A close family member of Sofia Munoz, whose lifeless body was discovered on September 27, says the 24-year-old was liked by many.
“She was a lovely person, everybody liked her … she was a young lady… a beautiful lady, she was stuck in a relationship. At this moment, all that is gone. There is nothing that we can do,” Munoz’s relative, who requested anonymity, told reporters.
The deceased young woman had been living in Saint Lucia for three years.
She resided in Cap Estate and was an intern at the Saint Lucia Animal Protection Society (SLAPS).
On Friday, Munoz’s body was discovered in a pool of blood in a bathroom in Monier, Gros Islet, bearing multiple stab wounds to her mid and lower back area.
“To tell you the truth, the last time I saw [her] was on the morning of Thursday, September 26, and after that I never saw her again,” Munoz’s relative said, adding, “at this moment, we don’t know what happened.”
A statement released by the Saint Lucia Fire Service revealed that a 24-year-old male was also found alive on the scene with multiple puncture wounds and lacerations to his upper body.
He was treated, then transported to a medical facility.
Munoz’s family is waiting for authorities to carry out investigations to determine what exactly happened.
“The only thing I can tell you is the people who are here with us were so, so, so, so kind and I only ask to pray for [Sofia]. That’s all that I ask to all of you, to keep praying for her, and thanks for all the support and all the help that you are trying to give us.”
