At the B.C. Supreme Court in Kelowna on Tuesday, testimony painted a chilling picture of Teljwant Danjou’s state after the alleged beating and killing of Rama Gauravarapu.
Two nurses, one paramedic and one police officer were called to the stand.
All four testified that he was calm, collected and responded politely to every question asked of him.

A nurse, Justina Warezek, said she treated Danjou the night of the alleged murder. She said he was not very talkative, “calm and collected” and “followed all my directions with no problems.”
Another nurse, Jennifer Yamaoka, in the cardiac ward of the hospital, treated Danjou as well. She testified that he was emotionless and expressionless during the time she spent treating him.
Yamaoka also said she didn’t see any visible signs that Danjou was in mental distress.
