She said her family is still awaiting justice for the death of her eldest son.
“I want justice, just justice I need,” the woman said.
It was disclosed today that three suspects are in custody in connection with the murder; one adult and two children.
The News Room was told by a senior police detective that moves were afoot to secure an extension of 72 hour detention period for the three males.
Today the News Room visited the home of the adult who it is alleged instigated the other two young men to attack the 13-year-old.
His wife said that her husband who was intoxicated on the night of the incident was still in the custody of the police and she was not at home at the time the incident took place so she cannot comment on what might have transpired.
On Monday, a statement from the police disclosed that investigations revealed that while at the function, Sanchar had an altercation with some men over a female, after which he left and returned with a cutlass. It added that a further argument ensued and it was alleged that one of the men took away the cutlass and dealt him (the deceased) a chop to his head. Whilst on the ground, he was given a severe beating with a stick.
