The Express was told that Dinanath was married and a father of two.
A relative said that Dinanath spent Sunday with his family in Point Fortin and had cooked a meal for them.
He attended a baby shower in Arima later that night, the Express was told by a friend who wished to remain anonymous.
The source also said that Dinanath recently underwent surgery and was just getting back on his feet.
