THE family of 15-year-old Malini Persad, an autistic teenager who was murdered, remains in limbo as they await official confirmation of her cause of death and the release of her body for burial.
Malini’s remains were discovered in a forested area off KPA Road in Barrackpore on April 19, six days after she was reported missing.
An autopsy, initially scheduled for April 25 and later postponed to April 28, has since been conducted. However, authorities have not yet shared the findings with the family. They were informed that DNA samples taken during the procedure need to be sent overseas for further analysis.
