NATIONAL NEWS - Shahiel Sewpujun murder accused, Kavitha Naicker and her mother Rajwanthie Haripersadh, appeared again in the Verulam Magistrates’ Court yesterday.
At their last court appearance, four weeks were granted for the indictment to be finalised. Naicker and Rajwanthi were arrested after the Phoenix schoolboy’s battered and bruised body was found in a manhole four days after he was reported missing in February.
A postmortem report later showed the boy had been bludgeoned in the head with a blunt object.
Naicker was arrested a few days after the body was found, while Haripersadh was being treated in the Intensive Care Unit of Albert Luthuli Hospital following an alleged suicide attempt that happened a day before Sewpujan’s body was discovered.
