Nighisti Semret

Nighisti Semret was 55 years old and originally from Eritrea. She worked for Andorra Building Maintenance, a company that had the contract to clean the Delta Chelsea Hotel. In Canada only two and a half years, Semret supervised the staff of 11 on the midnight-6:30 AM shift. On October 23rd she was walking home from work. It was raining – she was carrying an umbrella. She was only a few yards from her home at the Women’s residence when she became victim to a vicious, unprovoked attack.
