Karim Edwards will face trial in the High Court for the car crash that reportedly killed 21-year-old medical student Kenneth Mathew two years ago today.

This morning, Acting Chief Magistrate Dexter Wason committed the case to the January assizes, where Edwards will be tried for dangerous driving resulting in Mathew’s death and severe injuries to 19-year-old Priyanjana Das.

Edwards, who remains on bail, had previously attempted to have the case dismissed through a ‘no case’ submission filed by his attorney, Wendel Alexander, but Magistrate Wason ruled that a prima facie case had been made.

The prosecution, led by Paulio Williams, argued that Edwards’ driving was reckless, citing poor visibility and excessive speed as contributing factors. Mathew died from brain trauma a week after the incident, while Das survived but sustained life-altering injuries.

  1. He’s gonna have to live with that for the rest of his life!
    That is indeed a tough burden to bear!
    Find a church my brother.

  2. This guy is a well known drunk and now the lawyer saying its reckless driving…..
    was a breathalyzer test done? Heard he drove off from the scene too to get lawyer to come back sometime later, for all we know if he had acted differently things may not have been that worse, just saying and what he did is against the law and morally wrong and inhumane.

    But this man is a drunken arse and unruly, that is his character, I know him, well known bully who thinks he is above the law.
    Hope dem deal him arse just how him deal with those 2 students and other people.
    Do for do nuh obeah…..Feel how it feel now, do the crime, do your time.
    Cell block 10B waiting on you, Bib Bob and the boyz waiting with the baby oil.

  3. This court case is long overdue; and the downright audacity of Edwards to try to get his dangerous driving dismissed under the dubious term of a “no case” submission.

    Doesn’t this just goes to show the callous nature of the man (and remember, this uncaring and cold-hearted individual left them both to die by leaving the scene after mowing them down), and adding insult to the bereaved relatives and severely injured young lady.

    I would also look into why this case took so long to come to court. Hopefully, it’s not another scenario of who you know in the upper echelons in Antigua …

  4. want dem bull you a jail wicked ass. you ex wife is such a nice woman, I love her, going to shoot my shot!! 🤭

  5. Your comments reflect mine and those of many others…thank you!
    Shame on his attorney!…yeh, f*ck you Wendel Alexander! Your client needs to be under the jail! He is not a nice man…most unpleasant and arrogant wretch! Left the scene and sped home to…who ???…!!!…yeh, we know the WHOLE STORY! By the way, who paying your legal fees…the lodge?
    God does not sleep!
    We pray that come January, two families will see justice properly served…even though it will not make Priya whole again, or bring back Matthew.

  6. I’m willing to bet he’s going to get off. He should have been arrested & charged for leaving the scene! Sometimes, it’s about who you know and what circles you’re in… in 🇦🇬. I remember the rasta father that was arrested and denied bail for his actions; but this guy didn’t even spend one night in lockup. There is definitely a two tier law-enforcement/justice system in 🇦🇬.

  7. Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Pringle stand up in front of 40 people at Seaview Farm Playing Field and say that the party is strong lol 😆 😂 💪

  8. Service Johnson you go shoot your shot bruh, I wish you well and the brotherhood is proud of your bold step.
    Make sure you oil her up, no baby oil though, reports say it causes overheating lmao !
    So, no backend service bruh, just service the front end and tune up her engine nice, maybe give her a 10lbs NOS or so, you know da ting

    Be sure to let us know how the test run goes, careful you blow her head gasket lol
    Pressure blows the block ! hahahaha

  9. How is it that this matter came up so quickly?… yes quickly I mean, even at 2 years.
    Because up to now, the powers that be (likely the same departments), can’t seem to figure out how to bring charges against that Ryan boy who mowed down that Cedar Grove woman more than 10 years ago.
    But it seems like people memories only long for politics, especially the ones they oppose.

  11. BRIXTONIAN: …MOMENT OF ENLIGHTENMENT

    PUSSYFOOTING WITH COMMITTAL PROCEEDINGS

    Undoubtedly, some ‘…MAGISTRATES’ seemingly unfamiliar with the procedures, were often seen to be ‘…PUSSYFOOTING’ with some ‘…COMMITTAL PROCEEDINGS.’

    TELLING COMMENTS

    This ‘…Çommenter,’ has often made some ‘…TELLING COMMENTS.’

    NO CASE SUBMISSION

    In guiding his understanding, and perhaps others, ‘in ‘…COMMITTAL PROCEEDINGS,’ there is no such thing as ‘…NO CASE SUBMISSION.’

    WHY

    Magistrates ‘…DO NOT TRY INDICTABLE CASES.’

    Therefore, ‘…NONE’ shall entertain: ‘…NO CASE SUBMISSION.’
    But some ‘…Magistrates Make Mistakes.’

    The ‘…INFAMOUS BUS CASE’ makes the point.’

    MAGISTERIAL BLUNDER

    The ‘…Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court (ECSC)’ had corrected the apparent ‘…MAGISTERIAL BLUNDER’ reportedly made by a ‘…MAGISTRATE.’

    A ‘MAGISTRATE’S’ duty is to ‘…COMMIT TO JURY TRIAL’ at the ‘…CRIMINAL ASSIZES.’

    This is conditional of his/her ‘…SATISFACTION’ with the ‘…EVIDENCE FILED’ by the ‘…DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC PROSECUTIONS (DPP).’

    This may be verified with ‘…former Attorney General, KING’S COUNSEL, JUSTIN SIMON.’

    The accused enjoys the constitutional ‘…Right of Innocence’ [CO: 1981: Section 15].

  12. I was on the scene of that accident! Those folks we’re stoned drunk 🥴🍺 no lie. They should take that into consideration ‼️
