When a young comedian left her gig in Melbourne, she was delighted with how well it had gone. As she began the route home, a route she often walked, the unthinkable would happen. People would be left in shock, at a crime that was referred to as “totally and categorically evil”.

Emotional patterns vary dramatically from person to person. You can compare all you want- but in reality, who you are has absolutely NO bearing on the inner workings of someone else's state of mind or being. In addition to that there are too many factors that weigh on what drives a person to do such a deed.

The part of this despicable event that really shocked me is when he told his father about his actions, saying that he didn’t enjoy the brutal attack and “felt like shit afterwards,” but hoped the next time would be better! WTH!?! He not only felt completely comfortable sharing what he had done to this beautiful girl, he openly admitted to planning to do it again but hoping for a more positive outcome. I can’t help but think his father had a similar psychopathy and had shared it with his son, which might explain why his son felt secure enough to discuss his vicious & violent attack on a innocent young woman!

I'm tired of people trying to make a case for why they should get a short sentence or no time at all just because mental illness is involved (and I have mental illness!). In my opinion, if someone has the kind of mental illness that would have experts believing they had diminished responsibility, well, that person _clearly_ shouldn't be on the streets to risk reoffending. I hate robbers and the like, but at least they might not reoffend if their life situation improves. Someone mentally ill (with an incurable illness or an illness where people can neglect treatment) should be monitored all the more.

That's why I wasn't the least bit surprised that the cops got flak just because they were advising women to take responsibility for their safety which we should because whether we care to admit it or not we are more vulnerable to these kinds of horrific crimes.

Annita Coby's murder is still one of the worst in Australia but ones like this aren't far off being as horrific. I send so much love to her family and friends.

Both ladies were confident, accomplished, much loved and had many, many friends. Their attackers however, lacked any recognizable substance as human beings. The nature of human beings makes it unlikely that we'll ever have a society free of danger to women or each other. It's a flaw unique to us. RIP Eurydice and Jill ♥

I’m from this part of the world. I can’t stress enough the anguish we felt as a country for Eurydice, just as we did for Jill. And, the collective shame & guilt. We failed Eurydice in the most catastrophic and unforgivable way. Our criminal justice system is run by the criminals- judges, lawyers, & offenders alike. A little timeline just of the 2010’s of stranger murders against women which we had here in Australia (not a comprehensive list) •28 June, 2014. 32yo Renea Yukling Lau of Hong Kong was rap ed & murdered on her way to work in the morning, in Melbourne CBD. A homeless man was convicted & sentence to 33 years. • 17th March, 2015. 17 year old Masa Vukotic was stabbed 49 times to death, in a park in Doncaster. Sean Price selected her at random. He had planned to kill someone. He said he chose Masa because she stopped on her walk & talked to the birds like Snow White- this was normal for Masa. She really was like a real life Snow White. She lived with wanderlust, an innocence. She was very academically gifted & planned on becoming a lawyer. Masa begged for her life. People found Masa & desperately performed CPR, just like with Eurydice. Paramedics tried in vain. Price is a diagnosed sociopath & sexual sadist. From 2002, he’d been convicted of murder, rape, & armed robbery. He’d in fact been convicted of a disgusting 200 criminal convictions. He had met with his parole officer the day prior. For months they had documented his rapid deterioration, & rhetoric discussing a hatred for women. After killing Masa, Price immediately then went on a spree, including car jacking, robbery, and breaking into a Christian bookshop & rap ing the woman working in there. • 5 June 2017. A receptionist in a brothel was held hostage & murdered, and another lady working as a sex worker was also held hostage by Yacquab Khayre in Brighton, Melbourne. Police classify it as terrorism. • 13 June. Eurydice is murdered. • 16 January, 2019. *_Aya Maasarewe was on her way home from a comedy club in North Melbourne when she was ra ped & murdered_ Cody Herrmann was sentenced to 36 years imprisonment. • 25 May, 2019. *_Courtney Herron was murdered in Melbournes Royal Park_* . Courtney longed to one day become a social worker. At the time she was facing many struggles, & was homeless. She met a fellow person who was homeless, Henry Hammond the day prior. She had been kind to him, & paid for his dinner at a restaurant. A few hours later as they walked through the park, Henry Hammond bashed Courtney to death with a tree branch over an utterly horrific 50 minute attack. He was found not guilty due to Schizophrenia, & sentenced to 25 years in a psych hospital. This list is not comprehensive. Some murders receive extensive coverage. Others are treated as a mere footnote- particularly if victims are homeless, women of colour, etc. One thing we see is that these guys always have prior history. The greatest predictor of future behaviour is relevant past behaviour, especially if they have a pattern. Victims are completely lost to the system. They’re harmed or killed twice over. First, when they’re attacked or murdered. Then again in the criminal justice system when their voice is taken from them. They’re blamed for their own demise or assault. _She was walking home alone. She was drunk. She was wearing a short skirt. He was working as an escort. He was using tinder to meet a stranger_ On, and on, and on. I can’t imagine the horror and anguish for all the ancillary victims- the person to find Eurydice and give CPR to an asphyxiated, nude- and dead - young woman. The paramedics- of whom ours are amongst the very best in the world, and had no chance in saving Eurydice. But they tried anyway. The police. The forensics. The pathologist. The family liaison officer. The staff at the pub/comedy club. The last patrons to watch Eurydice perform. Eurydice fought for her life with everything in her body, everything she had. Ultimately Eurydice was not only fighting that man, but the entire justice system to fail her, without her ever even knowing. I can’t fathom the anguish, grief, guilt that her boyfriend feels- a guilt which is not his to carry. I hope he feels pride for loving Eurydice in the way that he did whilst she was here, and the way e he will continue to love Eurydice for the rest of his life. The pain of her beloved boyfriend and family, all of Eurydice friend- of which it’s clear Eurydice had more than most of us can imagine. And the colleagues whom cherished her so. The police’s message was important- but very poorly delivered. Ultimately, we _do_ need to be educated on how to keep ourselves safe. Why? Because our justice system will not ensure that we’ll be kept safe. It will fail us- again, and again, and again. Just like the criminals it is supposed to convict- the greatest predictor of future behaviour is relevant past behaviour. And we see, so clearly, what that relevant past behaviour looks like in our criminal justice system. Thank you for how you covered this. You really captured the collective grief we felt as a nation, especially for Victorians. Ballarat only has a population of 100,00. And 10,000 of their residents showed up to March in Eurydices honour. 10% of their city. That speaks volumes of the impact & outrage we felt as a community. But Eurydices Dad said it so perfectly. It’s clear where Eurydice got her incredible nature, heart, compassion from. What a beautiful family. It really shows the mix of nature & nurture. The offender grew up in trauma, neglect, squalor. Eurydice grew up with trauma. But she clearly also grew up nestled in the most beautiful, nurturing, kind, empathic, & generous family. We all have choice. And Eurydice chose to live her life as a beacon of love. I’m so inspired by this. We remember Eurydices life, not her death. And what a life she lived. I’ll carry Eurydices message with me. I’ll be a better friend, daughter, sister, global citizen. Thank you, Eurydice. The world is such a better place for having you in it, and I am so sorry that you were taken far too soon. May we all carry a little more love, a little more light, a little more laughter with us. A little piece of Eurydice in our pocket, making the world a little bit better. My love to Eurydices partner, Dad, siblings, friends, colleagues, and fans. We remember Eurydices light.

I have a student who is only 8 and he hits me and other students when he makes a mistake in a drawing he wants to do. All the students have to move. I stand my ground and he hits. I have warned the parents that this can only get worse, he shows no empathy until he needs something then he starts talking to me and being friendly. It’s a cycle where his anger gets out of control and there is a victim. He completely understands what he is doing and what he has done but he doesn’t care. I only see a bad future for him and anyone close by because nothing is being done to curb this behaviour. He also has complete access to KZbin and the internet. He has an obsession with death. I do fear for his future victims. So. Some autistic people are exactly like him or will be. It’s no excuse. He deserves life in prison.

Criminal Law is extremely important. If you win a case with a client that you *think* actually did it, then you either won because there wasn’t enough evidence to convict them which is a good thing as a court must have enough evidence to convict all people. Or the law was violated in some way by the police, which means you’re ultimately defending rights in general, not just theirs. The fact that Miranda Rights exist is due to a criminal defence lawyer defending a rapist. The entire court system is built on precedents that make it a fairer system for us all. If one person has to get away with a crime for everyone else to have a fairer court, then IMO that’s worth it.

The grief was more than I could handle at the time. My mind wouldn't stop still. Not for any waking moment. I took ages to settle down but the grief has never left me. I came face to face with her rapist/ murderer six years later. He was free after such a short time and my grief came back. I confronted him and promised to kill him as soon as I was sure I would get away with it. That was twenty six years ago. He took what I said seriously and vanished overnight. Grief for my beautiful friend still claims me today. I miss her terribly every time she comes to mind.

One evening a man followed me in a similar manner. I noticed him and managed to hide and get home safely, but I still wonder how you will pass by a random woman and decide that she is vulnerable and weak enough to take advantage.

Probably when she took off her shoes entering the park, sadly. Many people who are drunk will take off their shoes, and she likely was distracted by her cell phone. Of course we know that she was not intoxicated at all. Many will target women who don't seem aware of their surroundings as well. Carry something on you if you can, visibly, that can be used as a weapon; when alone always, appear vigilant (look around you all the time), and appear very confident in your body posture. And it's a good idea to take self-defense classes.

Rest in peace Eurydice. So very sorry.

It's less about sexual needs than it is about power and control and degrading the victims. Normal human beings masturbate, they do not rape and kill. There are professional sex workers they can see, but often they are raped and murdered too because they are seen as "easy prey". And this fat prick had a girlfriend - many of them do. Many rapists are married.......One in NZ for away with raping little girls under 12 for years....when finally caught the cops found out he had committed another rape 4 days after he got married, while still on his honeymoon - and he was a Jehovahs Witness who married within the church......

This channel consistently creates such professional videos always presented in such a compassionate and empathetic manner. I appreciate how you cover cases that may not be well known from all over the world. As someone from Melbourne this was so shocking because she was so typical of a young person of this city simply coming home from a night out in a way that was standard for many of us. With a network of trams to easily get around, inner Melbourne is generally pretty safe although of course, as women, we are also always conscious that, unfortunately, we could at any time fall victim to some depraved individual.

Before people jump down my throat, my children are Autistic, I am Autistic, and I work with Autistic people.

I was kind of irritated by the grief that the police got for pointing out the risks of walking alone in the dark.

How is it victim shaming and why do so many take this offence. Yes we ALL should be able to walk safely but the reality is it is not always safe to do so. No one can predict when and where an evil being is going to attack, sadly it can happen anywhere at any time to anyone, men women and children. But knowing that we do have a responsibility to keep ourselves safe and avoid wherever possible that may put us at risk. It's pointless blaming police for giving the only advice they can give, they are not super heroes with a 6th sense that can zoom in on perpetrators and come flying like superman and stop things happening. They are just ordinary people in a uniform.

`I will never be responsible for what happens to me'' sounds a bit worrisome. Please take some martial-arts training! I am not blaming you for being a woman, but as a woman who got a black belt after being lucky enough to survive some stuff, that's my story. I am not blaming the antelope by being gotten by a lion, but to say evil does not exist is like saying the lion doesn't exist. She was playing a high-risk game, walking alone in a city at night after a public performance. Fate intersected her path with a predator, but she was exposed to a lot of people in her audience, too. Who knows, maybe this guy had even seen her before and predicted she could be walking home then. I have done this behavior myself; at least, when I was visiting New York City I did walk around at night alone, but not completely alone, like in Central Park. I was with window-shopping crowds, the crowds watching the ice skaters at Rockefeller Center, and such. She seemed to be doing this walking thru the park in the dead of night as a routine. I have even hooked up at a club and left with a strange man, but when I got weird vibes from him, I just ditched him on foot. Which of course put me at the mercy of the ``jungle,'' but, like I said, I've been lucky.

I agree with your every word, but the reality is that predators will be around for a lot longer than we'd like. Meanwhile, we women need to care for each other's safety. I'd rather give my last dollars to a friend to get a taxi, rather than have her walk home through isolated spaces. Or arrange a lift. There are martial arts schools set up with women's situations in mind. This is not accepting responsibility for what might happen, but proactively countering the intentions of a would-be predator. Nor is it portraying women as victims, it is women showing themselves to be strong-minded and smart.
