(Trinidad Express) Amar Deobarran educated thousands of pupils over a long teaching career, but he will be remembered as a wife killer who ruined the lives of his children.
How what people described as a jovial, mild-mannered man ended up becoming a killer has been on the minds of his friends, relatives and colleagues since news of the Barrackpore atrocity emerged yesterday.
Deobarran’s attorneys, who requested anonymity, expressed shock and sadness about the incident.
They confirmed he had visited their office on Friday and had been upset about a particular correspondence he had received from another person, but they had sat with him and spoken with him at length in order to calm him down, and when he left the office, he appeared to be more settled.
They also confirmed that on their advice, he had been undergoing professional counselling in order to assist him to deal with certain domestic issues.
The attorneys were unable to divulge more details since it involved a matter before the court.
Close friends of Deobarran said he intended to listen to his advisers and change his mindset in life so he could have the chance to reunite with his family, particularly his children.
He died day morning from the poison he drank.
Fathered another child
The Sunday Express was told that Deobarran, who had recently revealed to his wife, Omatie Deobarran, that he had fathered a child outside of the matrimonial home, lost his father to Covid-19 in May 2021, and he too was a Covid-19 survivor.
His mother had recently undergone heart surgery and was shocked when Omatie, who had been living at the matrimonial home, confronted them with divorce proceedings.
On the day he committed murder, Deobarran had already marked the fourth anniversary of his sobriety, the Sunday Express was told.
