Britney was an entrepreneur and businesswoman who ran her own bar ("Bar da Britney", or "Britney's Bar").

She was shot at the door of her own bar in the early hours of 3rd June 2018. Police were called by witnesses who heard gunshots, but unfortunately she died at the scene.

A dear person who would not have the courage to do bad to any animal, I had many years of friendship with Britney and know her how good her heart was. I can only hope that justice will be done, that the criminals will pay what they must pay, for a life in truth has no pressure or even a penalty which can absolve them of the terrible act which they have committed.

Rest in peace, my dear friend. You will forever stay in my memory and how important you were to my daughter. I love you. -- Polyana
