UK: Fitting tribute to teenager who was robbed and killed in Australia
The father of a teenager who was murdered while travelling in Australia is setting up a fund to help other young people see the world.
Nineteen-year-old Caroline Stuttle, from York, was robbed and killed in the town of Bundaberg, Queensland, while travelling around Australia before going to university. Now her father Alan, 64, says he is planning to sell his art gallery in York and travel the world, before he sets up a fund that will allow young people to do the same.
The online news service Ananova quotes Mr Stuttle thus: “I just want to be able to say to some art student who, say, needs £500 to go and paint in Florence ‘There you go – so and see the world’. If somebody has got a plan but can’t do it because they are short of brushes or something simple like that, then that’s the kind of thing I’d like to help with.”
