Jill did not die in vain, says Melbourne mayor

The decision by murdered Jill Meagher’s husband, Thomas, to return to Australia “took a lot of courage”, his mother Joan said.

With her husband Kevin, she welcomed the visit of the mayor of Moreland, Melbourne, to Ireland.

Mayor Oscar Yildiz told the Meagher and McKeon families yesterday that Jill “did not die in vain”.
