The Webber and O’Malley-Kumar families had never met before 13 June last year. When they did, it was in the midst of unimaginable tragedy.
Surrounded by shocked students and with TV cameras trained on their expressions, the parents of Barnaby and Grace sobbed as they hugged one another at the vigil held for their children. A day earlier, while walking home from a night out, the 19-year-old students had been stabbed to death by Valdo Calocane.
