India Eve Chipchase was born December 24th, 1995 in Northampton, England to parents Suzanne Pointer and Jeremy Chipchase, and she had three younger siblings, Harry, Pia, and Lulu.

India actually loved having her birthday on Christmas Eve because she just loved Christmas and everything about that time of year. It was a special time of year for everyone and the family loved celebrating both her birthday and Christmas together.

She attended school at Pittsburgh School, an independent small private school in Northamptonshire before she went on to Northampton College where she earned a diploma in health and social care. Her professors and peers alike described her as being very hardworking, popular, sweet, and so caring. For quite some time though, she didn't really know what she wanted to do as a career

But shortly before her death, she had actually decided that she wanted to be a paramedic. And her parents were so proud of this decision. They knew that she would go on to make an amazing paramedic. She cared so deeply for others and was just a very vibrant and energetic person. Her mother said that the house was always so full of noise and chaos when she was in the house.

So, she had the perfect amount of energy and compassion to bring to that profession. But unfortunately, she never got the chance to be a paramedic and now that she's gone, the house is quiet. For the time being, India worked as a barmaid or a bartender, as we say in the U.S.,

at the Colling Tree Pub in East Hunsbury, and she had just recently started dating her boyfriend, Grant Hare, who she had only been with for three weeks. It's a little bit confusing because a lot of articles will say that she was actually dating a well-known New Zealand rugby player, Ivan Rehana. The two were high school sweethearts, but they had not been dating at the time of her death.

I'm not sure why they broke up or when, but it seemed like he still had a lot of love for her. He posted tributes to her on social media and said that he was dedicating his career to her. He said that she was now his motivation for bettering himself and excelling in his sport.

So even though the two hadn't been together at the time, things between them seemed pretty amicable and he still cared about her a lot. Now on January 29th, 2016, India had decided to go out with some friends for some drinks as she always did. At around 1130, she arrived at the NB's Cocktail Bar and Club on Bridge Street.
