UPDATE: Mother of murdered Berbice teen said she did her best to protect daughter; accused almost killed ex-lover (VIDEO)

The mother of the murdered Berbice teenaged girl who was brutally murdered by her common -law husband has finally broken her silence.

Indrawattie Narine is sharing her side of the story after she was ridiculed for allowing her 16-year-old daughter to ‘live home’ with a 25-year-old man.

She explained that her daughter took off with the accused earlier in the year but later reached out to her and asked to return home with the man. The woman said she agreed because Parbatie Lakpaul is her only daughter and she was afraid the teen would try to harm herself.

The former student of the Berbice Educational Insitute High (BEI) was brutally murdered Saturday last by Ryan Singh. The man was reportedly unemployed and has been abusing the teen from the beginning of their relationship.

The couple was living together in the lower flat of the victim’s mother’s house.

Two days ago, Parbatie decided she had enough and ended the abusive relationship. She asked her abuser to leave the home.

He did but returned today while she was picking her nieces up and hid in the house. As she entered the house, the man ambushed her and slit her throat.

VIDEO: Top cop ‘suggested’ suspect in assassination plot against President Granger be released on bail

Top Cop Seelall Persaud told the Commission of Inquiry set up to investigate the alleged assassination plot against President David Granger, that he gave a ‘suggestion’ not an instruction to have businessman Nazim Khan placed on bail.

The City businessman is accused of plotting to assassinate President Granger. This shocking allegation was leveled against him by Andriff Gilard.

It was revealed to the commission that Persaud instructed Khan’s release, despite the gravity of the offence. Now, this was done while Persaud was on leave and David Ramnarine was acting commissioner.

Khan was arrested by Police and his property searched following the allegation.

The top cop said his opinion was that Nazim Khan should not have been detained, as there were “serious credibility issues” with the report, as indicated by the investigating rank.

He maintains that his judgment was sound and still stands.

Persaud admitted that he has been friends with Imran Khan, the brother of the man accused of plotting to kill the president, but stated that he does not share the same relationship with Nazim.

Acting Commissioner of Police, Ramnarine told the commission last Friday, that the alleged assassination plot against the President was not properly investigated in his opinion.

Persaud said there are no logics to Ramnarine’s opinion that the Police did not properly investigate the matter.
