Corentyne accident: “I want justice for him” – wife appeals for answers after husband left critically injured

Hemawattie Narain is appealing for justice for her 71-year-old husband, who she says remains unresponsive following a collision at Hampshire, Corentyne, Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne), while her efforts to obtain information about the Police investigation have brought few answers.

Deonauth Sookram, also called Premnauth, was riding an electric bike on November 5 when he was hit by a car along the Corentyne Highway and has not regained consciousness since, according to his wife.

Narain said Sookram, a Government pathway worker attached to the Kilcoy-Hampshire Neighbourhood Democratic Council (NDC), left home about 06:00h to visit a nearby shop. About 20 minutes later, a neighbour informed her that he had been involved in an accident.
