An overwhelmed, distraught mourner, understood to be a close relative of 53-year-old murdered attorney Taradath Singh, broke down in uncontrollable sobs beside Singh’s flower-adorned dark wooden casket during his recent funeral, recounting that he had repeatedly warned the legal practitioner that hostile parties were closing in on him. Clasping his head in his hands as he gazed down at Singh’s remains, the mourner wailed publicly through tears, “I talked to you, brother, I begged you. I told you they were coming. You’ve broken this old man’s heart.” He went on to laud Singh’s sterling professional reputation, insisting no local lawyer matched his genuine, unselfish dedication to his clients, before stumbling away from the casket past crowds of other grieving attendees, a parked hearse, and a marked police patrol vehicle stationed outside the service held at Singh’s Penn Trace, Enterprise home. The casket was decorated with vibrant red roses, alongside clusters of white and yellow blooms, while a large memorial banner emblazoned with Singh’s portrait hung on a nearby exterior wall to honor his memory. Singh was gunned down in a brazen targeted attack shortly after leaving the Power House Gym at the intersection of Caroni Savannah Road and ASJA Avenue in Charlieville at 6:25 p.m. last Tuesday, roughly one month after his BMW vehicle was shot at while he was arriving home. Dressed in a blue coverall, a masked assailant approached Singh and opened fire multiple times; the attorney managed to run a short distance toward the nearby ASJA compound before collapsing, and was pronounced dead minutes later. Singh’s brother Percival, who officiated the funeral service, shared a deeply poignant final voice note that Singh recorded just days before his death, in which he reflected on the universal ups and downs of human life, urged struggling loved ones to stay resilient through hardship, and prioritized collective peace, joy, and mutual love over calls for retribution. “Life is a mix of joy, sorrow, crying, and pain — it is all part of the package of living and dying. No hard moment lasts forever. Stay strong, enjoy each day, love the people around you, and work hard,” Singh stated in the recording. Percival emphasized that his brother had clearly sensed the looming threat against his life, made peace with his fate through his Christian faith, and intentionally left the message to guide his family and community rather than demanding justice for himself. He called on attendees to honor Singh’s legacy by practicing forgiveness, and urged the unknown perpetrators to seek repentance for their crime. During a press conference held the day after the homicide, Deputy Commissioner of Police Suzette Martin confirmed that active investigations were underway for both the fatal shooting and the earlier September 28 attack on Singh’s BMW, but declined to share details on potential suspects or possible links to Singh’s active legal caseload, citing the sensitive, early stage of the probe. WPC Mohammed of the Homicide Bureau of Investigations remains the lead officer assigned to the case. Following the emotional home funeral service, Singh’s remains were transported to and interred at the Waterloo Cremation Site.
