The victim of the abduction, Andrea Bharatt, was hit with a blunt object on the forehead, causing her to fall. The impact led to skull fracture and internal bleeding.
This is according to activist Inshan Ishmael, who along with two other people covered the cost of a private autopsy.
An autopsy performed at the Center for Legal Sciences on Monday could not determine how Bharatt died.
The second autopsy was performed by Professor Hubert Daisely at the Boodoo Funeral Home in Cunupia.
Saying she wanted thousands of people who supported Bharatt and her family to find out the truth, Ishmael revealed the autopsy findings in a live video on social media this afternoon.
He said: “As I promised yesterday, I was not satisfied with the inconclusive report I received yesterday from the pathologist about such a thing. In fact, I said yesterday that for me it is unlikely that after just a few days the report could be inconclusive. “
The findings were revealed to Bharatt’s father before they were made public, he said.
Ishmael said: “I could tell you that Professor Daisley’s report is not inconclusive and he found the reason for her death. Andrea was hit in the forehead with something blunt and which caused her to fall back and her skull fractured and which caused bleeding inside. The entire area inside the skull could be seen as reddish-pink … She died of internal bleeding. “
Ishmael said the pathologist also found puncture wounds on Bharatt’s arm. However, he said, Daisely could not say if the injuries were caused at the first autopsy.
Samples were taken to determine whether Bharrat was sexually assaulted.
He said an examination of her stomach indicated that Bharatt had not been fed or eaten in the hours before her death.
“This is not my child and I feel I am going through trauma. I want Mr Bharatt to know that we are with him and we will support him through that,” he said.
Express was informed that both reports, the autopsy performed by the state and privately, will be admissible in this regard.
