IN LOVING MEMORY OF 11-YEAR-OLD LUKE BATTY (20 JUNE 2002 TO 12 FEBRUARY 2014)



           On this date, 12 February 2014, 11-year old Grade 6 school boy Luke Batty was bashed with a cricket bat and was stabbed multiple times at his local cricket practice in Tyabb on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria was murdered by his father Greg Anderson, who was later shot dead by Victoria Police. Anderson apparently committed the crime as retribution against ex-wife Rosie Batty. The crime attracted both national and world-wide attention.

            We, the comrades of Unit 1012: The VFFDP, will make him one of The 82 murdered children of Unit 1012, where we will not forget him every year on February 12 and June 20. Let us remember how he lived and not how he died. We will always support his mother, Rosie Batty and his loved ones. Every year on June 20, we will remember how he lived on this earth as it is our policy to also remember the victim on his or her birthday.

            We will also endorse The Luke Batty Foundation. Please go to this previous blog post to learn more.
