Witnesses sought for fatal crash on West Bay Road
(CNS): Traffic police are making another appeal for witnesses to the early morning collision last week in which Anwar Ali Bakari Abdurrahman (41), a Kenyan national residing in the Cayman Islands, was killed. The crash happened at around 4am on Thursday, 26 May, on the West Bay Road by the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. A 24-year-old man from West Bay who was arrested at the time on suspicion of DUI has not been charged and has been bailed as the investigation continues.
Meanwhile, Abdurrahman’s friends have created a fundraising page to help cover the funeral and other expenses.
Anyone who may have witnessed the collision or who may have any information is asked to call the Traffic & Roads Policing Unit at 649-6254 or the GTPS at 949-4222.
Anonymous tips can be provided directly to the RCIPS via the Confidential Tip Line at 949-7777

My sincerest condolences to the family, friends and loved ones of the Mr. Abdurrahman. May his soul Rest In Peace.
Whilst I cannot be certain about, whether or not, the CCTV footage at the Ritz-Carlton caught the incident that occurred (or, if so, from what angles and viewpoints), I have viewed such CCTV footage from the Ritz-Carlton in the past (a couple years back) and it was very high quality (far better quality than CIG’s CCTV footage on traffic lights).
Why does Cayman lag developed jurisdictions by decades in traffic speeding abatement, enforcement and surveillance techniques & technology? This is another needless death on our roads which may have been prevented if vehicles doing over 25 mph in this zone were forced to slow down and a threat of being captured on 4K surveillance cameras.
What kind of world class place allows so much anarchy on it’s roads?
Such a happy looking man, and such a needless tragic death 🙁
Look guys….police are asking for information, yes they will have coverage from CCTV but they need more details where it is not on CCTV coverage.
… or the public CCTV system, especially after fatalities on SMB and the lowered speed limit? What, no cameras in the main tourist areas? Why?
What happened to the million dollar government camera system?
Ask Eric.
Waiting for parts, just like our radar.
Doesn’t the hotel owner have CCTV everywhere on that campus? If not, why not?
