Murdered Diego Martin woman Gabrielle Raphael was laid to rest after an intimate funeral among a small group at Covigne Road Extension, Diego Martin on Friday morning.

Raphael, 24, was found dead near the Peschier Cemetery in the Queen's Park Savannah on May 8.

Almost a week later, relatives positively identified her.

Her father, Anthony Castillo, said the last time he saw his daughter was when she left home to take her one-year-old son to his father in Maraval.

An autopsy on the body showed that the mother of three was raped and strangled.

On Friday, a few friends, family and residents gathered for a short farewell ceremony inside the basketball court in the heart of the community.

Some nearby residents also viewed the funeral from their porches and windows.
