BASSETERRE, St. Kitts (Tuesday 30th August 2022) — A young man in his 20s, known to have generally been seen “with a smile on his face” as described by his employer Yachtman’s Express, was killed in a traffic accident along the island main road in Half Way Tree. Dead is 23-year-old Shakeel Marsham of Godwin Ghaut. Police are investigating the fatal traffic accident that occurred on Friday 26 August 2022. Resident Pathologist Dr. Adrian Nunez performed an autopsy and concluded that death was due to hypovolemic shock and multiple traumatic injuries as a result of a motor vehicular accident.
The accident involved motorcycle PA9083, owned and driven by Shakeel Marsham; motor bus PA3155, owned by Tesroy Greene of Halfway Tree and parked along the island main road; and motor truck PA793, owned by Alphonso Isaac of Middle Island and driven by Joseph Clarke of Lime Kiln Project. Police investigations revealed that approximately 5:35 PM, the motorcycle was travelling towards Sandy Point direction and the truck was travelling towards Old Road direction. As both vehicles entered the vicinity of Mr. Greene’s Workshop in Halfway Tree, the driver of the motorcycle collided with the front of the parked bus and fell between the motorcycle and the truck. The District Medical Doctor arrived and pronounced Marsham dead at the scene. His employer Yachtsman’s Express expressed sadness: “We are deeply saddened to share that Yachtsman Express has lost a beloved member of the team. Shakeel was a member of the Yachtsman Express kitchen team since the establishment opened in February of this year. Generally found with a big smile on his face, Shakeel was full of life with a positive attitude and great team spirit. Our deepest condolences go out to his family and friends.”
