Singh who was a forty-one-year old joiner, left his home, which he shared with a woman around 3:45 pm to go to a house at Good Hope after receiving a cell phone call. He was subsequently discovered dead in the house with several lacerations about his body.
A woman and three of her male relatives were then held

One of the man’s relatives had told this newspaper that Singh and his estranged wife, who was questioned by police started having problems after he returned from a visit to the United States in 2002.

This had brought about a confrontation between the two resulting in both parties sustaining bodily harm, the relative said.
The estranged wife had four children prior to her marriage to Singh. Their marriage produced four more children.

The relative had further told this newspaper that Singh had gone to the Good Hope house on Easter Monday and had decided to put out some of his stepchildren.
