The Chief Magistrate yesterday ruled to have a caution statement and five oral statements made by Anand Narine, one of the men accused of killing Babita Sarjou six years ago, admitted into evidence during the continuation of the Preliminary Inquiry (PI) into the crime.
Narine was charged alongside Darrol Compton with the murder of Sarjou, which occurred on November 4, 2010.
During the continuation of the PI before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan, the court heard that the caution statement made by Narine on May 22, 2016 was given freely and voluntarily.
It was also stated that the five oral statements made by Narine were also made freely.
It was based on these facts that the statements were admitted to form part of the prosecution’s case as admissible evidence.
The matter will continue on February 27.
