Mark Mathura, who was accused of being responsible for his father’s death was released from police custody over the weekend after an autopsy showed that his father died of jaundice and heart failure

The postmortem was done by pathologist Dr. Nehaul Singh. The cremation of his father, Parsram Mathura, 54, a mechanic of Lot 60 Friendship, East Bank Demerara, was halted after allegations surfaced that his 20-year- old son was involved in his demise.

Parsram Mathura’s cremation was planned for Sunday at Kashi Dhaam, West Coast Demerara (WCD). Relatives of the family in an interview with this publication had said that his son, Mark Mathura, is innocent since his father suffered a prolonged liver problem and was in and out of the Balwant Singh Hospital.

Reports indicate that the son lived with his father and a report was made at the Grove Police Station on November, 27, 2017 when the senior Mathura died at home. A police constable had visited the house and found no marks of violence on the body. This is days after he was seen by a doctor at Balwant Singh Hospital. The junior Mathura from the inception had denied any involvement in his father’s demise.
