FRIENDS of a young mum police believe was murdered have united in a bid to secure her son’s future.
Pakenham woman Maddison Murphy-West’s friends have put together a major fundraiser to pay for little Noah’s education.
The Herald Sun recently reported on a case where a magistrate was told that a man suspected of murdering his girlfriend had an extreme addiction to ice.
A homicide squad detective told the court the suspect took ice immediately after murdering the young mother.
Maddy's mates make difference
THE death of young mum Maddison Murphy-West has exposed the tip of a family violence iceberg.
At a domestic violence rally held on Saturday in honour of the late Maddison, there was no shortage of mourners.
The event was organised by Maddy’s high school friends to raise money for her two-year-old son Noah, following revelations she was allegedly physically abused in the year before her death.
Kelly Murphy, Maddy’s aunt, said the fund-raiser was a silver lining in an otherwise harrowing period for her family.
“It’s put a smile on my sister’s face, which we don’t see very often,” she said.
There has been a lot of publicity about ice and its connection to brutal crimes in Vic recently.
Maddison was mentioned in one article about it by the Herald Sun from yesterday - snippet below was posted on the Justice for Maddy FB page.

Another article on 27th March alluded to Maddison's murder by an ice addict.

On my WS Calendar there was to be a court hearing for Troy Boothey yesterday, Wednesday, April 9, 2014....
I wonder if that hearing was held?
:waitasec:
ETA... I googled it... But found nothing...
I can't find anything about it either, Clue. Maybe something was in the local print edition of the paper? Wish we knew. Would really like to see this get put away for a long, long time.
Ohhh... I so want to see this put away for a very long time, too!
I looked back in my notes...
The April 9th court date came from this article:
[news.com.au 2-26-14]
Quote: "The matter will return to court April 9th."
I believe "the matter" refers to Boothey's access to Maddy's son... And does not refer to a murder court hearing....
HTH...:seeya:
THERE is one gift Paula Murphy would cherish more than any other this Mother’s Day — justice for the death of her daughter Maddison.
“There are other mothers out there who have to go through the same thing. He (Ms Murphy-West’s killer) is still not living in pain like the rest of us.”
The figure is this: every week a woman is murdered by her partner or ex-partner.
During 2012/13, there were 60,829 incidents where police submitted family incidence reports.
60,000 incidents in Victoria alone.
This is a rise of 21.6% on the 50,000 reports submitted the previous year.
Be that person that says something—again and again and again.
Because if we shrug our shoulders when a sex worker is murdered—or a wife is battered to death—then we're diminished as a community.
