After the indictment was read by State Prosecutor attorney at law Renita Singh the accused through his lawyer Attorney-at-law Raymond Ally decided to adopt a certain course which was accepted by the prosecution .
Before the prosecution presented the facts to the court, the accused pleaded not guilty to the charged of murder and guilty to the lesser count of manslaughter.
Justice Insanally then ordered a probation report. The matter was then adjourned to February 11 when that report is expected to be presented and Janak will know his fate.
