Exclusive: A devastated daughter is pleading for justice after her mother’s body was found abandoned near a Victorian highway over the weekend.

Eva Lasrini’s daughters, Adeline and Vanya, anxiously awaited her arrival at Denpasar Airport last Wednesday, expecting her on a scheduled flight.

“I kept asking, ‘Mum, are you coming to Bali or not?’ but there was no reply,” Adeline shared with 9News.

“We waited until midnight, and my mother never appeared.”

The body of the woman from Dandenong was discovered beside the Princes Freeway in Little River, located south-west of Melbourne, on Saturday.

Her former husband, Allen Keys, has been charged with her murder.

Eva’s daughters alerted Keys when Lasrini failed to turn up in Bali, but he allegedly claimed he was overseas.

“Allen say “I don’t know. Nothing with me. I don’t know where is your mother. I am in Kuta right now’,” Adeline claimed.

Posts on Keys’ Facebook after Lasrini was reported missing on Thursday showed him with another woman in Bali, saying he was having a “nice night”.

But detectives swooped on the 67-year-old at Melbourne Airport on Friday as he went to board an international flight.

The 53-year-old mother of two had just got her learner’s permit and had been working in a warehouse to raise the funds to bring her two daughters over from Bali so they could attend university in Australia, Adeline revealed.

“My mother is strong, beautiful and so loyal with her family,” Adeline told 9News.

Police are yet to reveal exactly how and when they allege Lasrini was killed.

Their case will become clearer when Keys returns to court in August.

A GoFundMe page has been set up to help Lasrini’s daughters get to Melbourne.

“Maybe after that, I can take my mother home,” Adeline said.
