and collided with a lamp post.
Dead: Berket King
The impact left King literally wrapped around the lamp post, while Chase’s body was sent flying.
Eyewitnesses related that the duo had sped off from a traffic light at Mandela Avenue and the East Bank Highway just before they met their demise at Houston.
King reportedly died on the spot, while Chase, an Immigration Officer, succumbed while receiving medical attention at the Georgetown Public Hospital.
