One Babucarr Jammeh, a mechanic working with the National Water and Electricity Company Limited (NAWEC), was on Friday arraigned at the Brikama Magistrates' Court before acting Principal Magistrate A Kemo Ceesay charged with a rash and negligent act causing death.
The accused pleaded not guilty to the charge, and was subsequently granted bail in the sum of D20,000 with a Gambian surety.
