Two suspects, including the manager, have been arrested and are currently being interrogated over the crime. 

 Family members words: "The suspects killed her because they wanted to collect all the money made from sales in the company since last week. We understand she normally makes deposits into the company’s bank account every Tuesday, being the accountant of the company."
