A father and son—both gardeners—were burnt to death in a car crash on the Churchill-Roosevelt Highway in St Augustine yesterday morning. Jameel Ali, 49, and his son Quadir Ali, 24, were returning to their home on Jackson Street, Petit Bourg, San Juan, around 3.45 am when the accident happened. They had just sold produce at the Macoya Wholesale Market.
Police said the pick-up van in which the victims were travelling collided with an Audi in which Khalil Karamath, the 21-year-old son of business contractor Hafeez Karamath, was a passenger. Also in the car were Rodney Singh, 35, of Arena Road, Freeport, and Ramsaroop Seelal, 24, of Brickfield Village, Carapichaima. Khalil and his friends escaped unhurt.
Quadir’s sister, Sara Ali, during an interview hours after the accident, said when she woke up yesterday morning she found that something was wrong because her father and brother had not returned home. She said it was only after the family made a search they found out about the fatal crash.
“When I got up they were not at home and that was rather strange, because normally, after they sell their goods at the Macoya Market, they would leave around 3 am and come home,” Sara said. “They always worked together as gardeners, which has been a tradition in our family for years.” She said her father would normally drop her off in San Juan so she could get a maxi taxi to head to Port-of-Spain for work.
“I went knocking on his door because I was almost ready to go to work but I got no response...We called their phones, searched the garden and then I went to the market to look for them,” she said. “Normally Quadir would leave around 10 pm with the van to beat the long lines at the market and daddy would go with the car and meet him around 12 midnight.” She said both her father and brother woke up later than usual and decided to only use the pick-up.
Sara said it was a vendor who told her he had heard two gardeners got killed in an accident on the highway. “While on my way to the market, I saw fire officers washing down the road and I heard on the radio that two people got killed in an accident, but I never believed it was my brother and father,” she said.
Sara said Quadir was her only sibling and he would be missed dearly. Tuesday night was the last time the family spent together, watching a movie at home, she said. The father and son are expected to be laid to rest later today at the Muslim cemetery on Boundary Road, San Juan, after a service at their home.
KHALIL Karamath and his wife, Sabeera Mohammed, re-appeared in court yesterday, making their first appearance in the Tunapuna Magistrates' Court on guns, ammunition and marijuana possession charges.
Yesterday, Karamath, 22, and Mohammed, 23, who are currently on $1.5 million bail each, were told their next court date would be December 15. This occurred after one of their attorneys, Ravi Rajcoomar, asked for disclosure and that the Karamaths appear along with their other co-accused.
Tunapuna First Court Senior Magistrate Nanette Forde-John made note of the disclosure request, which was dated August 26, and adjourned the matter to December 15, when the couple, along with Karamath's older sister, Fareena, and three male relatives, whose ages range from 15 to 17, will appear in court.
The duo, from Palm Road, Valsayn, are charged with possession of 18 firearms—inclusive of four rifles, a Colt .45 pistol, a Ducktown pistol, a Taurus 9mm pistol, a Smith and Wesson .40 pistol and one Ruger pistol; possession of 980 rounds of assorted ammunition; 951 grammes of marijuana and possession of seven "illicit devices" used to smoke marijuana.
The other four accused, who are on $85,000 bail, are charged with possession of marijuana and possession of the devices. All six first appeared in court on August 23.
Outside the court house, Karamath shielded his wife from media personnel who were awaiting their exit.
Police allegedly found the illegal items while executing a search warrant at Karamath's home on August 19, as they were continuing their probe into the Urban Development Company of Trinidad and Tobago (UDeCOTT).
The construction company of Karamath's deceased father, Hafeez Karamath Ltd (HKL), had been one of the companies discussed at the Commission of Enquiry into UDeCOTT and the construction sector.
HKL is responsible for the construction of the still unfinished Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba.
