WINNIPEG – The father of a slain Winnipeg woman said his daughter wanted to live alone and further her academic studies while she worked.
Police found the body of 23-year-old Catherine Gastador in a suite at 828 Preston Avenue just after 5 p.m. Tuesday.
Her father, Ed Gastador, said Wednesday she died from a stab wound to the back.
Gastador said he last saw his daughter at a family party in March. He described her as a "very ambitious lady."
Catherine Gastador reportedly lived on the fourth floor of the condominium building, which is known as the Rothesay. Her father said she lived alone.
Neighbours said Gastador had lived in the building for about three years and was often seen walking a small, white dog. She was also frequently seen with a male friend in the building, a neighbour said.
Gastador’s profile on the social-networking site Facebook indicates a local law firm was her employer, although a post from a friend in mid-March congratulated her on her new job. A company spokesperson for Fillmore Riley, a local law firm, said Gastador worked there.
A lone police cruiser was parked outside the property Wednesday morning. Police said they are interviewing a number of witnesses in connection with the case.
No arrests have been announced by police. The homicide unit is investigating.
