TEACHERS at San Fernando East Secondary say Form Three student Mariah Seenath, who was found murdered in a bushy track in Ste Madeleine on September 20, never wanted to be separated from her two younger siblings.

Mariah lived with her father Marlon Seenath, but she would spend nights at her grandmother's house nearby. It was while walking through the track after leaving her school uniform to soak at her father's house, that she was attacked and killed. The autopsy showed she died from blunt force trauma.

Despite the squalor of her living conditions, teachers say Mariah, 13, was always a bright spark, shining on the school's football team and in the Drama Club. She also did not let the obvious poverty she came from limit her goals.
