00:00A police officer who reportedly witnessed the killing of attorney Taradar Singh may hold vital information as homicide investigators continue
00:08their hunt for the gunman responsible.
00:10Sources close to the investigation say the constable was parked near the powerhouse gym in Charleville when Singh was ambushed
00:17and shot dead on Tuesday, October 27th.
00:20According to a report entered in a Shugwana's police station diary obtained by The Express and TV6, the officer had
00:27stopped after experiencing mechanical problems with his vehicle and saw Singh walking along Carony Savannah Road.
00:33Moments later, the constable reported seeing Singh running onto the roadway while being chased by a gunman carrying what appeared
00:41to be a firearm.
00:42The officer reportedly heard Singh shout, followed by several gunshots.
00:47Once, unarmed and fearing for his safety, the constable drove away before alerting emergency services and notifying his shift supervisor.
00:57Investigators have since seized the station diary as evidence and the officer was among several witnesses questioned during the early
01:04stages of the probe.
01:06Despite extensive inquiries, no arrests have been made.
01:09Police believe Singh's killing was a targeted attack and are also exploring intelligence linking the murder to a suspected two
01:16-man contract killing team.
01:18Detectives are also investigating whether the suspected network may be connected to the murders of Coover businesswoman Kavita Deseran and
01:26customer Cheryl Dixon were both shot dead a day later.
01:29While police have not officially linked the cases, investigators said they are actively pursuing intelligence to determine whether the killings
01:37are connected.
