Georgetown: Grasstrack racer Dwarka Gangadeen is currently before the Vigilance court as the prosecution and witnesses give evidence in a case that may prove the accused innocent. On May 2 2010, just over a year, Dwarka was accused of killing his wife Bridgette Gangadeen after her disfigured body was found a stone throw away from the Vigilance Police station. She was crushed under the rear wheel of her husband's truck. The question is whether she jumped and commited suicide or she was thrown out by her husband. Based on the circumstances surrounding her death, it is believed that Gangadeen may have been telling the truth that his wife jumped to her death from the moving truck and after he felt the truck wheel ran her over he panicked and fled the scene. He was arrested hours after and held until an autopsy by Government pathologist Dr.Nehaul Singh was done which proves that the woman died of a crushed skull. However, the victim's relatives did not accept the findings and hired a Trinidadian pathologist Hubert Daisley, who was flown in at their expense. Daisley performed another autopsy and came up with controversial findings that the woman died of strangulation. This led to his incarceration for murder. After one year the case has been called up as new evidence surfaced suggesting that the woman died after she jumped from the moving truck. Ranks from the Vigilance police station are expected to give evidence that they found her gasping for air before she died, ruling out the findings of the overseas pathologist. Defense lawyers question how a man driving in a cabin measuring 8 feet can open the door to his right and push someone out, particularly if it is a dead person. The matter comes up this Friday when a number of witnesses will be cross-examined.
