Rel­a­tives of Avanelle Abra­ham are strug­gling to come to terms with the cir­cum­stances sur­round­ing her mur­der in Ch­agua­nas on Sun­day, while urg­ing the pub­lic to be more dis­cern­ing about the com­pa­ny they keep and the peo­ple they trust.

Abra­ham, 38, of Lange Park, Ch­agua­nas, was shot in the head and thrown from a car along Maraj Street in Mon­trose, Ch­agua­nas, around 4 pm. She had been em­ployed with Massy Mo­tors in Pi­ar­co but was on sick leave at the time of her death.

An au­top­sy at the Foren­sic Sci­ence Cen­tre (FSC) in St James yes­ter­day con­firmed that the moth­er of a 15-year-old boy died from a gun­shot wound to the head.
