Lawrence Holder, a 48-year-old unemployed man from Paradise, East Coast Demerara, was granted bail in the sum of $200,000 on Friday for his involvement in a fatal accident that claimed the life of motorcyclist Conal Husbands on March 25. The incident occurred at the corners of Cummings and Church Streets in Georgetown.
Appearing before Chief Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court, Holder, represented by attorney Adrian Thompson, was not required to enter a plea to the charge. Thompson pleaded with the court for his client’s release on bail, citing Holder’s health condition as a dialysis patient.
Considering the circumstances, the Chief Magistrate granted Holder bail in the sum of $200,000 and adjourned the matter until May 7, 2024, for further reports.
The fatal accident occurred when Husbands, 46, of Carmichael Street, Georgetown, collided with Holder’s car at the intersection of Cummings and Church Streets. Husbands, who worked at Atlas Security Services Inc., was riding motorcycle #CM 2986, while Holder was driving motorcar PAF 3166.
According to police investigations, Holder’s car was traveling north along the western lane of Cummings Street, while Husbands’ motorcycle was heading east on Church Street. As they approached the intersection, Holder allegedly failed to stop at the ‘stop sign,’ resulting in a collision with the motorcycle.
