Two people have been detained for questioning in connection with the mysterious deaths of friends Khemraj Maharaj and Mahase Motilal.
Maharaj and Motilal, who were described as rum buddies, were found bound together by the waist with rope, their eyebrows shaven off and electrical tape by a resident in front Las Vegas Recreation↔Club on Friday morning.
Both men were seen liming together by the recreation club around 8 pm, Thursday. The circumstances, which led to their deaths, are still not clear.
An autopsy at the Forensic Science Centre showed both men died from something they drank.
However, forensic pathologist, Dr Valery Alexandrov, said the substance was not lanate, paraquat or Gramoxone. Blood, bile and urine samples were sent for analysis.
Motilal’s funeral service took place under Hindu rites at the house of mourning in Tarouba and then to the Shore of Peace at Mosquito Creek where he was cremated.
Maharaj’s funeral has not yet been finalised. Detectives of the South Homicide Bureau are investigating.
