She confirmed that it is the older brother, Satnarine Jattan called ‘Dalim’ who is deceased that was known to be aggressive and ‘hot headed’. According to her, she is not sure what he might have said or done to the suspect, Roopchand Jattan called ‘Navin’ that might have caused him, Navin to react in such a violent manner.

Ms. Samaroo in an interview Tuesday morning at her home with BIG Smith Crime Watch, confirmed that the two boys were indeed drinking along with another brother who left before the incident took place. The distraught mother also spoke removing a cutlass from the front of the house after the boys began imbibing as she did not want any incident where the cutlass would be used.
