On this day one year ago, their worlds fell apart.
“The memory of how that night unfolded is as clear and as painful as if it happened yesterday,” recall the family of Constable Josh Prestney, killed alongside three of his Victoria Police colleagues on Melbourne’s Eastern Freeway.

“As hard it was to lose Josh, harder still has been learning to live without him. We will never get used to this, get over this or move on from this.”
Their beloved son, brother and partner left for work that night and never returned, as did new police graduate Constable Glen Humphris.
