Oscar Hamilton's family say they are 'broken to pieces by a senseless act', after a 15-year-old was charged with his murder.
The family of a teenage boy stabbed to death in a Melbourne food court say their world has been "shattered" by the "senseless act".
The altercation became physical before the younger boy allegedly produced a knife and stabbed the older boy, who has been identified as Oscar Hamilton, multiple times before he left the scene towards High Street."Today our world was shattered," the statement said. Detective Senior Sergeant Nigel L'Estrange from Victoria Police said Oscar had been dropped off at the shopping centre by his mother earlier that morning."As you can imagine, this is an absolutely tragic and senseless act that has occurred here in school holidays in an area where there's going to be lots of kids attending and a lot of people around."
Woodgrove Shopping Centre manager Kylie Robertson said it would work with police to bolster security.
