It has been ten years since eight-year-old Sofia Rodriguez-Urrutia Shu was strangled to death and sexually assaulted in a Perth shopping centre.

It was considered one of the ‘most evil’ crimes Western Australian police had seen, with officers and lawyers reportedly claiming it was the worst murder case they had encountered.

Despite the pain Sofia’s family has endured since the horrific crime, her father told News Corp that he has no anger or hatred.

Gabriel Rodriguez told News Corp that his family had chosen to focus on remembering his daughter, not what happened to her on June 26, 2006.

Dante Wyndham Arthurs, who was 21 at the time, followed Sofia into a shopping centre toilet.

He then strangled the little girl to death and sexually assaulted her.

Sofia’s body was found on the bathroom floor after Arthurs fled the scene.

“She was an absolutely gorgeous, normal girl,” Mr Rodriguez said.

“We don't have anger in our family.”
