Murdered mom’s son in jail

On Wednesday last, Balgobin’s body was found in an open field not too far from her Enterprise home. She was stark naked and in a foetal position.

Her head was bashed in. The tiger-patterned leggings and blouse she was wearing, at the time, was found next to her body. Balgobin’s casket will remain closed during the funeral service because of the condition of her face. “The face mash up bad so we can’t open the box. A framed picture will be on top of the box instead.” According to police reports, at about 5 am, Balgobin, a grandmother of one, was walking through a track near Walcott Street, close to African Grounds, Enterprise when she was approached by a man she knew. Reports are that he attempted to rob her and a fight ensued during which time she was struck several times in the head. Her funeral service will be conducted under Hindu rites and will be followed by cremation at the Waterloo Cremation site.

Also being laid to rest today is Larry Sieunarine, a father of two who was shot and killed in his bed on Thursday morning.
