“On 31st of May, 2010, Ragendra Singh visited me and we were drinking non-stop. Singh did not go home that night.
“ The next morning I found his body motionless. I threw a bucket of water on him before calling in the police.”
Indrar who was later charged with the murder of his friend told the police that he did not see any bloodstains around nor did he see any marks of violence on Singh’s body.
However, another friend who visited the home told a different story. He said that he saw what appeared to be bloodstains on the floor and blood oozing from the deceased’s mouth.
Attorney-at-Law, Mr.George Thomas is appearing for the accused.
Miss Dhanika Singh is prosecuting.
The hearing is continuing.
