'Such a bright
bubble of joy': Tributes flow for Bourke Street victim Jess Mudie
-
Tributes have
poured in for a young Sydney woman tragically killed during Friday’s Bourke
Street massacre.
Excited about the year ahead, Jessica Mudie, 22,
was visiting Melbourne’s CBD when her life and four others were cruelly taken
by a crazed maniac who allegedly mowed down dozens of pedestrians during a
violent rampage.
Bereaved family and friends left touching tributes
for the young insurance broker consultant as they try and come to terms with
her “incomprehensible passing”.
"To our dearest and most badass
daughter and sister, Jess, you will always be a part of us and are one of the
strongest people we know,” her
family wrote in a statement.
“We
are constantly inspired by your love for everyone around you and the lengths
you will go to for the people you love.
“We
love your extravagant humour, the fact that you always laughed at your own
jokes and your ridiculous names for everything.
“You
are always up to do everything and are such a bright bubble of joy.”

A devastated country joined Ms Mudie's loved ones
in grieving over the weekend, with Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull just one of
thousands heading to the scene of the crime to remember the fun loving blonde
and the other four victims.
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews announced a vigil
at Federation Square would take place at 5:30pm on Monday.
“All Australians are with you, people of Melbourne,
people of Victoria, in your grief. We are with you in solidarity,” he said.
Meanwhile,
murder accused Dimitrious "Jimmy" Gargasoulas, 26, is likely to face
charges soon after allegedly leaving five dead and two more fighting for their
life.
The alleged
driver of the red Holden Commodore had surgery on Saturday for a gunshot wound
he sustained when police brought his rampage to an end.
As well as Ms
Mudie, Thalia Hakin, 10, Matthew Si, 33, a 25-year-old man and a
three-month-old baby all lost their lives during the Friday attack.
After it was
revealed Gargasoulas was released on bail at the time of the Bourke Street
tragedy, Victorians sparked their outrage at the leniancy showed and demanded
reform to the state's bail laws.
"Our
police members at time have expressed frustration in relation to bail related
matters... our state coroner she will be conducting a review," Victoria
Police deputy commissioner Andrew Crisp told Sunrise.
He went on to
defend the actions of the police officers involved in Friday's ordeal after it
emerged police had been pursuing Gargasoulas for some time before he allegedly
ploughed through pedestrians in the CBD.
Deputy
Commissioner Crisp said Victoria Police were still waiting for the go-ahead to
interview Gargasoulas but expected initial interviews to take place on Monday.
