UTech mourns loss of executive assistant Tanya Ellis
published: Thursday | August 12, 2004

Gleaner Writer

THE TRUTH behind a person's death is usually the gateway used to assess the full extent to which one leads one's life.

"It is so easy to say the best things about an individual when they have died; however, all that I will have to say about Miss Alethia Bryce is nothing short of the truth," says Hector Wheeler, Corporate Communications Manager at the University of Technology (UTech). He spoke quite warmly about the great loss he says UTech will suffer as a direct result of the murder of Miss Bryce.

Other members of the UTech community were also very eager to mention that, Miss Bryce would have been instrumental in all plans for the university to move forward in its ultimate achievements.

The body of 30-year-old executive assistant to the dean at the Faculty of Arts at UTech was found with multiple stab wounds at her upper St. Andrew home on the morning of August 9. Her mother, Yvette Bryce, a 70-year-old retired school teacher, suffered the same fate as her daughter.

"These people have never been a problem to anyone. They are very quiet neighbours who politely go about their daily lives without being disruptive," said a resident of the Hope Pastures community.

GET-A-WAY VEHICLE

On Tuesday, the Constabulary Communication Network (CCN) confirmed that the get-a-way vehicle used by the killer, a blue Isuzu Trooper, believed to be owned by one of the victims, was found abandoned in the August Town area by the St. Andrew central police.

"We are investigating a good lead with regards to a suspect at present, but are unable to disclose any new information," said an investigating officer at the Matilda's Corner Police Station on Tuesday.
