Cum Laude grad murdered
Coral Gables to settle
Communication student beaten to death by Detroit millionaire BY RAMON GALIANA NEWS EDITOR
Having graduated, it seemed that her future would be bright. On March 11, Diana Demayo, a Cum Laude graduate from the School of Communication last December, was beaten to death by millionaire Peter Dabish in his own downtown Detroit apartment. Just after the incident, Dabish called Detroit police to report that Demayo had just suffered an overdose. He was eventually charged with first degree murder and torture. "She was a dog lover to the end, and a people lover,” said Linda Demayo, Diana’s mother, according to FoxNews.com. “Very bright, very beautiful, and I can hardly believe she's gone.” Demayo’s dog, which she adopted during her first year at UM, was discovered with blood stains on its coat. She graduated Demayo with a Bachelor of Science in advertising and psychology, with a minor in business law. According to her family, Dabish had been taunting them with offensive phone calls about a week before he turned on Demayo. He then allegedly called the family when Demayo was in the hospital to communicate more obscenities, according to the Detroit Fress Press.
