Breaking News…Sharanie Doobay murder solved

Nephew confesses, hammer used to kill aunt recovered

Mark Singh, the detained nephew of Mrs. Sharanie Doobay, reportedly confessed yesterday that he beat his aunt to death with a hammer shortly after she allowed him and a friend into her home.
He then led police to a trench in Stone Avenue, Campbellville, in which he had disposed of the weapon.
The hammer, wrapped in a plastic bag, was recovered on the stroke of 3:00 pm yesterday in a trench in Stone Avenue, Campbellville, after detectives had scoured the area for close to two hours.
Police officials said that the breakthrough came some hours after the 38-year-old man admitted to killing his aunt, who had let him and a friend into her home and given them refreshments.
The body of 58-year-old Sharanie Doobay was found lying in a pool of blood near the kitchen of the two-storey Echilibar Villas, Campbellville residence last week Tuesday.
She had been repeatedly struck in the head with a blunt instrument.
Investigators believe that Mrs. Doobay was killed about two and a half hours before she was reportedly found.
Reports are that Dr Doobay, accompanied by a nephew, arrived home at around 16:30 hours. He called repeatedly for his wife to open the door but got no answer.
He eventually sought assistance from his nephew to remove a few panes from a window on the upper flat, since those in the lower flat were reinforced with metal grills.
The nephew then climbed through the window, and entered the bottom flat, where he made the gruesome discovery.
A neighbour who saw them trying to enter the house enquired whether something was wrong. The neighbour said that the nephew who was entering the home through the window simply said that Dr Doobay was there.
The neighbour said that Dr Doobay said nothing but a female who was there explained that they were calling the home and were getting no answer.
Other persons in the area reported that earlier in the day they heard Mrs. Doobay ‘cussing’ on the phone.
Another person said that he saw a silver-coloured car at Doobay’s home around 15:00 hours. This individual begged not to be identified.
