Bisram’s mother detained for alleged witness tampering

As the Preliminary Inquiry (PI) continues into the murder of Faiyaz Narinedatt, the mother of fugitive businessman Marcus Bisram, was yesterday arrested at the Springlands Magistrate’s Court. A police source disclosed that the woman, Sharmilla Inderjali, was arrested for attempting to pervert the course of justice in connection with the murder of Narinedatt, a carpenter of Number 70 Village. According to information received, Inderjali attempted to persuade witnesses in the murder PI to recant their stories. Inderjali was questioned and subsequently released on 100,000 US station bail. Police were reportedly looking for Inderjali after a 21-yearold witness was also arrested on Saturday on allegations of witness tampering. Inderjali’s arrest came one a day after prominent attorney-at-law Chandra Sohan was also arrested at his home on allegations of witness tampering. Kaieteur News understands that the investigators arrested Sohan based on statements they received from the detained witness.

The eyewitness reportedly identified an individual in the legal fraternity whom he claimed influenced him to persuade another witness to also change his story. Bisram’s mother was previously charged for attempting to suppress evidence by offering a 4M US bribe to one of the detectives attached to the Major Crimes Unit, at Eve Leary, police headquarters. It was reported that she turned up at the Criminal Investigations Department (CID). She along with Maryanne Lionel, 25, a bank teller attached to Republic Bank, also of Number 71 Village, Corentyne, Berbice, were arrested during a sting operation. They appeared before the Chief Magistrate and were charged for willfully attempting to pervert the course of justice.
