RAD­HI­CA DE SIL­VA

Rus­sell Be­dasse, the po­lice of­fi­cer who pledged to spend the rest of his life in­ves­ti­gat­ing the sus­pi­cious death of his moth­er, Shelawai­htie “Meera” Be­dasse, was found hang­ing in a room of his Coro­man­del Vil­lage, Ce­dros home yes­ter­day.

Shelawai­htie, 57, had been found hang­ing from a tree at Clifton Hill beach on Re­pub­lic Day. Be­dasse was con­vinced she was mur­dered—her body staged to ap­pear as a sui­cide.
