Durban socialite Roseanne Narandas claims to be "fully aware" of where her murderer son‚ Rajiv Narandas is. But she’s not saying where he is."I am fully aware of where my son is and so are the authorities. That is all I can tell you‚" she said on Wednesday evening.However‚ police‚ the National Prosecuting Authority and the Department of Correctional Services were still unavailable to confirm that they were‚ in fact‚ aware of Rajiv Narandas' whereabouts.Narandas‚ convicted of the 2008 murder of 32-year-old Veenand Singh outside Shoukara nightclub in Sandton‚ was ordered to hand himself over to Westville Prison last week to start serving a 15-year sentence after his Constitutional Court application was dismissed.However‚ the notorious socialite apparently disappeared.His mother‚ who fuelled speculation that Narandas had fled the country with a WhatsApp status and profiles picture‚ said she would respond to all questions relating to her son's whereabouts on Friday."I can't tell you if he is in prison or not. I am sorry if I appear to be difficult but I can only respond on Friday‚" she said on Wednesday evening.A newspaper report on Wednesday claimed that Narandas underwent surgery for a hernia on Friday and was discharged from hospital into his mother's care on Sunday.It quoted a correctional services source saying that KwaZulu-Natal authorities had no authority to incarcerate Narandas as the crime and conviction occurred in Gauteng.The source claimed that Narandas was expected to travel to Johannesburg on Thursday to obtain a court order to be imprisoned in KwaZulu-Natal.TMG Digital/The Times..
