Former husband, accomplice jailed for murder of Babita Sarjou

Anand Narine, ex-husband of Babita Sarjou, wept and begged for mercy when he was yesterday sentenced to 22 and a half years in prison for her murder.

His co-accused, Darrol Ponton called ‘Yankee’, was sentenced to 18 and a half years for the same crime. The decision was handed down 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 that the two spent behinds bar on remand will be deducted from their given sentences.
