Kitty seawall death will remain unsolved – relatives

Just over one month since the body of Ramesh Katarhnauth was discovered on the Kitty seawall relatives believe that the case has been forgotten.

“I have given up on trying to find clues in relation to my brother’s death because since I found out it I have been trying to find out something, anything, but nothing,” one of Katarhnauth’s brothers said on Saturday.

The body of Katarhnauth, 29, of Sandy Babb Street, Kitty was discovered on the Kitty seawall on March 22 with suspected marks of violence.

The dead man had left home around 9 the previous night to buy cigarettes and a soft drink but never returned.

Katarhnauth’s brother, who asked not to be named, expressed concerns over the poor police investigation.

He said he believes that since the family is poor they will never know who killed Katarhnauth and the matter will be left unsolved.

A post-mortem examination performed on the body of Katarhnauth had revealed that he died as a result of asphyxia due to drowning, compounded by a compression injury to the neck and multiple blunt trauma to the body.
