Police Constable remains under close arrest for death of girlfriend

Essequibo Coast fatal accident

A 23-year-old Police Constable stationed at the Suddie Police Station on the Essequibo Coast, Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam), remains under close arrest following the death of his girlfriend on Saturday.
This was confirmed on Saturday by Regional Commander Crystal Robinson, who stated that investigations into the fatal accident continue.
It was reported that at about 13:20h on Saturday, the Constable, who is attached to the Traffic Department, was driving motor car PMM 5509 when an argument reportedly erupted between him and his now dead 26-year-old girlfriend, Simona Williams of Good Hope, Essequibo Coast.
It is alleged that the Police Constable went to the home of his girlfriend at about 11:30h on the day in question and collected her to go to Anna Regina.
It was reported that the couple spent some time in Anna Regina conducting business, and as they were returning home, the argument developed.
Guyana Times understands that the Constable claimed that his girlfriend began accusing him of being unfaithful. They reportedly argued until they reached Hibernia Public Road.
He told investigators that during the misunderstanding, the woman held on to the steering wheel and pulled it to the left, and he, in turn, pulled it back to the right.
At that time, he reportedly lost control of the vehicle, thus causing a collision with another motor car bearing registration number PPP 4196 which was stationed at the time.
Following the collision, Williams was taken out of the vehicle by public-spirited citizens and escorted to the Suddie Public Hospital where she was pronounced dead.
