One of the daughters of a mother-of-five allegedly murdered at a Perth hotel says she can’t stop crying.
A 42-year-old man has been charged with murder of over the death of Fijian woman Vitorina Bruce at the Quality Hotel Ambassador Perth yesterday.
The 40-year old had only moved to Australia six months ago, to support her family in Fiji after separating from her husband.
She was the sole breadwinner for five children.
Her daughter Seremana Tikoilautoka told 9News from Fiji she wished her mother was still alive.
She last spoke to her on Saturday but didn’t know it would be the last time, she said.

“Just to hear her voice one more time or just to see her face,” she said.
“It’s hard for me. I can’t stop my tears.”
Bruce was working in hospitality, and sent her money home for her children, including two sets of twins.
Her family is launching a fundraiser to get her body home.
The 42-year-old was refused bail and is due to appear in Perth Magistrates Court tomorrow.
