"We all cry, we're heartbroken." Cassius Turvey's family hold a candlelight vigil in his honour.

Content warning: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers are warned that the following story contains images of deceased persons. This story also deals with murder, which may be triggering for some readers.

Cassius Turvey's mum has spoken about the pain of losing her son at tonight's memorial vigil in Midland, Perth. 

Mechelle Turvey said to ABC News that she wants the vigil, and others planned around the country this week, to bring about change not generate further hate in the community. 

Cassius died on October 23, 10 days after he was beaten while walking home from school with a group of friends. 

A man has been charged with his murder, and charged with aggravated assault occasioning bodily harm, allegedly toward a 13-year-old boy who was present when Cassius was allegedly attacked. Police haven't ruled out further arrests against other possible attackers. They believe four people were inside the ute at the time. 

The 15-year-old's death sparked a wave of grief and frustration, with leaders in the Indigenous community highlighting senselessness of the attack and calling for greater condemnation from wider Australia.

A family-led candlelight vigil took place at Midland Oval in Perth at 5:30pm WA time, with thousands reportedly in attendance.

Community leaders led the candlelight vigil, and a traditional smoking ceremony also took place.

"We all cry, we're heartbroken, I get so angry. But all this stuff in between is just so healing for our mob and our community, black and white," said Cassius' mum, Mechelle Turvey to NITV.

At the vigil, Mechelle also said to media that she hopes to put the money raised from Cassius' GoFundMe back into the community and go towards preventing a crime like this from happening again.

"My son was an amazing young boy. We have lots of amazing young people in our community - Black, white and brown. I want to tell those children not to be fearful and that you can still walk the streets," she said to 9News.

The disaster occurred as a huge crowd celebrating Halloween on Saturday night surged into an alley in a nightclub area, which is popular among young people, expatriates and travellers, in Seoul.

More than 153 people were killed, including 97 women and 56 men. More than 80 per cent of the dead are in their 20s and 30s, but at least four were teenagers. At least 20 of the dead are foreigners including one American and others from China, Russia, Iran and elsewhere.

An evacuation order remains in place at Echuca along the Murray River and residents in flood-affected communities have been warned of a gastro outbreak due to contaminated floodwater.

Across the border in NSW, more than 1000 homes and businesses have been damaged by the floods so far.

Severe thunderstorms could develop across the state this afternoon and evening, with peak gusts of up to 90km/h.

From the pandemic shutdowns to the post-pandemic staffing issues, and industrial action on our streets - teachers have had a rough couple of years. 

Among an endless stream of negative news, there remain masses of incredible people dedicating their lives to classrooms and shaping the minds of young Australians - our future leaders. 

After National Teachers Day last week, we're reflecting on what it takes to cut it in the classroom, and speaking to Australia's best and brightest.
