An Arima man is expected to appear virtually before an Arima magistrate today, charged with the murder of Andrea Bharatt, which took place sometime between January 29 and February 4.
Negus George, 24, from Malabar, Arima, was charged with the crime on Wednesday following advice from the director of the prosecution, Roger Gaspard SC. DPP Gaspard also advised George’s common law wife, Giselle Hobson, 37, of the same address, to be charged with receiving stolen property.
Andrea, 23, a clerk at the Arima Magistrates’ Court, was last seen boarding a taxi in Arima on January 29. Her family then reported a kidnapping. She was never seen alive again.
Her decomposing body was found in an abyss in the Heights of Aripo on February 4, 2021.
