The deceased’s family member, Tarry-Ann Kennedy also addressed the murderer in a Facebook post on Tuesday.

“How do you as a woman take another woman’s life, how do you as a mother take another mother’s life Don’t you think of both of y’all’s kids going to lead down there? As a mother, how do you think of all the consequences that will follow after you commit the kind act? My heart bleeds for you too because your children are leading just as hard down there. The Lord forgave the murderer, so we as humans must also forgive you, but how are you going to live with the murder you committed every day? That is a punishment that you give yourself first and forever.” she wrote.
