Third Suspect Arrested in Selven Iyempermal Murder Case
Mauritius's Major Crimes Investigation Team arrested a man in his thirties on 11 November over the killing of Selven Iyempermal, linked to a violent robbery in Vacoas.
Mauritius police have made a third arrest in the murder case of Selven Iyempermal, with the Major Crimes Investigation Team (MCIT) detaining a man in his thirties on Wednesday 11 November.
The MCIT is a specialised unit within the Mauritius Police Force responsible for investigating serious offences including homicides, kidnappings and other major crimes.
The newly arrested suspect is believed to be connected to a violent robbery that took place in Vacoas, a town in the central highlands of Mauritius, and is alleged to have links to the attack on the victim. He is expected to appear before a local court following his arrest.
This latest arrest brings the total number of suspects held in connection with the Iyempermal case to three. Two individuals had previously been taken into custody as the investigation progressed.
Details of the precise circumstances surrounding Selven Iyempermal's death and the full nature of each suspect's alleged involvement have not yet been made public by investigators. The case remains under active inquiry.
The Vacoas connection suggests investigators are pursuing a line of inquiry that ties the murder to a broader pattern of violent criminal activity in the area. Vacoas is part of the Vacoas-Phoenix municipality, one of the more densely populated urban zones on the island.
Further court appearances and formal charges are expected as the investigation continues. No trial date has been set at this stage.
