Georgetown: A six year old investigation into a missing woman morphed into homicide as the skeletal remains of Babita Sarjou were discovered Sunday in her former husband’s backyard at the Lot 51 Seaforth Street property.
Detectives, aided by several recruits, dug up a skull, a few bones and bits of clothing from a shallow grave, reportedly after being led to the spot by an alleged accomplice of Sarjou’s husband, Anand Narine.
The police believe they have solved the 2010 disappearance and are aiming to confirm the identity with DNA testing.
Sarjou, 28, left home on November 4, 2010 after telling her mother, Champa Seonarine, that she would be meeting with her estranged husband and four-year-old son at the Kitty Seawall to view the annual Diwali Motorcade.
She was expected back at her mother’s Timehri residence around 21:00 hrs that night but never returned.
Sarjou’s mother in particular had campaigned over the years for the police to come up with answers on her disappearance. The investigation was reopened earlier this month and new statements were taken.
Police say 80 percent of the skeletal remains of the missing woman were recovered.
Hours later, a shackled Anand Narine, with head bowed, was escorted out of the same yard and escorted him to a police vehicle.
