Mourners will honour the life of Israeli student Aiia Maasarwe by carrying flowers while riding the 86 tram to the Bundoora site where she was murdered early on Wednesday.

It's one of a number of memorials that will pay tribute to 21-year-old La Trobe University student who was killed on her way home from a comedy show.

Pia Cerveri is helping organise the Keeping Silent Vigil on the steps of Parliament House on Friday night. She said it was a small action that would be the beginning of a series of demonstrations.

Aiia Maasarwe was killed near a tram stop in Bundoora, in Melbourne's north.

"I think it helps to be together at times likes this," she said.
