SEVERAL mourners dressed in their cricket uniforms raised their bats in a final tribute to prominent Cedros cricketer Rashme Deoajit during the funeral service for her yesterday.

Deoajit was found murdered at her Granville, Cedros, home on Tuesday. An autopsy listed her cause of death as blunt force trauma to the head and strangulation, a relative told the media. It was initially suspected that she had been stabbed. Police believe the 28-year-old was killed mere hours before her body was found by a family member.

She was cremated in cricket wear at the Shore of Peace at Mosquito Creek, near La Romaine.
