While weeping and begging for mercy the estranged ex-husband of Babita Sarjou was yesterday sentenced to 22 and a half years in prison for her murder while his co-accused was sentenced to 18 and a half years for the same crime by Justice Simone Morris-Ramlall who described their actions of killing the young woman and then burying her body in a shallow grave as “depraved”.
However, the six years the two spent behind bars will be deducted from their given sentences.
Today’s sentencing brought some justice for Sarjou’s family some 12 years after she went missing on November 10th 2010. Her remains was found in a shallow grave in her former husband’s Anand Narine’s Seaforth Street, Campbellville home in 2016. Narine along with Darrol Compton called ‘Yankee’were then charged with the woman’s gruesome murder and last month after initially denying the offence the two later changed their pleas to guilty.
