The 23-year-old was so close to becoming the nurse she dreamed of being, and she had a holiday booked for after the ceremony.

But instead it was her sister who walked on to the graduation stage to accept her nursing degree.

Because just two weeks earlier, Elizabeth known as Tamihad been murdered, and her flatmate charged with stabbing her to death in their apartment.

Georgina says of the graduation day: "I was collecting this for my sister, but then in the back of my head I'm thinking about the fact that it should have been her.

Calling

"I couldn't even keep a brave face on stage while I was doing that."

To Tami, nursing was more than a career - it was a calling.

Georgina, 22, says: "From a young age, Tami really liked children. She had such a strong bond with caring for kids, looking after them.

"She was a very selfless person. She just wanted to care for people that were less-abled."
