Two weeks af­ter she was charged with mur­der­ing her daugh­ter sev­en years ago, Alana Mathu­ra has died.

Ac­cord­ing to po­lice, the 63-year-old was tak­en to the Er­ic WIlliams Med­ical Sci­ences Com­plex on Thurs­day night and died ear­ly this morn­ing.

Po­lice said since she was re­mand­ed in cus­tody, Mathu­ra re­fused to eat and fell ill as a re­sult.

On Oc­to­ber 15, Mathu­ra and her hus­band An­drew, 66, were charged with mur­der­ing their daugh­ter Han­nah Mathu­ra.

An­drew and Alana, both of Bu­tu Road, Val­sayn, are ac­cused of mur­der­ing their 18-year-old daugh­ter on a date un­known be­tween Ju­ly 8, 2017, when she was last seen alive, and March 13, this year, a day af­ter her skele­tal re­mains were un­earthed in the back­yard of the fam­i­ly’s home.

Han­nah’s bones were ex­ca­vat­ed from the back­yard of her Bu­tu Road, Val­sayn home on March 12. In­for­ma­tion giv­en to the po­lice by a fam­i­ly mem­ber was that Han­nah died and was buried in the back­yard in June 2017.

Her par­ents were ar­rest­ed short­ly af­ter her re­mains were found but lat­er re­leased pend­ing fur­ther in­quiries be­fore they were re­ar­rest­ed last month and sub­se­quent­ly charged.

DNA tests done on the bone mar­row and bi­o­log­i­cal tis­sue-like car­ti­lage re­main­ing from de­com­posed skele­tal re­mains were cross-ref­er­enced with Han­nah’s sib­lings to con­firm that they are re­lat­ed.
