Transcript
00:00Are you calling for justice in this matter, in the passing of your wife?
00:05Wherever it goes, it goes. I have no desire to, you know, look for anything. Wherever
00:15I think it was an injustice or dumb, it cost my wife's life. And wherever it goes from here,
00:23I'm okay. The words of Thomas Oh, still grieving following the death of his wife, Madri Harry Oh.
00:31Mr. Oh, who was the driver at the time of the accident last Saturday,
00:36said his life has gone without his wife. What would you say, would you miss dearly about him?
00:44The word miss is an understatement that got my life. She was...
00:58That is my whole life that has gone there, you know, thinking of an eye.
01:22She is irreplaceable.
01:24Mr. Oh said no one could take his wife's place.
01:28In the 55 years that we are together, she has been everything to me.
01:38I could confide in her.
01:42I could find solace in her.
01:46Other motherfuckers usually describe her as my angel.
01:54He is calling on the driver in the matter to tell the truth.
02:10What are you calling on the driver to do?
02:13Just be honest. Just be honest.
02:18As a matter of fact, I'm going to say it here now because I didn't say it before.
02:25There is a story going on there that the two people who came to be drivers of the car,
02:34driver of the car, were not.
02:39That car belongs to Port George Road in St. James.
02:43And if you look at the video, the Redskin guy who was there trying to help you to assist us,
02:56he was the driver.
02:57Owe wants to debunk any notion he was speeding and says today he is thankful for the support of
03:04the family members, the family members, relatives, and the church members who have been by his side.
03:09I have my family around me.
03:11Yes, I was just about to tell you, your family and relatives.
03:15Yeah, I have our church members around me.
03:19I thank God for them.
03:22They have been my main support from then until now.
03:27I really thank God for the members of the land of Judah's Future Baptist Church.
03:35And they show me what togetherness is.
03:39They have been left for me even this morning.
03:42According to police, at around 8.35 a.m. last Saturday, the motor vehicle driven by Thomas Owe,
03:4878 years, with front seat passenger Marjorie Harry Owe, both of Upper Wharton Street, Lamontill,
03:55was proceeding along Richmond Orchard Drive. Upon reaching the intersection of Windward Road,
04:02the vehicle stopped to allow another motor car to proceed. Both vehicles stopped to allow each
04:09other to proceed and both moved off simultaneously, resulting in them colliding. The impact pushed the
04:16vehicle driven by Thomas Owe to plunge 30 feet down the Richmond River. Marjorie Harry Owe,
