AFC is deeply saddened by the passing away of Brenda Pereira, Secretary, AFC Communications and Media Department, and her husband Gerard Lopez Robert Lopez.
She was 43 years old and her husband was 44.
Pereira joined AFC in 2007 and worked in the AFC Marketing Department before moving to the AFC Communications and Media Department.
Pereira was known for her quick wit, organisational skills and devotion to the well-being of AFC. She was a popular member of the AFC Family.
Her last major AFC event was the 23rd AFC Congress here in the Malaysian capital in May when she assisted the media with the accreditation formalities.
The couple are survived by three sons.
AFC extends its sincerest condolences to the bereaved family, relatives and friends.
BERNAMA STORY ON BRENDA'S FAMILY
A taxi driver and his wife were found slashed to death at their unit on the 22nd floor of the Impian Sutera Condominium at the 6.4km Jalan Gombak this afternoon.
The couple were identified as Gerard Lopez and Brenda Lizabeth Pereira who worked as a secretary at the Asian Football Confederation in Bukit Jalil.
Lopez, 44, whose body was found in the living room, sustained slash wounds on the wrists while Pereira, 43, who was found in the master-bedroom, had a slash wound in the abdomen.
The bodies were sent to the Kuala Lumpur Hospital mortuary for post-mortem.
Sentul police chief ACP Zakaria Pagan said Pereira's older sister and brother found the bodies after forcing open the main door of the unit when a strong stench emanated from the premises about 2pm.
He said a police team found a blood-stained machete at the unit.
"We are waiting for the rest of the post-mortems to ascertain whether the couple were murdered or otherwise...we suspect they have been dead for the past 48 hours," said Zakaria, adding that initial investigations revealed that no intruder had attacked the victims.
He said the couple were survived by three children aged between eight and 18, who were staying with Lopez's sibling. -- BERNAMA
