CRIMINAL proceedings against a Cumuto man and his daughter accused of murdering his common-law partner have formally ended.

Sewak Jagroo, 58, was charged in August 2023 alongside his daughter Shastri Jagroo, 25, with the 2014 murder of Esther Williams, who was initially believed to have died by suicide.

During a hearing before Master Shabiki Cazabon on June 18, attorneys representing the State and the accused confirmed that a notice of discontinuance would be filed by that day. The court also ordered that Shastri be released upon the filing and service of the notice on prison authorities.
