PANJIM, JULY 18
Even as youngest sibling of Torrado family was undergoing treatment for depression at Institute of Psychiatry and Human Behaviour, a friend of the Torrado family has now claimed that Nadia had walked into the Loutolim market during the time when she was supposed to have consumed poison.
“Nadia was in the market after 9.30 am and returned home at around 11.50 am… She had interacted with many people including a newspaper vendor”, Maria Mascarenhas, close friend of Torrado family told reporters today.
Police in their investigation had revealed that Nadia had consumed poison at 9 am on May 15 and was later shifted to hospital at around 2 pm. Nadia’s mother, Sonia is charged with abetment of suicide, culpable homicide and destruction of evidence.
Mascarenhas is attending to Nadia’s brother, Conrad, at Institute of Psychiatry and Human Behaviour, who has gone into depression after his mother’s arrest.
“Nadia had enough chance to inform people about her taking poison as she had spoken to many people”, Mascarenhas said.
She added saying, “Nadia had even brought patties from a bakery for breakfast”.
The investigating agencies earlier had questioned the delay in taking Nadia to the hospital by the family members while her mother, Sonia, has stated that it was only at 2 pm that they came to know about Nadia consuming poison.
Former tourism minister, Mickky Pacheco and Sonia, are arrested by Crime Branch in connection with Nadia’s death.
