Karim Edwards appeared before Justice Rajiv Persaud in the High Court on Friday morning and entered a not guilty plea to a charge of causing death by dangerous driving.

The charge stems from a fatal collision on October 23, 2022, along Friars Hill Road. Prosecutors allege that Edwards’ vehicle struck medical students Kenneth Mathew and Priyanjana Das as they were crossing the roadway.

Mathew sustained severe brain injuries and died just over a week after the crash. Das survived but suffered life-altering injuries, including the loss of her right arm, fractures to her left arm, and pelvic injuries.

The case is now set to proceed to trial.
