00:07A grief-stricken father, Sukraj Dewajit, as he recalled finding his only daughter's body on Tuesday afternoon.
00:1728-year-old Reshmi Dewajit, who lived next door to her father, along Tat Trace, Granville Village, Sidras,
00:24was discovered with what appeared to be stab wounds to her body, her throat slit, lying on her bed.
00:32Reshmi was last seen alive, liming with relatives' hair at her home around 6pm on Monday.
00:38But it wasn't until Tuesday around 6pm that relatives who came to check in on the young woman,
00:44that her lifeless body was found inside her bedroom.
01:20He says on Monday, a few relatives were relaxing
01:24and drinking alcohol at the home.
01:26Then Reshmi and a friend of the family, who had been staying at his daughter's home,
01:31left to go out the trace, and he later retired to bed.
01:35He never imagined what would happen next.
01:38Mr Dewajit says the suspect, who has not been seen since Monday,
01:43was always friendly, and they never suspected he was capable of such actions.
02:15He says his daughter was hard-working and would go out.
02:18out of her way to help anyone she met.
02:21She's most popular, he says, for her decorated background in community cricket,
02:27playing for clubs and winning many trophies.
02:29But to him, she was his right hand,
02:32willing and able to do everything with and for him.
02:43The TTPS is yet to locate the man who relatives suspect is responsible.
02:49But Mr Dewajit says it's not enough to jail people like the one responsible for his daughter's murder.
02:56Instead, he says, the government should resume hangings,
02:59as he believes it's the only way crime will stop in the country.
