00:0074-year-old Chandra Juri, a mother of four and grandmother of six, lived alone here along
00:07St. Fabian Road, Gasparillo. Her husband, a quarry owner, was beaten to death eight
00:13years ago. On Tuesday, one of Juri's brothers visited her. He told TV6 News he left his
00:20sister in good spirits liming with neighbours around 1.30pm. She had plans to go out with
00:26one of her daughters. However, he says, while still in the Gasparillo area, he got a devastating
00:33call. According to police reports, when the mother did not pick up her daughter on time
00:48and calls went unanswered, the daughter and her husband went to the home just after 3pm.
00:54Juri was discovered by her daughter with a wound to the front left side of her neck, lying
01:00in her bed, still alive and gasping for air. She died at the scene shortly afterwards.
01:07That is very, very, very bad. Very bad. People had no love again. Now it's hate. If you tell
01:15somebody something and they don't like you, that's it. Crime. Looking to kill her. This
01:23girl didn't do anything. They had done nothing wrong. You know, look where they come and kill
01:28the girl inside her bedroom. Friends and relatives say Juri was a kind, loving lady who lived good with
01:36everyone and was well loved in the community. She has three children living abroad and she had a flight
01:43scheduled for Friday to visit them. That is a real something to think about. Once one is them,
01:52she was going away. And I don't know if they think she had money with her. Because when they went up
02:01there and they kill her, they only take her bag. They take her bag. The phone was in it. And they run with her.
02:10Christmas. She was going to spend her whole month. She had set her little grandchildren there.
02:15And they waiting for her only to go shopping to buy things for the house,
02:20you know, and everything. And they were very disappointed. Very, very disappointed.
02:25Investigators say later that afternoon, the murdered woman's phone was found in the washroom of a nearby bar.
02:33They're yet to establish a motive for the killing as their investigations continue.
