When Melbourne woke to hear one morning that a homeless man had been be killed, murdered by a young, drug-addled man who came from privilege and private education, we collectively and publicly mourned a man we didn’t know.
Easton Woodhead, a 19-year-old graduate from Melbourne Grammar brutally took Morgan Wayne Perry’s life in 2014.
At the time, much was written about the senseless murder of Morgan Wayne Perry, better known to those around him as Mouse. But as the years passed, the public slowly forgot.
Michelle Perry has not forgotten. Because the day she lost her brother was a day she began a fight. A fight to not only find out what happened to her brother, but a fight to make sure that just because someone is displaced, and just because someone may not have a roof over their heads, does not mean their voice is any less worthy.
Watch Michelle meet some of Mouse’s friends on Australian Story. Post continues after video.
On Australian Story tonight, Michelle told of her pain at finding out her brother had been murdered in such a violent and abhorrent way.
