Yesterday some 30,000 people marched through Melbourne to pay their respects to Ms. Meagher.

A 41-year-old man has been charged with her rape and murder.

The 29-year-old Louth woman was found dead outside the city last week after she disappeared following a night out with work colleagues.

Her mother Edith McKeon attended the march yesterday and read out hundreds of messages attached to flowers left for her daughter.

The organiser of the “peace march” was Philip Werner.

He told Breakfast here on Newstalk he was overwhelmed by the amount of people who came out in solidarity against violence.
