"For the past few months we have had to relive the moment we were told a despicable human being took the lives of our much cherished sister-in-law Christine, and our beautiful niece, Amber.
This has been an emotional roller coaster for us and while today brings some form of closure, the loss of our loved ones will always remain with us.
We want to thank the Police, particularly those who have worked tirelessly on the investigation from the outset. The work they have done has been sterling and we are grateful for their efforts as well as the support they have given us.
The outpouring of generosity and support from our family and friends has been incredibly humbling. Thank you for being there for us through those days where it seemed like there was no hope. We cannot express enough the gratitude and admiration we have for you all.
We do not wish to comment any further and ask the media to respect our request for privacy."
