De­ter­mined to find out how her on­ly child,  28-year-old Dy­lan Ma­haraj, was killed, a South Oropouche moth­er yes­ter­day plead­ed for an­swers. Grief-strick­en and heart­bro­ken, Vashti Singh could not hold back her tears dur­ing an in­ter­view with re­porters at her home yes­ter­day.

Ma­haraj, an AC tech­ni­cian, from Dow Vil­lage, South Oropouche, went to  Jan­gal for­est in Ves­signy Vil­lage, La Brea, with his friend Damien Dook­ie,  23, and an­oth­er friend to hunt around 10.30 pm on Fri­day.

His friend told po­lice that Ma­haraj was hunt­ing about 200 feet away from him when he heard a gun­shot. He called out to Ma­haraj but got no an­swer, and on check­ing, he saw him hold­ing his right side chest bleed­ing.
