FOR Andrew Persad, the father of 15-year-old murder victim Malini, Father’s Day yesterday was unlike any other.

As many fathers celebrated, Persad—a father of two—said goodbye to his younger daughter.

Seated behind his wife, Leela, and daughter, Sunita, during the funeral service at their Rochard Douglas Road, Barrackpore home yesterday, Persad looked on at the ceremony presided over by father-and-son pundits Narine and Dharmendra Persad Sharma.
