A 12-member jury at the Berbice High Court finds Dipnarine Seelall, also known as “Narei” or “Nari,” not guilty of murdering his wife, Tavita Natasha Lall, over her 2022 fiery death. The jury delivers a unanimous verdict on Friday, ending the murder case against Seelall.
The jury also unanimously finds him not guilty of manslaughter, the lesser offence presented alongside the murder charge. Reporting across outlets describes the verdict as unexpected, including for the prosecution.
Both accounts focus on the same court outcome—acquittal on the top charge and on the alternative manslaughter count—and identify the victim, location in Berbice, and the defendant’s multiple names used in court.
