Photos of the burnt bodies of the couple Marie Claire L’Entêté, 49, and Sylvio Armand, 60, who died in the fire at their house on rue Jean Blaise, Sugar Planters’, Pointe aux Sables circulated on social networks shortly after the autopsy. According to reports, Dr. Sudesh Kumar Gungadin, head of the police forensic department, can be seen examining the two bodies during the autopsy at the morgue of the Dr. A.G.Jeetoo Hospital, Port-Louis. A complaint for breaching the Information Communication and Technologies Act (ICTA) was reported to the police.
Inspector Persand of the Criminal Investigation Division (CID) of the Metropolitan Police South reported a case of “breach of Icta” to the Casernes Centrales police station on the afternoon of Wednesday October 18. In this complaint he reported the discovery by Dr. Gungadin on the afternoon of Tuesday October 17 of several photos of the charred bodies that were photographed during the autopsy.
Dr. Gungadin asked the police to open an investigation to identify the author of the incriminating photos.
A fire broke out in the tin room occupied by Marie Claire L’Entêté and her partner Sylvio Armand for the past five years at around 8.30pm on Monday evening, October 16. For family reasons, the sixty-year-old decided to leave his home in Petite Rivière and move in with his niece, his sister’s daughter, in Pointe aux Sables. He was due to return to Petite Rivière, as his wife had built a new house there.
