VIDEO: Sunday's tribute to Stephanie Scott:
I lived in Canowindra til I was 13 years old. My father was the main butcher in Blatchford street for many years. I have been quite emotional over the death of Stephanie Scott. How such an awful crime could be commited to such a vibrant young girl is beyond comprehension. This death and the manner of her death has affected me emotionally. Canowindra does not need such needless death. Canowindra will always hold a special place in my heart, growing up in a very small knit community. My heartfelt sympathy goes to the Scott family and especially to her fiance. Canowindra residents will rally around them and look after them - Michelle Lindeman, Coniston.
