The inscription on the memorial bench opposite the bus stop where the 18-year-old woman was grabbed by her killer is heartfelt and devastating: “In loving memory of Bobbi-Anne McLeod,” it says. “Shine Brightly Our Angel.”
The teenager’s relatives have left a heart, a bear and a butterfly next to the bench with messages of love and loss. A magnolia tree with deep purple flowers has been planted in McLeod’s memory on the verge and friends have scattered roses in the grass.
