The Guyana Police Force (GPF) is currently searching for a 38-year-old man of Cane Grove, East Coast Demerara (ECD), who fatally struck his mother with a car at their home.
This mother has been identified as Ena Seecharran of Lot 8 Saywah, Cane Grove, ECD.
Reports are that this incident, which occurred at approximately 16:40h on Tuesday, involved motorcar HD 1726, driven by the son of this 63-year-old woman.
According to the suspect’s father, husband of the deceased, the car was parked on the bridge in front of his yard facing south. He said Seecharran, who had been a housewife, was standing in the yard behind the locked gate at the time when the son started the vehicle and drove forward, crashing through the gate and colliding with Seecharran, who was standing directly in front of the vehicle behind the gate.
He detailed that the woman fell to the ground, and the left side wheels of the car ran over her while the vehicle came to a standstill on a concrete wall in the yard. This resulted in the woman sustaining injuries to her body.
Police have said that the woman was then picked up by her husband and placed into a motor car which transported her to the Mahaicony Public Hospital, where she was pronounced dead on arrival.
“It remains unclear whether the act was deliberate on the part of the driver,” Police said on Wednesday. Investigations are ongoing.
