While much remains unknown about the killing, it took place in the context of official attempts to whip-up nationalism and racism to divert from an unprecedented social crisis.
Tragic teen Cassius Turvey was due to start work at Gina Rinehart s Roy Hill mine in the Pilbara when he was allegedly murdered in what has described as a racially motivated attack.
Mechelle Turvey - whose son Cassius, 15, died in hospital 10 days after the October 13 attack - was distraught as she gathered with hundreds of friends, family and supporters in Perth on Saturday.
