Meanwhile, messages of condolences flooded social media following news of the incident.

Maureen Valmond wrote “ Vel Babes,  In our last call, I told you how much I love you. When we met, you told me how much you love me and proud of me. I told you I can’t wait for the day you become Dr Velma Valmond. And you replied “But you have to become Dr Maureen Valmond too”  I will miss our calls. I will miss the impromptu moments in our discussions when I would ask-“So Vel, which side do you want? The professional Maureen or the dramatic Kahina” and you would say “Both, because I love both sides” and we would laugh.

Others say they will remember her as a young and hand working woman who always had a smile on her face.

Police are investigating the matter. This is Dominica’s 17th homicide for the year
