| Rosimeiri Boxall |
A SOUTHAMPTON
brother has spoken of
his grief after his
younger sister fell to
her death from a third
floor window.
Alex Boxall spoke after his
19-year-old sister Rosimeiri
died of injuries suffered in the
fall. Two girls arrested over
the death of the teenager have
since been released on bail.
Rosimeiri Boxall, from
Thamesmead, in south-east
London, was taken to hospital
by ambulance after she was
found beneath an open window
at 6.30pm on Saturday.
The Metropolitan Police said
the teenager was pronounced
dead at the Queen Elizabeth
Hospital at 7.21pm after apparently
falling from a window in
Coleraine Road, Blackheath.
Alex, 26, a Hampshire police
officer who lives in
Southampton, said: "The loss
of Rosimeiri, a much loved sister
and daughter, has left a
void in this close-knit family
that cannot be filled.
"Rosi was adopted but she
was our daughter and sister.
She was a loving, caring person
who brought frequentlyremembered
times of fun and
laughter to the family and who
was much loved by her three
nieces.
"More than just a daughter
and sister, she was also a great
friend who will be missed.
"We appreciate everything
the police are doing in investigating
this tragic incident and
we would appreciate if our privacy
could be respected."
A Metropolitan Police
spokesman said: "Two females
aged 13 and 17 arrested in connection
with the death of
Rosimeiri Boxall in SE3 have
been bailed to return to a
south London police station in
June."
The incident is being treated
as a suspicious death but is not
a murder inquiry.
The spokesman said a postmortem
examination yesterday
gave the cause of death as
internal injuries. Witnesses
can call Lewisham police on
020 8721 4961 or Crimestoppers
on 0800 555 111.
