"organised raves" <--- too many drugs? I know some really bad burn out cases from that scene... Chemical psychedelics, all kinds of brain-damaging substances. In the 90's, it was a HUGE drug culture. It still is, from what I can see.

Well I'm rather relieved he's been caught. Such a random vicious attack. It's kind of eerie that there is nothing about her identity, but I realise the family may not have been notified yet.

Also saw this article about him -

I think that the family have been notified. Maybe they have requested that her identity be withheld - if it is not necessary to name her in the media? It is hard to know what other cultures prefer - particularly when the victim was brutally sexually assaulted.


"Detectives have been in touch with her family in China to confirm her identity."

ETA: This article says that some of her family are flying to Melbourne to formally identify the victim. I guess they may release her name after that?

I'm so sorry Renea. :rose:
 
She sounds like a lovely person:

A 32-year-old woman who was raped and killed in Melbourne's Royal Botanic Gardens has been remembered as a 'beautiful friend and colleague'.

Devastated colleagues who worked with pastry chef Renea Lau at a dessert bar in Melbourne's inner-east have told of their grief, The Age reported.

Ms Lau is a Chinese national from Hong Kong and moved to Australia in 2012.

Ms Lau's violent death had evoked a display of grief from people who had never known her, but felt compelled to visit the site of her death.

Strangers left flowers and cards underneath a tree just metres away from where the body was found. "Our city grieves with you and for you," read one card.
"Although I didn't know you I will think of you every day as I pass this spot," read another.

A man arrived with a bunch of flowers and said he didn't know the woman, but felt compelled to pay his respects.

It's so sadly similar to the Eunji Ban and Sophie Collombet murders in Brisbane :facepalm:.

What is with these men??!!:banghead:

(I know, I know....drugs, mental illness etc. It's still just SO awful - there's no excuse for them killing these women)

The man accused of raping and murdering a pastry chef as she walked to work has never before been in custody, the Melbourne Magistrates Court heard on Wednesday.

Police allege Mr Miller twice raped Chinese national Renea Lau, also known as Yuk Ling Lau, before killing her.

Mr Miller, dressed in prison greens with his sandy hair tied back, was further remanded in custody by Magistrate Duncan Reynolds for a committal mention October 24.

Interesting, how do they know she was raped twice? I hope this is not a case where he never stands trial because of his psychosis. He would then be sent to Thomas Embling forensic unit for 7 years and if he is then deemed to be safe to the public would be allowed out. JMOO

Mr Miller, a Californian-born man who has been living on Melbourne’s streets for at least two months, stared straight ahead as he was formally remanded in custody to reappear on October 24.

He has been charged with one count of murder and two counts of rape.

Dressed in a green long-sleeved T-shirt, he looked bewildered during the short hearing and yawned several times.
