The man who reportedly used his motor vehicle to mow down a policeman on March 18 was remanded when he appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court on Thursday.

Dwayne McKenzie of a Corporate Area address is charged with manslaughter arising from the incident.

Court files indicate that on March 18, the deceased and his colleagues were conducting a routine spot check on Mannings Hill Road when they signalled the accused to stop.

Allegations are that the accused stopped his vehicle and the officers approached him requesting his documents. Their check reportedly revealed that McKenzie did not possess a driver's licence.

It is further alleged that the deceased was standing in front of the motor car when this information was uncovered. It is reported that the accused gunned his vehicle, hitting the officer with such force that he fell on top of the vehicle and rolled off. The policeman was taken to the hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.

After hearing the allegations, McKenzie was remanded and his fingerprints taken. He is booked to reappear in court on April 27.
