The murder of Selven Iyempermal, a 34-year-old man, has led to the arrest of a third suspect, Nicolas Nizam Amodine, 40, by the Divisional Crime Intelligence Unit (DCIU) of the central division on November 6. Amodine was handed over to the Major Crime Investigation Team (MCIT) for interrogation. The MCIT is investigating the violent attack that occurred on October 27 at La Caverne, Vacoas, which resulted in Iyempermal's death on October 28.
The attack involved six individuals wearing black and hooded, who entered a house where Iyempermal and a 32-year-old friend were present. The attackers were armed with telescopic batons, a sword, and a baseball bat, and demanded money from Iyempermal before beating him. The friend attempted to intervene and was also injured in the arm and legs. Both men were taken to Victoria Hospital in Candos, where Iyempermal succumbed to his injuries.
The investigation is being led by the MCIT, with the DCIU providing support. Two suspects, Imtiyaz Chady, 35, and Ridwan Bauluck, were previously arrested on October 30 and November 5, respectively. Chady has been charged with murder, while Bauluck faces charges of perverting the course of justice. Both suspects have denied any involvement in the crime.
The motives behind the attack are still being investigated, with one possible lead being a settlement of scores related to the drug trade. The police are working to determine the role of each suspect and identify other individuals who may have participated in the attack. The investigation is ongoing, with the authorities seeking to gather more evidence and bring those responsible to justice.
