Bank Demerara (EBD). According to reports, Hinds was traveling at a fast
rate when he noticed traffic policemen on the roadway in the vicinity
of Rahaman’s Park. He was heading home when he lost control of his
vehicle PPP 7130, reportedly while trying to slow down so that the
traffic police would not see him speeding. He subsequently lost control
of his vehicle which crashed into a nearby drain.According to eyewitnesses, the car spun three times before hitting the edge of the nearby drain and toppled.
At the accident scene, Leon Hinds, the deceased’s older brother was inconsolable and in a state of disbelief.
Relatives described Hinds as an easy going individual. When Kaieteur News visited the deceased mother’s home family members were in a state of shock.
The dead man’s mother opined that her son’s death was of an occult nature. She was heard saying, “They killed my son with obeah!” “And she (name of woman) at home laughing and saying let that be a lesson for the family”.
