Babita Sarjou’s PI
sunita Sarjou, the sister of Babita Sarjou and the last person to interact with her on the day of her disappearance, on Wednesday took the stand before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan to give her testimony.
The woman, who was 15 years old at the time, related her recollection of that day.
She was being questioned by Police Prosecutor Neville Jeffers after which she was cross-examined by Peter Hughes, the defence counsel of the number one accused, Anand Narine.
The younger Sarjou recollected being in the room with her sister and watching as she prepared for the evening’s occasion – a motorcade.
She described to the court in detail what Sarjou was wearing when she left that evening.
Sunita was called to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) on the day of the discovery of her sister’s remains to identify the garment found buried with her body.
In her testimony, she also disclosed that prior to her sister’s marriage to the number one accused, she knew him for over seven years.
Currently, Narine and number two accused Darrel Ponton are before the court charged with the murder of Sarjou.
The victim, in November of 2010, left her home to view a Diwali motorcade; however, she failed to return.
Sarjou’s whereabouts remained a mystery for several years, but her family never gave up on getting an explanation for her disappearance. In March of last year, the woman’s remains were found in her estranged husband’s Lot 51 Seaforth Street, Campbellville, Georgetown backyard.
The remains were positively identified by her mother and sister.
