The family of a young water polo coach murdered inside a gymnasium bathroom last week have visited the Sydney school where their daughter’s life was taken. Lilie James, 21, suffered horrific, fatal head injuries just before midnight on October 25, with her ex-boyfriend and colleague Paul Thijssen, 24 suspected to be responsible.
“I made a commitment last week that the horrors of this situation would not define our community and I thanked you for partnering with me. I remain unwavering in that commitment,” she said. “What I could not have envisaged at the time was the sheer strength of the partnership that would be offered from students, staff and parents. “Thank you, sincerely. Whilst I have no words that adequately express my thoughts and feelings about the incident, I am deeply grateful for your response.
