Former Regional Executive Officer (REO) Dr. Veerasammy Ramayya is remanded to prison after being charged with causing death by dangerous driving in connection with an accident in August 2026 that killed 42-year-old Ishwarnauth Bisram.
The reports say Ramayya, 79, of Whim Village, Corentyne, appears before Magistrate Michelle Matthias at the Albion Magistrate’s court. Kaieteur News and the other outlets describe the case as stemming from the Aug. 10, 2026 accident, which is linked to Nigg, Corentyne, Berbice.
While the outlets largely agree on the charge, the fatality, the accused’s role and age, and the remand before the same magistrate, they differ slightly in emphasis. Some front-load the court outcome (“no bail” versus “remanded”), while others highlight Ramayya’s former political or professional background more explicitly.
