Doorasamy has been an awaiting trial prisoner at Westville Prison for two years.

He put forward that Doorasamy made a concoction of antifreeze and cranberry juice, which he forced Naidoo to drink before he consumed it himself. When Doorasamy woke up, he found that Naidoo had died. Vahed spoke of the couple's wedding that was aired on television. He said Naidoo won the competition and was given R75 000 to plan her wedding and that the couple married as a result of the programme.

In looking at Naidoo’s brother’s evidence, Vahed said he found nothing substantial, apart from the couple having a rushed wedding day due to the TV show, and that it was a happy one.Vahed said Doorasamy gave information to Warrant Officer PD Naicker, at the satellite station, voluntarily and spontaneously.

He said the crux of the State's evidence was from Sergeant Princess Kunene who responded to the scene. Kunene said on arrival, she noticed Doorasamy's clothing was wet, that he had sand on his pants. She also noted that upon inspecting Naidoo’s body, no open wounds were found."Her entire conversation with Doorasamy unfolded in the absence of any warning of self-incrimination or any caution that he should not answer any questions.

He said people living in such circumstances as depicted, must have been driven beyond normal behaviour.After judgment was pronounced, Doorasamy's mother Vani and sisters, Trinesha and Ramanie, became emotional.
