Slain Shallcross woman was 'humble, free-spirited'
A close friend of the family of Demisha Naik, says the 23-year-old will be remembered as a bubbly, talented young woman.
Naik worked with her mother at a popular beauty salon in Chatsworth.
Richlee Soobramoney says the two were best friends.
"She was her mom's everything and pillar of strength. She was a very free-spirited woman - always laughing and enjoyed socialising. When you needed her, she was there for you. She was humble, and straightforward - if she didn't like something - she'd tell it like it is."
Naik was found dead in her flat in Jamaica Heights on Tuesday afternoon. She'd been stabbed in the forehead.
The suspect wanted in connection with her murder was also found dead in a home in Chatsworth, yesterday afternoon.
Police have opened an inquest docket in relation to his death.
