Murdered teenager Rhiana Moore was an "upbeat young lady" who was committed to her faith, according to Glenn Blakeney, her constituency MP.

On Friday, the day before she was found dead, it is understood the 14-year-old had attended a youth church meeting sometime in the evening.

However, on Saturday morning the Police received a report of the teen's body in the mangroves of Blue Hole Hill Nature Reserve.

Police — who have yet to comment on the cause of death — were yesterday continuing to question a suspect in custody.

After he received the news on Saturday afternoon, Mr. Blakeney said he went to visit the family's home in Devonshire to provide what support he could for her mother, Julieann.

He said: "I didn't know her personally but I did visit the house. I just feel it was another young life lost with an incredibly bright future ahead of her. It's also so devastating for our community.

"My sympathy goes out to the family. Her mother said she was just a darling of a child and was looking to excel in everything she did.

"I know she was a very upbeat young lady who was very committed to her faith and regularly attended her church and was very loyal to her friends.

"One of her neighbourhood friends used to walk to school with her every day."

Those friends, family and schoolmates have come out in droves on the internet social networking site, Facebook, with two sites created on Monday afternoon in remembrance of the teenager.

One site 'RIP Rhiana' had 372 members last night leaving condolences such as: "Remember, 'Faithful, Holy, and Jesus is our God. God Bless you and may an angel of peace come through your family right now'."

The second group set-up by her cousin, Mickai Wainwright had 205 members last night sending their thoughts and prayers to the family and friends of the teenager.

According to Mr. Blakeney the S1 CedarBridge pupil was a keen student who was planning to visit schools that focused on international business studies next year.

She was also a devoted member of her Radnor Road Christian Fellowship as was her family, which Mr. Blakeney said must be helping them through this devastating time.

He added: "I thought the family was holding up very well under the circumstances and I believe helping them was the amount of faith they have.

"On behalf of myself and my family I would like to convey my most heartfelt condolences to the family for their loss.

"And to the community and parents who feel this loss. It's really, really sad."

As Mr. Blakeney was leaving the Devonshire house, Minister of Education Randy Horton called to give his condolences and, following the Dame Lois Browne-Evans church service on Sunday, the Premier and his wife Wanda Brown also visited the family.
