Following the Equator
Part 5

CHAPTER XLIII
6/23

Tookaram and my mother took part in killing the girl.
After the murder her body was wrapped up in a mattress and kept on the loft over the door of our room.

When Cassi was strangled, the door of the room was fastened from the inside by Tookaram.

This deed was committed shortly after my return home from work in the mill.

Tookaram put the body of the deceased in the mattress, and, after it was left on the loft, he went to have his head shaved by a barber named Sambhoo Raghoo, who lives only one door away from me.
My mother and myself then remained in the possession of the information.

I was slapped and threatened by my paramour, Tookaram, and that was the only reason why I did not inform any one at that time.
