The Coroner’s Inquest into the road traffic incident which occurred at Rock Gutter in January this year, ended yesterday at the Georgetown Magistrates Court, with the Jury finding three persons culpable of Gross Negligence.

The three are: Ehud Myers, a Pastor and Conductor of the Bus on the day of the accident, Ravanan Nanton the Driver and Calbert Bowens, one of the persons involved in the decision-making regarding the maintenance of the bus.

The matter will now go before the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).

Hearing in the Inquest was held from October 5th to 8th and also on October 13th and 14th, during which some 30 witnesses presented evidence during the hearing, before Presiding Magistrate Rickie Burnett.

Seven students died during the incident, on January 12th, when the van in which they were travelling went over an embankment and into the sea.

The Inquest was held to determine if anyone should be held accountable for the deaths of the students.
