Girl, 8, raped and murdered in Perth

Ok so these things happen all the time (doesn't make it right though) but what struck me when reading this piece of news were two things - the kid looks like my slimy, smelly, noisy Perthling Aquila and that it happened in my lovely Perth.

Gaa!

Here's my summarized excerpt of the news article.

Perth - An eight year old girl was raped and murdered in the public toilets of Canning Vale shopping mall on Monday afternoon.

The naked body of Sofia Rodriguez-Urrutia-Shu was found sprawled on the disabled cubicle floor in the female toilet by her 14 year old brother, police said.

Police later arrested part time shop worker 21 year old Dante Wyndham Arthurs at his parents' home nearby.

He appeared in court yesterday charged with wilful murder, deprivation of liberty and unlwaful sex penetration and was not required to plead. He's remanded in custody until July 11.

Ms Brooke McCaffree, 22, who works as a shop assistant at a gift shop next door to the toilets, said she was "absolutely disgusted".

"I just don't understand how this could happen, we live in a nice suburb. The fact that I was there serving customers as this was happening in the next room is just diabolical."
