Dear Editor,

IN LIGHT of the recent media coverage regarding the Preliminary Inquiry of Marcus Brian Bisram relating to the murder of Faiyaz Narinedatt, we the family of Faiyaz would like to express full support of and confidence in the office of Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) and assigned State Prosecutor Stacy Goodings.

Prosecutor Goodings has been working diligently, and has displayed the code of professionalism in the courtroom, conducting herself with dignity, civility, courtesy and a sense of fair play to
bring justice for Faiyaz and our family.

It is important for members of the Ministry of Public Security to be knowledgeable about
these types of court matters, and to work closely with the DPP before releasing embarrassing statements to the press. This sends the wrong messages to families like ours and to the public,
implying that the Prosecutor, Ms. Goodings and the DPP are not doing their job.

It is this type of distrustful behaviour that instills corruption in the judicial system that disallows families to
receive justice when sitting in a courtroom, knowing we cannot bring our Faiyaz back. We are confident that the Office of DPP will show that justice can prevail in this matter, and our Faiyaz’s case will not become another statistic of a judicial failure. For those who have continuously supported and fought alongside our family, we are eternally grateful that you stood by us and never gave up hope.

Regards,

Family of Faiyaz Narinedatt
