The family of 12-year-old Adriel Moxey who was strangled, raped, and killed last month, are preparing to bury her on Saturday.
The funeral will be held at the church she often attended to find solace, Restoration Kingdom Ministries, not far away from where her body was discovered through a track road off Faith Avenue.
Police still have not confirmed whether or not the suspect in the case is the person responsible for the brutal crime. Authorities said they are still awaiting a doctor’s clearance to question a 34-year-old man who is a patient at Sandilands Rehabilitation Centre.
DNA samples from the victim and the suspect were sent overseas for testing, but police have not yet confirmed if it was completed or whether or not the results matched.
However, police believe they have the correct suspect because of injuries on his body and based on the intelligence they gathered.
Adriel was described as “a light in all of our lives.”
“Her radiant smile could brighten the darkest days, her clever wit brought endless laughter, and her outgoing nature made her a joy to be around,” a family member said.
Soon after the incident, the family launched a GoFundMe and raised $4,522 which they hoped would cover the funeral and memorial cost.
