维多利亚州小镇Donald为13岁女孩Layla Jeffery举行了公开追悼会[1]。这名于2013年在Shepparton出生的少女于7月4日最后一次被看到，7月5日被报失踪，警方随后于7月9日在Richardson River附近发现了她的遗体[1]。一名16岁男孩因涉嫌谋杀该女孩已于7月11日被控[1]。
追悼会吸引了数百名悼念者参加[1]。参加者被要求穿着黑色连帽衫或携带Hello Kitty物品来纪念Layla[1]。作为悼念的一部分，人口仅1400人的Donald镇的粮仓被点亮粉红色[1]。该案件原定于周五在儿童法院出庭，但已推迟至8月底进行[1]。
The small town of Donald in Victoria, Australia, gathered to mourn Layla Jeffery, a 13-year-old girl whose death has prompted a murder charge against a 16-year-old boy [1]. Layla was last seen on July 4 and reported missing the following day, with police discovering her body near Richardson River on July 9 [1]. The youth was charged with murder on July 11 [1].
Hundreds of mourners attended a public memorial service on Friday, where attendees were asked to wear black hoodies or Hello Kitty items in tribute to Layla [1]. In a striking display of community solidarity, the town's grain silos were illuminated in pink to honor the teenager [1]. The murder case, initially scheduled for a Children's Court hearing on Friday, has been adjourned until late August [1]. Donald, a town of approximately 1,400 residents, has been profoundly affected by the tragedy [1].
