Husband weeps for murdered wife

“Why? Why? Why?” he asked repeatedly.

Savitri Mohammed, 54, was found by her husband last week with her throat slit at their home at Bonne Adventure, Gasparillo.

He told police he went to the bank and returned home to find his wife’s body. Robbery was ruled out as police said nothing was taken from the house. Investigators also said the house was not ransacked.

At the family’s home yesterday, Savitri’s cousins Terry Gabin and Visham Goberdhan delivered the eulogy.

Gabin said at an early age Savitri began her career in cosmetology.

He said she began working at a hair saloon and later started working a cosmetics store for 20 years. It was there she met her husband.

“They courted and then got married on April 4, 2004,” he said.

Savitri he said was also passionate about cooking and planting.

Goberdhan said that he remembered how loving and kind Savitri was to everyone she met. “She had a good relationship with family and community.

She loved nephews and nieces so much and they loved her also. I remember for Mother’s Day how she spent the day with her mom. It was her last Mother’s Day,” the cousin said.

Bhajans were also sung by family members at the funeral service which was conducted under Hindu rites. Savitri was later cremated at the Mosquito Shore of Peace. An autopsy showed the mother of two died as result of a single chop wound to her neck which almost decapitated her. No one has been arrested for her killing and Homicide Region Three are continuing investigations.
