She said, he returned late in the afternoon and went upstairs without saying anything to anyone. “He just go upstairs, he na say nothing, we na see he back for the rest of the night and we na hear nothing,” she stated.
Yesterday morning around minutes to 8, her husband was about to install an antenna on the roof, when he noticed Singh’s front door slightly opened, which seemed off.
