The grief-stricken family of a “beloved” New York City artist found brutally murdered in a swanky Hamptons spa and resort expressed their devastation Wednesday — as they begged for help finding her killer.
Sabina Rosas, 33, of Brooklyn, was found dead in a guest room at the high-end Shou Sugi Ban House in Water Mill on Monday, according to police — who have yet to detail exactly how she was murdered.
“We are devastated by this senseless loss,” her family said in a statement obtained by NBC4 as they urged anyone with information to come forward.
Mystery still surrounds the young artist’s death, with cops so far only saying she was a victim of violence.
Her family described her as a “beloved daughter, sister, fiancee and friend.”
“As the eldest of three daughters, Sabina brought excitement, adventure, joy and love to our family,” they added.
“Your support during this challenging time is a testament to just how special Sabina was and will remain.”
A heavy police presence has remained at the celebrity-loved resort ever since a spa employee discovered Rosas’ body at about 12:30 p.m. on Monday.
Suffolk County police haven’t divulged yet what brought her to the $1,000-a-night spa.
Rosas, an artist, appeared to live somewhat of a nomadic life, according to online profiles.
She was part of the nonprofit Harvestworks’ 2021 Technology Immersion Program and had been crowdsourcing cash to attend an artist residency in Portugal next month, a GoFundMe page shows.
Locals, meanwhile, were still coming to terms with the mysterious murder.
“It’s just so uncharacteristic of this area — and that area in particular,” Jean Wong, 56, told The Post on Tuesday.
“It’s very ironic, because you go to a place like that for relaxation and comfort. What could have brought on a murder?”
“I drove by earlier and saw these news trucks and thought, ‘Uh oh, what did Justin Timberlake do this time?’ because the only thing newsworthy that happens here has to do with celebrities,” Lisa Stach, 43, added.
“This is obviously not the sort of town that gets many homicides, so it’s very shocking. I feel terrible for the victim and her family,” she continued. “It makes you think if you’re not safe there, where are you safe?”
