Dear Editor,
The parents of Vivian Singh Balrup are still mourning the loss of their son after 13 long years since he was killed.
The relevant authorities were contacted numerous times and were begged for the case to reopen, but to no avail. Vivian Singh Balrup was only 16 years old , a Multilateral student , whose life was brutally snatched away by ruthless people at the No.63 Beach on November 8th 2009. Even though there was an eyewitness no justice was given. On the night of the murder, the eyewitness who was 15 years of age then, called us via telephone and said ” uncle I will tell you everything that happen”. At that time , the father of Vivian Singh Balrup was in an emotional state of mind and told her, the eyewitness, ” tell the police everything “. Over the years we have been trying desperately through the media to seek justice . However, we have never spoken or contacted the eye witness and yet we received a letter from her lawyer stating that we should desist from using slanderous words about her. Why is it that the eyewitness doesn’t want us to seek justice? The last officer we contacted was Jessaamy who at that said time was investigating “cold case” and revealed that Vivian Singh Balrup’s case was never closed. We are imploring the relevant authorities to look into this matter. We are now aware that Officer Narine is looking after cold cases and years ago when he was a Corporal knows everything about this murder case because a statement was given by Kirpal Singh Balrup ( father of Vivian ) . The 8th of November will be Vivian’s 13th death anniversary and on November 17th he would have attained the age of 30 years.
Regards,
Parents of Deceased
