A teacher and six students of a school at Mahaicony on Friday were believed dead after the vehicle they were travelling in plunged into a canal at Burma main road, police said.


Investigators were told that about 3:30 PM, the bodies of a school teacher and six students of the Husburg Primary School, Mahaicony, were found in a motor vehicle that had turned turtle in the canal along the Burma Road, Mahaicony, East Coast Demerara.


It is suspected that the teacher, Shondell Duke,

had lost control of the vehicle

as they were returning home from a school Mash event.

 

The children who lost their lives in the incident are

Martina Persaud, 7 years;

Asia Abel, 10 years;

Azikia Fraser, 6 years;

Adeshe Woolford, 9 years;

Justin Abel, 8 years; and

Rayden Abel, 7 years,

all of Mahaicony.


They were pronounced  dead on arrival at the Mahaicony Cottage Hospital.

I believe that somewhere close to Mahaicony is that Drill turn where many vehicles find themselves turned over in that trench. Ours once did some time back in the mid eighties. We had to escape from through the windows, The vehicle took many months to be back an running. This is indeed a very sad outcome. May their souls rest in peace.
