Ragnauth’s wife Zira Ragnauth said yesterday that the family was relieved at the arrest and “would have to wait and see” if justice would be served.

On July 8, police had issued a warrant for Bourne’s arrest.

Ragnauth’s body was found on November 7, 2012, with his throat slit at his home at Whim; his grocery shop had been broken into.
