Simms autopsy inconclusive

Tissue samples have been sent for further tests which hopeful would shed light on how Simms died.

The autopsy was conducted by Pathologist Dr Eslyn Mc Donald-Burris at the Forensic Science Centre in St James.

Simms’ body was found in a shallow grave in Santa Flora on Wednesday, four days after she went missing.

Simms left her home to go to a job interview. She was last seen at a restaurant having lunch with a man who is now in police custody.

Yesterday, Simms’ relatives demanded justice. “He should be hanged! He is a monster who should not be allowed to live,” relatives of 25-year-old Simms said.

Simms’ aunt Jennifer Hamid said the family has not been functioning properly since the discovery of her body.

“How can one function? Nadia did not deserve this. She was an innocent girl who had her entire future ahead of her and was robbed of life by this monster,” Hamid said.

“She believed this man would help her find a job. She was fooled by this man. We had hoped and prayed she was alive and would walk through that door back to us. It hurts so much...it is hard for us to come to terms that she is now gone forever,” Hamid cried.

On Wednesday, four men hunting iguanas in the forests off St Clyne Road in Santa Flora came across the shallow grave with sections of Simms’ body protruding from the loose earth.

The suspect, a 31-year-old man remains in police custody
