Convicted killer: Kevin Mohan
On August 9, Mohan, called “Chuckie”, was unanimously found guilty of the September 4, 2016 murder of his aunt, Anita Mohan, 48.
After the jury delivered its verdict, Mohan, who was facing his second trial for the offence as his initial trial ended in a hung jury, exclaimed, “I get jail innocent! The only person that can judge me is the Almighty Allah.”

Throughout his trial which lasted for about two weeks, Mohan was represented by Attorney-at-Law Damien Da Silva, while Senior State Counsel Lisa Cave and Muntaz Ali appeared for the prosecution. To prove their case, the Prosecutors called 11 witnesses, inclusive of Police ranks, civilians, and a medical doctor.
Based on reports, the battered body of Anita Mohan was discovered in a pool of blood in the kitchen of her Lot 315 South East Cummings Lodge, Greater Georgetown home on September 4, 2016. Police had said that her nephew confessed to killing her during the course or furtherance of a robbery.
A post-mortem examination revealed that the woman sustained a chop wound to her head and one in the vicinity of her temple, along with a stab wound to her chin and one to her mouth. A portion of her tongue was severed, and she was strangled. (G1)
