Inside their small rented apartment was the body of Ootit, aged 36. He was hanging from a noose made from nylon cord attached to a hook embedded into a wooden roof beam.
Also present was the victim’s wife, Nalisarar, aged 29, who told us how she had reported her husband for domestic abuse and as a result he spent 24 hours behind bars before being released on Tuesday morning.
When he returned home he reportedly struck his wife who fled and made her way to the police station again to report the incident. She returned to the room with police who found Ootit hanging from the roof beam.
