A woman and her two sons have been ar­rest­ed in con­nec­tion with the mur­der of teenag­er Videsh Dookran.

The 46-year-old woman and her sons, ages 18 and 22, of Gol­con­da, Ste Madeleine, were de­tained on Tues­day.

In a brief tele­phone in­ter­view on Wednes­day, Dookran’s moth­er De­vi­ka said she was aware of the ar­rests but she did not know the sus­pects.

She was con­fi­dent, how­ev­er, that she would get jus­tice for her son.

“I have to get jus­tice for my child,” she said.

Fol­low­ing an anony­mous call, po­lice found the body of the 15-year-old in an out­door bath­room in Gol­con­da two Sun­days ago.

A woman had called the po­lice anony­mous­ly around 5 am on Oc­to­ber 9 and re­port­ed that Dookran’s body was in­side an aban­doned house at the back of the Clas­sic Pluck Shop along Cipero Road.

In­ves­ti­ga­tors said the fe­male sus­pect who was ar­rest­ed is not the per­son who called the po­lice.

Con­sta­bles Mat­loo and Bal­go­b­in, of the Ste Madeleine Po­lice Sta­tion, went to the ad­dress and searched the aban­doned house, where they found the teenag­er’s body in a foetal po­si­tion in an out­door bath­room to the back of the build­ing.

Fur­ther in­quiries re­vealed that Dookran was with a group of peo­ple, in­clud­ing chil­dren, around 3 pm the day be­fore (Oc­to­ber 8) his body was found. An al­ter­ca­tion re­port­ed­ly broke out and some­one pulled out a firearm and shot him. Dookran’s body was then moved to an aban­doned build­ing.

An au­top­sy re­port found that said that Dookran, a Form Three stu­dent at Ste Madeleine Sec­ondary School, was shot in his chest.

Dookran’s rel­a­tives said he left their Gol­con­da home to vis­it a cousin in the area but he did not re­turn home.
