‘Mi wah ask why him kill her’ - Missing teacher’s family questions suspect’s motive

A mixture of disbelief, grief and pain are just a few of the emotions that are rocking the loved ones of Danielle Anglin, the 29- year old teacher whose remains were believed to have been found by the police on Monday.

THE WEEKEND STAR spoke with one of Anglin's aunts who said the thoughts of her niece's possible last moments haunt her.

"Mi just a picture what happen and mi would want to ask him [the suspect] what she do why him do that to her, because I know she didn't do anything to him or anyone. Mi wah ask him why him kill her, strip her and throw her away naked like a dog. I am wondering if someone else was there with him. Mi just a imagine how she begged for her life. A wicked man dat," she said.

Anglin, of Hellshire Park, Portmore, St Catherine, was reported missing on May 14 by her parents after she did not return home or make contact with them. On Monday, a body believed to be hers was discovered in Salt River, Clarendon. Deputy Commissioner of Police Fitz Bailey revealed that a suspect, who is currently in police custody, had picked up Anglin from her home on May 13.

Anglin was affectionately called 'Sister' by her loved ones. Her aunt said she last saw her on Teachers' Day and was looking forward to spending the following weekend with her.

"She helped my son with PEP and she always carry him with her when she travelling overseas. This summer she was suppose to take him up. She was a good girl and like a daughter to me," she said.

Anglin's disappearance has also affected her little cousin who is afraid to venture outside without company. She said that when she got the news that the police had discovered a body that is believed to be that of her missing relative, her legs gave way.

"Mi drop a grung and all now mi pain up. A mi sister mi a bawl for too because mi a wonder if she hear anything too. Mi find her at one of her church sisters and when mi tell her, she hold mi and start bawl and say nutten nuh guh suh," she said.

The woman said she is imploring the loved ones of missing persons to never stop until they find closure.
