Collin Pillay, the man charged with the murders of Jane Govindsamy and her two daughters, spent the night with a “lady friend” hours after discovering that his lover, Jane, had been murdered.

Pillay later told the court that Govindsamy’s daughters were aware of his nearly nine-year-long relationship with their mother and that they were his"friends".

He told the court how he used to spend the night at the Govindsamy home when Jane’s husband, Sagren, was working certain shifts. He explained that he would need to sneak in and out of the house because Denisha did not approve of the relationship. Senior state prosecutor Cheryl Naidu put Pillay under pressure when she repeatedly questioned how he would sneak in and out of the house without being noticed by Denisha because the house was so small.

Naidu questioned Pillay on evidence he had given on how Jane would sometimes meet him outside the flat and sit in his car for three to four hours. She brought out cellphone records and asked Pillay to show her when he was at the house because the records did not place him in the area for longer than 30 minutes.
