Relatives still awaiting autopsy

Jotis’ mother Radica Seenath who lives in Tobago said that due to unforeseen circumstances, the autopsy which was scheduled for Monday at the Forensic Science Centre, St James, was cancelled.

“We went to Forensic on Monday and they told us it couldn’t be done due to a problem they were experiencing and asked us to return on Friday,” the heartbroken mother of six said.

“I just want this to be over with and bury my son.” At about 7.25 am last week Friday, Jotis, a supermarket employee was found dead on the beach in Mayaro.

He was found bare backed and clad in a shorts with his feet bound with what appeared to be twine used to repair fish nets. Investigators have not ruled out foul play.

Jotis moved to Trinidad about four years ago and lived with relatives in Mayaro.

He worked at a supermarket in the area.

Four months ago his house at Bigorat Hill was destroyed by fire and he lost everything.

He began staying with other relatives before recently moving out to live on his own in a beach house owned by a businessman.

Seenath arrived in Trinidad from Tobago on Monday to witness the autopsy.

“I have not cried as yet and I know God is giving me that strength. I am praying, Tobago is praying and I know we will get justice,” Seenath sai d. Jotis’ funeral will take place in Mayaro once the autopsy is completed.

Investigations are continuing
