Trial for girl’s death

A Dandenong man charged over a girl’s death in South Australia will stand trial in May.
Shujaat Bahrami, 40, received the news at a hearing in Adelaide Magistrates’ Court on Thursday 23 March where his case was adjourned to Thursday 4 May.
South Australian police charged Mr Bahrami with one count of causing death by dangerous driving, three counts of causing serious harm by dangerous driving, and one count of aggravated due care over an eight-year-old Kilburn girl’s death in a Barossa Valley car crash last year.
They allege he was behind the wheel of a Hyundai SUV that collided head-on with a Mitsubishi Pajero four-wheel drive on Duck Pond Road, Stockwell, just before 4pm on Sunday 2 October.
The girl was in the Hyundai’s back seat and died at the scene.
