Vigils for Cassius
Thousands have gathered across the country to remember 15yo Indigenous boy Cassius Turvey, who died after sustaining injuries in what PM Anthony Albanese said was a racially motivated attack in Perth’s suburbs last month. ‘Justice for Cassius’ vigils were held in more than 40 cities and towns yesterday, and there will be future events – including in New Zealand and the US. WA’s Police Commissioner Col Blanch said police were “exploring all options for charges” against a 21yo man. Blanch also spent time with Cassius’s mother Mechelle, who said she felt “very satisfied” after the meeting. In a speech read out at the vigils yesterday, she said she is “overwhelmed and eternally grateful” for the support the family is receiving.
