The Irish mother of 19-year-old medical student Grace O'Malley-Kumar - who was killed in an attack in Nottingham, England - has appealed for people not to have hate in their hearts as she paid tribute to her daughter.
Thousands of people gathered in Nottingham city centre to pay their respects to those killed in a knife and van rampage earlier this week.
Talented 19-year-old students Grace O'Malley-Kumar and Barnaby Webber were found stabbed to death in Ilkeston Road at around 4am.
Caretaker Ian Coates, 65, who was described by his sons as "everyone's friend", was then found dead in Magdala Road after his van was allegedly stolen by the suspect.
The vigil in the city's Market Square saw emotional tributes from family, friends and colleagues of the victims who were fatally stabbed in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
Addressing the crowd at the vigil Dublin-born Dr Sinéad O'Malley said the magnitude of the grief for her daughter reflects the magnitude of the love she and her family had for her.
Dr O’Malley told those gathered: "She wanted to be a doctor, she wanted to play hockey with her pals, she wanted to have fun because that's what all students want, they want to enjoy themselves and all they were doing was walking home. They were just walking home after a night out."
Echoing the comments of Emma Webber, the mother of Barnaby Webber, she said, the person responsible must face justice.
Addressing the crowds Emma Webber said: "The monstrous individual who has shattered so many lives will not define us and I know that he will receive the retribution that he deserves.
"However, this evil person is just that. He is just a person. Please hold no hate that relates to any colour, sex or religion."
Dr O'Malley added: "Be kind to each other, look after each other, don't have hate in your hearts. Say prayers for my baby girl. I can't say anymore, but she did love Nottingham."
Grace's brother James O'Malley-Kumar said: "Grace wasn't just a sister to me, she was a best friend of mine.
"My mother, my father, all her friends and all her family. And if there's only one message that comes out of this, I urge you all to cherish every moment you spend with your loved ones as you just never know when it will end."
Grace's father Sanjoy Kumar said: "She had so many, so many good friends and such great memories. She was so looking forward to coming back for her second year.
"She would have been a junior doctor serving you and your lovely city and the hospital here and that's been taken away from us."
Ms Webber tearfully addressed her son during her speech at the vigil.
"My beautiful, beautiful boy, you have mine, your dad and your brother's heart forever," she said.
Ian Coates' son James promised support to the families of Grace O'Malley-Kumar and Barnaby Webber as they paid tribute to their father at the vigil.
Addressing the families, he said: "Obviously they are going through the same thing that we are, anything they need from us we're happy to support you."
He thanked everybody for the "kind words" that have poured in about his father.
"It feels like he's touched a lot of hearts over the years, more than what we assumed and knew that he had, so it's been really nice and heartwarming to see the messages and people come out and talk about how he was when they were younger and how he's helped them," he said.
Before the vigil, British Home Secretary Suella Braverman visited Nottingham to pay her own respects to the victims by laying a wreath with a personal hand-written message to their families saying: "We are with you".
Police granted more time to quiz man over UK rampage
British detectives have been granted a further 36 hours to question a former University of Nottingham student over the rampage.
The force said the suspect is believed to have made his way to a supported living complex in Mapperley Road after the attack on the students but was denied entry, an incident which had not been reported to police at the time.
He then allegedly continued on foot to Magdala Road where caretaker Ian Coates was killed and had his van stolen.
Police said a man also remains in a serious condition in hospital after the van was driven at him in Milton Street.
The force have referred a further incident to the Independent Office for Police Conduct after a marked police car followed the vehicle for a short distance before it collided with another two pedestrians in Sherwood Street.
The 31-year-old suspect was then tasered and arrested on suspicion of murder when the vehicle was eventually stopped.
Police revealed today that the suspect is a former University of Nottingham student, but said "this is not believed to be connected with the attack".
The force said in a statement: "We are still working alongside Counter-Terrorism Policing and keeping an open mind on the motives behind these attacks."
