By Newsroom

Thirty-year-old Vishal Birju appeared before the Siparia Magistrates’ Court today after he was charged with the murder of Gabriella Du Barry, yesterday. Last Thursday Du Barry was at her parents’ home when he stormed the house and shot her three times.

She died at the scene. Birju was sent to the St. Ann’s Psychiatric Hospital for assessment after he began visibly shaking in court. Magistrate Ava Vandenberg-Bailey allowed defence attorney Nazima Ali Knox’s request that her client be sent for a psychological assessment based on the ‘ph’ taxi driver’s behaviour in court today. He will return to court on January 28.
