As in­ves­ti­ga­tions con­tin­ue in­to the death of Han­nah Mathu­ra, at­tor­neys rep­re­sent­ing her sib­lings say they are now be­ing made aware of cer­tain cir­cum­stances un­earthed by the po­lice probe.

Dur­ing a vir­tu­al me­dia brief­ing on Tues­day, at­tor­neys San­jiv Bood­hu and Sasha Paula Singh told re­porters that their clients, the Mathu­ra sib­lings have co-op­er­at­ed ful­ly with in­ves­ti­ga­tors through sev­er­al in­ter­views.

Bood­hu not­ed that there were dif­fer­ent pieces of in­for­ma­tion the sib­lings them­selves were not aware of un­til de­tec­tives be­gan their in­ves­ti­ga­tion.

"Sev­er­al facts have come out as a re­sult of the po­lice in­ves­ti­ga­tion that they need to grap­ple with, need to in­ter­nalise and even­tu­al­ly I can on­ly as­sume we will re­ceive in­struc­tions to up­date the pub­lic ac­cord­ing­ly."

Bood­hu said he was cau­tious to re­veal too much in­for­ma­tion which may com­pro­mise the on­go­ing en­quiry.

He al­so con­firmed that none of the sev­en sib­lings have re­turned to the fam­i­ly's Bu­tu Street, Val­sayn South, home.

He not­ed the sib­lings were al­so re­ceiv­ing psy­cho­log­i­cal sup­port from the po­lice Vic­tim and Wit­ness Sup­port Unit and com­mend­ed in­ves­ti­ga­tors for their pro­fes­sion­al­ism and com­pas­sion at this time.
