Daughter: Why kill mummy for money?

Last Saturday, Dorothy Hosein’s body was pulled out from a pond and her limbs had been tied with a piece of rope behind her back.

The body was facedown in the pond on an aqua farm at St John’s Road, Rio Claro.

An autopsy report revealed she was beaten to death with several injuries to the head.

A police report stated she was murdered shortly after withdrawing $10,000, three months worth in pension, from the bank.

Police had been exploring the possibility she may have been liming with her attacker who may have known about the money.

They are seeking close circuit television footage from nearby businesses to aid in their investigation.

Ali recalled her mother’s life during the funeral at Christ the King RC Church in Piparo. She said her mother was a “sweet woman who was loved by the community”.

Even as she called for justice, Kelvin Dass, the lay minister who presided at the service, urged Ali and her two siblings to move beyond seeking revenge and ask God to help them forgive their mother’s assailant.

“To seek justice is right, but we need to move from just wanting revenge because that would not make anyone better.

“Jesus gave us a remedy for the pain free of charge and, that remedy is forgiveness,” Dass said.

Dass said the family, in order to avoid becoming bitter, should ask for God to give them the grace to help them to forgive whoever took Hosein’s life.
