My heart is in a million pieces

My heart is in a million pieces

Warning for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers: this article contains references to and images of someone who has died.

Emotions ran high as Australians across the country gathered to remember a five-year-old girl who was allegedly murdered in the Australian Outback.

"My heart is broken into a million pieces," said a statement from the girl's mother which was read out at the candle-lit vigil at Alice Springs, near the Aboriginal town camp where the family lived.

"She was my little princess. My princess who loved the colour pink. She loved Bluey and K-Pop Demon Hunters," the statement added.

The body of Kumanjayi Little Baby, as the child is now called for cultural reasons, was found on 30 April days after she went missing from the camp, sparking an outpouring of shock and anger across the country.

"I want you to know how I am having trouble knowing how I can repair my heart and knowing how I can live without my little baby," added the statement from the child's mother, which a speaker recited at the Alice Springs vigil, held at the Anzac sports oval around sunset.

She talked about all the things the five-year-old loved: the colour pink, puppies, playing on her mother's phone, the children's cartoons Bluey and Masha and the Bear.

"I ask, as I move through my grief. Let's look up to the night sky and find the brightest star where Kumanjayi Little Baby is, now in heaven. And I ask everyone to take care of your little ones," said the statement.

Outside the Old Timers Camp, where Kumanjayi Little Baby went missing on 25 April, there was a growing tribute of flowers, cuddly toys and messages in front of the chain link fence on Thursday.

One read "Our hearts break when we heard you were gone." Nearby, a large painted pebble was left, painted with the message "May justice be done."

Knitted koalas, cuddly toys, candles and cards were also piling up. Every so often, a car would stop along the busy road and another mourner would step out - some had come to read the tributes and reflect, others to add to the sea of pink gifts.

Vigils were also held in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Darwin, Canberra, Adelaide, Brisbane and Hobart, as well as many other smaller towns.

Attendees showed up in pink clothes and listened to speeches from members of the Indigenous community.

In Sydney, 16-year-old Alinta Quayle took to the stage to read out a poem she wrote for Kumanjayi Little Baby. "Our people are like seeds," she said. "Our stories and memories will continue to grow no matter how deep into the soil you bury us."

Kumanjayi Little Baby was last seen when she was put to bed just before midnight at the camp - a site set aside by the government for Aboriginal people to stay in when in Alice Springs.

She was reported missing several hours later, prompting a large-scale search for the child, who was non-verbal.

Police found her body several kilometres from the camp five days later. Hours later, Lewis - who had been attacked by community members - was arrested and taken to a hospital in Alice Springs for treatment.

A riot erupted outside the hospital, with police later arresting five people over the violence.

Kumanjayi Little Baby's family called for calm amid the unrest.

Family member and senior Yapa (Warlpiri) elder Robin Granites called for the public to allow justice to take its course and to show respect for the family as it observed "sorry business", a period of collective mourning within Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

On Wednesday, three child protection workers were stood down after an investigation into the circumstances leading up to Kumanjayi Little Baby's disappearance and death.

Using the name of deceased people, as well as broadcasting their image or voice, breaches cultural protocols around mourning in many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and cannot be done without the permission of their families.
