| Indian couple charged with murder | |||
| By Rosina John Friday, Feb 13, 2009
A young couple was charged in a Dar es Salaam court yesterday with the grisly murder last week of 21-year-old Abdulbasit Abdallah. Indian nationals Vinoth Praveer Nadhesan and his wife Komal Bhupenda, who are both aged 23, were arraigned before the Kisutu Resident Magistrate. They were brought into the packed court at 11.30am before the murder charges were read out by Inspector of Police Emma Mkonyi. Mr Mkonyi told the court that the suspects committed the offence on February 6 this year on Kipata Street in Ilala District in Dar es Salaam. The two did not, however, enter plea as it was not allowed at that preliminary stage. The suspect will respond to the charge only at the High Court. The magistrate ordered that the suspects be remanded in prison until February 24, 2009 when their case comes up for mention. The prosecution earlier reported that investigations on the case were incomplete. The couple who were residing in Gerezani area were arrested early in the week at the Julius Nyerere International Airport on suspicion of involvement in the killing of Abdulbasit. Police said they were prevented from boarding an India bound Emirates flight on February 9, around the time when the body of the deceased was found in a suit case and in an abandoned car. It was alleged that Mr Praveer and the deceased were business partners.
