A 38-year-old man tragically lost his life after seeking refuge in a stairwell, where he succumbed to his injuries.

“It’s deeply saddening to lose such a cherished member of our community,” expressed Ramadani. “He did not deserve this fate.”

She continued, “My heart is shattered, and the pain is overwhelming.”

Ramadani holds the health department responsible, asserting that their failure in duty of care contributed to her partner’s untimely death.

“I am seeking justice for my soulmate,” she declared.

She further stated, “Hospitals have an obligation to alert the community if someone leaves their care unexpectedly.”

Member for Granville Julia Finn said the attack needed to be “a catalyst for change”.

“We’re willing to listen and learn,” she said.

One week on from the attack, the Cumberland Council is now hoping to host a large public vigil to pay tribute to the three locals attacked.

“It’s important to see the brother for the last time,” Ramadani said.
