Kiesha Abrahams case adjourned for forensic tests

THE case against a mother and stepfather charged with murdering six-year-old Kiesha Abrahams in western Sydney has been adjourned for forensic material to be examined.
Kristi Anne Abrahams, 28, and Robert Smith, 32, are charged with the murder of Kiesha, who was reported missing from her home at Mount Druitt in August last year.

Neither Ms Abrahams nor Mr Smith appeared in Penrith Local Court today.

Their lawyers said they were not required to appear.

The pair was charged with Kiesha's murder after human remains were found in bushland at Shalvey, near Mount Druitt, on April 22.

Neither has entered a plea or applied for bail.

Today, lawyers for the crown asked for the case to be adjourned until September 23, to allow time for further forensic material to be examined.

Kiesha's remains finally released

Kiesha Weippeart can finally be laid to rest, five months after her remains were found in a shallow grave on the outskirts of Sydney.

The NSW state coroner's office yesterday authorised the release of the child's bones to her father, Chris Weippeart, the Daily Telegraph reports.

"I feel happy I can put her to rest the way she deserves," Mr Weippeart told the newspaper.

Kiesha's father said his daughter would be given a private funeral for close friends and family, as well as a public memorial.

A family's farewell to their princess, Kiesha Weippeart

THE public memorial service for Kiesha Weippeart will be filled with love, her grandmother said yesterday.

As plans were being made for a fitting send-off for the allegedly murdered six-year-old girl, her grandmother Liz Weippeart said one thing was certain: "That little girl will be sent off like a princess."

The family has decided to hold a private funeral, followed by a public memorial a few days later.

"We just think this is the best way to handle the situation, so we can grieve and mourn in private," Mrs Weippeart said. "And then everyone can come along to the memorial."

Kiesha laid to rest in Sydney

Kiesha Weippeart from Sydney will finally be laid to rest today, 15 months after her alleged murder.

The private funeral for the six year old will be held at a cemetery in the city's west.

Kiesha's mother Kristi Abrahams and step-father Robert Smith, who are charged with the murder, have been told about the funeral, but will not be allowed to attend the service.

A public memorial for Kiesha will be held next Tuesday and her family says it will be open to the public.

Mourners in purple as Kiesha finally laid to rest

KIESHA Abrahams has been laid to rest, six months after her remains were found in a shallow bushland grave.

Many of the 100-plus mourners wore Kiesha's favourite colour purple during the private funeral on Wednesday at the north chapel of Pinegrove Memorial Park in Minchinbury in Sydney's west.

Family and friends consoled Kiesha's father Chris Weippeart at the service, where a choir of children sang In the Arms of an Angel.

Six-year-old Kiesha was reported missing from her Mount Druitt home in Sydney's west on August 1 last year.

The girl's mother Kristi Abrahams, 28, and stepfather Robert Smith, 31, were charged with Kiesha's murder after her skeletal remains were found in April this year in a shallow grave in bushland near her home.

Father Edward Dooley presided over Wednesday's service and urged mourners to remember Kiesha - but to also focus on the present and the future.

"It is now time to heal," Fr Dooley said.

The Purple Army, supporters of the Weippeart family, donned their purple shirts and handed out purple ribbons ahead of the ceremony.

Kiesha's coffin was covered in flowers and arrived before the funeral service started.

Her grandmother Liz Weippeart requested that the funeral be a private event for people close to the family.

"She is our little girl, this is the way want to do it," Mrs Weippeart said.

"I don't mind who comes to the memorial, but we want to keep the funeral service private and low-key."

Butterflies will be released at a public memorial service for Kiesha Weippeart to be held on Tuesday.

They were her favourite creatures, her grandmother, Liz, said yesterday.

More than 500 people, including some who helped search for the six-year-old following her disappearance in August last year, are expected to attend.

Purple balloons and butterflies released to honour Kiesha Weippeart

PURPLE balloons and butterflies have been used to honour the memory of murdered six-year-old Kiesha Weippeart at a public memorial service today.

More than 150 people gathered for the two-hour service at Holy Family Parish Church in Emerton in Sydney's west.

The service comes one week after a private funeral for Kiesha, who was allegedly murdered by her mother Kristi Abrahams and step-father Robert Smith.

The congregation heard eulogies from family friend Alison Anderson, a former foster parent to Kiesha, and also Flora Tiitii, the defacto partner of Robert's brother Jason.

Kiesha's father Chris Weippheart did not attend, but his mother, Liz, sat front row.

Two police officers involved in the investigation received a round of applause and a gift from the organisers.

At the end of the service, balloons and butterflies were released into the sky by mourners.

Public memorial held for Kiesha Weippeart

‘You may never get over something like this but together we can learn to cope.’’ Father Edward Dooley began the public memorial for Kiesha Weippeart with those solemn words earlier today.

About 200 people gathered in the Holy Family Church at Emerton this morning to say goodbye to the six-year-old girl who police believe was murdered last year.

Balloons in Kiesha’s favourite colours of pink and purple decorated the church and many people wore purple shirts with the words ‘‘Forever in our hearts’’ written on them.

A children’s choir named ‘‘Kiesha’s soldiers’’ sang Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah.

‘‘There has been a great deal of mourning in the community,’’ father Dooley continued after the song, ‘‘we are gathered here today to put that mourning to rest.’’

Flora Tiitii, an aunt of Kiesha’s from her stepfather’s side, spoke to the mourners next.

She retold a memory of when Kiesha had stayed with her family for a night.

Kiesha and Ms Tiitii’s daughter had spent the day playing before falling asleep together in bed.

It was that image of Kiesha asleep with her own child that Ms Tiitii had cherished since two police officers knocked on her door in August last year and told her the young girl was missing .
