As we told you last night, Felina James' boyfriend, BDF officer Albert Stephen Moreira was charged for her murder. James had been with him for 3 years and they share a 2 year old son together. We spoke to James' aunt today about their abusive relationship and how it ended in murder.
Lydia Bolon, Aunt
"I was overjoyed, I was happy that we came to a closure now. The person behind all of this who did this to my niece and her children and I can really now say that my faith in the police department is restored."
Reporter
"As you said you weren't as surprised, because he was abusive to her. He had threatened her before."
Lydia Bolon, Aunt
"Well I learnt about all of that after her death and then I put pieces together - maybe this could have led to what happened."
Reporter
"At this point you don't know what could have led him to murder Felina?"
Lydia Bolon, Aunt
"That's very hard to say at this time. I still don't know and like it's still hard to accept she is gone and maybe by and by we would know - what led this to the murder of my niece and I just hope that the police will continue their investigation, their work."
Reporter
"Maybe it had something to do with money issues?"
Lydia Bolon, Aunt
"That's what some people are saying who were more closer to them that see them on a daily basis or maybe weekly. They always had this up and down arguments. I think it was money. I think it was relationship."
Reporter
"Had Felina ever tried to reach out to any family members at all?"
Lydia Bolon, Aunt
"No, she had never told us that if she was being abused or she was having hard times or she was not happy. Anytime she would visit my house on occasions she never told me anything about it. What can we do now? She is gone. We are left to heal which will be a long time. It will take time if it will ever healed. But as I see her children grow it will be a memory brought back every time I see these children and I just hope that the children can always be in contact with each other."
