JENSEN LA VENDE

HOMICIDE detectives are investigating the death of a woman in Maraval under what they deem very questionable circumstances.

According to police reports, 38-year-old Nanvita Harduthan was found in her Pineapple Trace, Haleland Park home, on Thursday, in what was described as a suicide. When Harduthan’s body was taken to the Port of Spain General Hospital mortuary, doctors noticed marks of violence and ordered that her body be sent to the Forensic Science Centre, St James for an autopsy which was done on Friday.

The autopsy revealed she died of asphyxiation, however her death has not yet been classified. Police said Harduthan’s husband found her body on their bed with a strap around her neck.
