In a case that has gripped the local community, 24-year-old Yogeendra Sukhdeo has been committed to stand trial for the murder of businessman Amit Singh. The crime, which took place on October 24, 2023, on Middle Road, Campbellville, shocked residents and sparked an intense investigation.
Singh, a well-known figure in the business community, was last seen alive with Sukhdeo at approximately 1:30 PM on the day of his disappearance. When Singh could not be reached later that afternoon, his family filed a missing person’s report at 4:00 PM. This led authorities to launch an immediate investigation into his whereabouts.
Prosecutor Latchmie Rahamat presented evidence during the preliminary hearing through a paper committal process. The defense team did not contest the prosecution’s application, leaving the evidence unchallenged. After reviewing the material presented, the court ruled that there was sufficient evidence to send Sukhdeo to trial at the next session of the assizes.
Details of the case remain limited as investigators continue to piece together what transpired on that fateful day. However, sources close to the investigation suggest that Singh’s disappearance and subsequent murder may have been premeditated. The prosecution has not disclosed whether additional suspects or motives are being considered at this stage.
The tragic death of Amit Singh has left his family and the community in mourning. Known for his contributions to local commerce and his active involvement in charitable initiatives, Singh’s murder has raised concerns about safety and crime in Georgetown.
Sukhdeo remains in custody as he awaits trial. The case is expected to draw significant public attention when it comes before the courts later this year. Meanwhile, Singh’s family continues to call for justice as they grapple with their loss.
Authorities have urged anyone with additional information about the case to come forward as they work to ensure a thorough and fair judicial process.
