A man has been remanded by the Brikama Magistrates' Court for allegedly knocking a man with a vehicle, which led to his death.

Kissima Touray arraigned before Magistrate Pa Harry

Jammeh, was charged with rash and negligent driving causing death.

He is alleged to have caused the death of one Anthony Mendy as a result of his knocking him with his vehicle at New Yundum  on the 12th March 2009.

When the charge was read to him he told the court that it was an accident, but was not negligence. "I was paying attention," he maintained.

At that juncture the court decided to enter a plea of not guilty for him and remanded him in custody.

The case continues on the 30th March 2009.
