Sumanta Bansi’s parents react ‘very emotionally’ to the new developments in the search for their daughter’s body. Their lawyer, Maartje Schaap, informed NH Nieuws.
There seems to be a breakthrough in the four-year missing case of the Hoorn student after suspect Manodj B. – who was sentenced to fifteen years in prison last summer – suddenly revealed more this morning about where he would have dumped Sumanta’s body.
B. did so at the urging of his new lawyer, who has pressured him to end the years of uncertainty for Sumanta’s family. Manodj B. then told where Sumanta’s body would lie. A major search followed, in which it soon became known that human remains had been found.
Family very emotional
Sumanta’s family follows developments closely.
Sumanta’s parents are very emotional about the new developments. They say they are anxiously awaiting the developments in the investigation.
After all these years, the family mainly hopes for clarity. Sumanta’s mother Sharmila made a very emotional appeal to suspect Manodj B. in court last summer and begged him to finally talk about what he did to her daughter.
