“We cannot blame anyone, we just put her in the hand of God,” she said. “All we can do is live in peace ... to try and find some peace.” Christopher Bell, 32, of Cowes, has been charged with Ms Angok's murder. He was Natalina's partner, her sister has told The Age. Natalina Angok. Wiping back tears of anger and sadness, some of Ms Angok’s family demanded the government act to stop young Sudanese people from being killed. “I want this sent to the government. We didn’t bring our children here to come and die,” said another of Natalina’s aunts, Monica Aleu.

Addressing the crowd, she raised her hands and cried out: “Why, Australia? Why do you do this to us? Why, Australia?" As she began to weep, other women from Ms Angok’s family gathered to comfort her.

Loading University student Alice Brewer, 20, organised the vigil, hoping to ensure Ms Angok, an African woman, was mourned in the same way as other, white, women. "I just wanted to show the media and the world that Natalina was just as special and important as the other women we’ve lost this year and that her death shouldn’t be erased," she said. Many in the crowd were furious that another young woman’s life had been lost on the streets of Melbourne. “It’s too many f---ing women,” said vigil attendee Grace Clearly.

“When I heard I felt defeated, disappointed, angry ... it’s just way too many.” On Thursday, Ms Angok's sister Helena told The Age Mr Bell had been in a relationship with Ms Angok for more than a year before her body was discovered on Celestial Avenue in Chinatown about 6.30am on Wednesday. "She was a loving and caring sister, and a down-to-earth person, not a troublemaker. She loved everybody, even if someone did something bad to her, she would just talk and laugh with them." Ms Angok was an aspiring dental nurse, and had been studying dental hygiene at RMIT. The vigil ended after paramedics had to be called after several women collapsed on to the concrete in Celestial Avenue, overcome with grief.

More than 50 people attended a vigil on the steps of parliament on Friday evening, the same day Melbourne Magistrates Court held a brief filing hearing for Mr Bell. Both vigils were organised by Melbourne women who were disturbed by the killings of other young women in the city and determined their lives would not be forgotten.

The organiser of Friday's vigil, Jess Gleeson, also helped arrange vigils for slain international student Aiia Maasarwe in January and aspiring comedian Eurydice Dixon last year. She said Friday’s gathering was one of about a dozen she had organised since February. “We believe that every woman’s life is important, and we refuse to accept that these women’s deaths are inevitable,” she said. These efforts come as Ms Angok's family try to raise money to fly her body to South Sudan for a "final tribute by her father and relatives who have not seen her in years". On Sunday morning, the fundraising efforts had raised about $16,000 of the $40,000 target.
