MURDERED: Hafeeza Rohoman
murder of his reputed wife, whose lifeless body was found in a canal at Helena, Mahaica, ECD four days after she went missing.
Lakeram Harinarine, 23, of Lot 6 Helena Mahaica, was not required to plead to the indictable charge which alleged that he killed 28 year-old Hafeeza Rohoman between January 7 and 10.
Magistrate Zamilla Ally-Seepaul sitting in the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court ordered the accused to make his next court appearance yesterday, in the Mahaica Magistrate’s Court.
According to reports, the partially decomposed body of Rohoman was pulled out of the canal on January 10. The woman, who is said to be a constant victim of domestic violence, had gone missing.
A post mortem revealed that the woman died of drowning, but there was evidence to support that she received blows to the head.
It was reported that Harinarine confessed to police that he played a role in the woman’s death.
Police Inspector, Hattie Anthony, presented the prosecution’s case. She told the court that the accused and Rohoman shared a common law relationship. She said that on January 7, they had a misunderstanding over the woman going back to live with the father of her children.
The prosecutor related that it is alleged that Harinarine hit the woman to the head with a bicycle bar and she fell overboard into the canal and drowned.
