One of the victims killed in Sydney's horror mass stabbing had just bought her wedding dress.
Dawn Singleton, 25, was one of the six victims who died after being stabbed by a knifeman at the Westfield shopping centre in Bondi on Saturday, April 13. She was described as a "sweet, kind-hearted person" with "her whole life ahead of her" by her employer, the clothing brand White Fox.
Ms Singleton had studied a degree in communications at the University of Technology Sydney, and was the daughter of an 82-year-old advertising businessman in the city, reports the Mirror.
Recently-engaged Ms Singleton has only just sent out 'save the date' wedding invites and purchased her wedding dress, according to MailOnline. She was set to marry high school sweetheart Ashley Wildey, a police office for NSW Police, in the coming months.
Five women and one man were killed in the rampage, before the knifeman - named as 40-year-old Joel Cauchi - was shot dead by lone police officer Amy Scott.
The 38-year-old mother killed in the attack, while trying to save her nine-month-old baby, has been named. Ashlee Good's baby was also injured and has since undergone surgery.
White Fox Boutique released a tribute to Ms Singleton on Instagram following the tragic news. “Over the weekend we lost not only an employee of White Fox but someone special to us who felt like a family member,” the statement said.
“We are all truly devastated by this loss. Dawn was a sweet, kind hearted person who had her whole life ahead of her. She was really amazing. We send our love & deepest condolences to her partner, the Singleton family & her friends. She will always be remembered as part of the White Fox family.”
