DNA tests confirm skeletal remains belong to Babita Sarjou

More than six month after skeletal remains were unearthed at the Campbellville residence of Babita Sarjou’s estranged husband, DNA tests have confirmed that they are indeed hers.

Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum yesterday told Stabroek News that the Guyana Police Force received the results from the DNA tests, which confirmed that the remains were indeed those of Sarjou, who was missing and presumed dead.

The remains are expected to be handed over to Sarjou’s family soon. On the eve of Diwali, in November of 2010, the then 28-year-old Sarjou had left her Timehri home to view the annual motorcade with her estranged husband, Anand Narine, and four-year-old son.
