Excellent article!
It is almost as if the victim was living the life that the accused aspired to, but was sidelined by mental illness and the troubling and bizarre, imo. aspects of RB's upbringing?
According to an ex-boyfriend of Rohinies, life at home was tightly controlled, and she grew increasingly resentful of her parents, especially her father, a devout Hindu with a conservative parenting style. The ex, whom Ill call Geoffrey, agreed to be interviewed on the condition of anonymity. He says Rohinie told him she ran away from home when she was in her early teens. Two days later, a truck driver picked her up and brought her to the police. Some time after that, her father, fed up with her behaviour, took her to a Hindu healer for what he considered a cleansing ritual. Rohinie was made to remove her clothes in front of her father and have chicken blood poured on her.
