She said Albert was his pillar recalling the last conversation she had with him before he passed away,” when we last spoke while he was at Central Police, I was the last person he talked to. His words were, ‘I love you, see you soon.’ I didn’t know those would be his last.” she said.
Nevniah said the death of her husband has left her and the entire family with great pain asking authorities to take action and make sure those involved are brought to justice. ”I wouldn’t wish the pain we’re going through on anyone. I urge the police to treat everyone fairly.” she said.
The grieving widow however said he will be strong for her family that is what Albert could have wanted.
She said ” I will always be here for us, for our son, for mom, for dad, for you uncle and for everyone, they are looking up to me the way they were looking up to Albert.”
