Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum was able to crack the case on May 22 when a team of detectives spent five hours digging up a site at Naraine’s home located at Lot 51 Seaforth Street, Campbellville, Georgetown, where they believed Sarjou was buried.
According to reports, Sarjou had left her home to go to the Diwali motorcade on the eve of November 4, 2010, with Naraine who had called her. He reportedly picked her up in his car and while she was sitting in the front passenger seat, she was strangled by Pronton who was reportedly seated at the back of the car.
Sarjou’s lifeless body was allegedly transported to Naraine’s house where he resided with his wife and children. Reports had indicated that Naraine had dug Sarjou’s grave two days before she was killed.
