(L-R) Priyanjana Das; Karim Edwards; Kenneth Mathew
A man whose vehicle allegedly struck two medical students on Friars Hill Road — killing one and leaving the other without an arm — appeared before Justice Rajiv Persaud in the High Court this morning and entered a not guilty plea.
Karim Edwards is charged with causing death by reckless driving in connection with the October 23, 2022 collision that claimed the life of Kenneth Mathew and left Priyanjana Das with injuries that changed her life forever.
Mathew, who sustained severe brain trauma in the crash, died just over a week later.
Das survived but lost her right arm, suffered fractures to her left arm, and sustained pelvic injuries.
The matter is scheduled for case management on March 20, after which a trial date will be fixed.
let’s see how this one plays out in the kangaroo court system of Antigua and Barbuda. His wife/ girl friend is a judge in Antigua.
they’re not together anymore.
interested
the Mason carpenter and plumber is @ work and will be working overtime on this one. if u kno yu kno
How can you drive a car into someone intentionally or not and say you’re not guilty??… maybe it was the judge that was driving?? .. the person did flee the scene of the accident and then return so for all we know it was her and he came back in the vehicle so saying he’s not guilty ..
Those two persons came to Antigua to study to be Doctors. The young man died and the young girl lost her arm and had massive injuries , lost her friend !!!! If it were your children you would want justice .
your first paragraph is on point.
The charge was upgraded from causing death by dangerous driving to causing death by reckless driving. That says a lot
if this results in him walking away, we really need to behave ourselves. Especially when dealing with members of the ‘ring ting gang’ BUT one person that never misses anything is the ONE ABOVE!!
that drunkard have some nerve..smh. brazen man. the person child done dead
a grown man like that cannot just own up ans say he sorry? his drunk self hit the people…
Anything goes in that country so the man can say what he wants
So true! It’s not about what’s fair and just. It’s about who you are; who you’re married to; who you know; what kind of connections you have.
Poor, no name, no connection to powerful people in Antigua sarl sarl!
Mr deranged or what?
Seem like he’s saying that the students walked into the path of the vehicle, so he’s not guilty of causing the accident. If I recall correctly this is the accident where the students where coming out of the club, they were most likely intoxicated and made a poor choice crossing the road. Unless he was driving without headlights on, this kind of accidents shouldn’t happen
