Woman Knew Her Killer

Woman knew her killer
Wednesday, January 16 2013
RELATIVES of murder victim Lorna Cheryl Adams are convinced the 50-year-old woman knew her killer. Adams’ body was discovered at about 8.30 pm on Sunday by one of her children on the floor of her Sundarsingh, Aranjuez home. She was stabbed several times.
Speaking at the Forensic Science Centre, St James yesterday, Adams’ youngest child Keisha, explained that the family believes her mother’s killer was known to her (the victim) as very little had been taken from the house and there were no signs of forced entry.

“We think the person had to have known my mother. My mother was a person who always used to lock up her home tight, especially at night or when she was alone. From what we have gathered from the police and what we saw ourselves, there was no sign of forced entry,” Keisha said.

“Which means the person who killed her walked in the home and knowing my mother, that meant the person was allowed in. I wasn’t there, so all these things I don’t know for certain, but it seems most likely,” she added.

Keisha described her mother as a kind and compassionate woman, who used to enjoy dressing up and going out.

“She was the best mom. She was always there for us and always had advice for us. Keep in mind she always used to pick up on us if we ever got out of hand and sometimes we would have disagreements arising out of that, but that was nothing unusual. That was her being a good mother and looking out for her children,” Keisha said.

Investigations are continuing.
