More than 100 candles flickered in the dusk, as the Christian community and locals of other faiths held a prayer march in solidarity and support for slain Carol Misquitta. The walk took place late Sunday evening after mass, starting from St Francis Xavier’s Church burial ground to St Braz Road, Vile Parle where Carol’s residence is. Carol, 28, went missing on January 24. Her body was found in Palghar on February 4. 

Fast track trial

Though Carol is no more and both young men have been nabbed by the police, those who marched through the streets on Sunday evening still say they want ‘justice’. “We do know that two men have been caught... We also want the trial to be fast tracked. I give a timeline of one year,” said activist Godfrey Pimenta who was at the march and was heartened by the number of persons who participated. "We all kept some distance and were masked, observing protocols. This show of strength, solidarity, and anger towards an initial investigation where many things fell through the cracks, was important. This is not just one person saying it, the sheer numbers that were present illustrates this was the overarching sentiment,” explained Pimenta.
