Alibava came to New Zealand to pursue a Master of Agribusiness Management at Lincoln University. She recently completed her degree which was posthumously awarded at a graduation ceremony in May. She was married to Abdul Nazer Ponnath Hamsa and worked part-time as an intern at Lincoln Agritech and at Kmart Riccarton. “The life Ansi and I had together, the plans we made, the family we hoped to build here, all vanished in a moment of senseless anti-immigrant rage,” Ponnath Hamsa said. Alibava was from the southern Indian state of Kerala. She was outside the Masjid Al Noor. Friends said she was bubbly and loveable.
