Later that morning, Boodhoo went to the said culvert where she made checks and saw part of her husband’s shirt in a trench next to the said culvert. She then alerted neighbours and his body was pulled up by two policemen who arrived at the scene.
Ramoutar’s body, which was faced down in the trench, at the time was clad in a multi-colour shirt and grey pants. A black slipper was also seen on his left foot.
The body was examined by police and a wound was seen above his left eye. A further search was conducted and a right side black slipper was found about three feet away in the trench from where the body was found. The area was canvassed for CCTV camera but none was seen. Several persons in the area were questioned but no useful information was received, according to police.
Ramoutar’s body was taken to the New Amsterdam Public Hospital to be examined and after this, it was taken to the Arokium Funeral Home where it awaits a post mortem examination.
