GRIEVING and angry members of a Noble Park family say they will never be able to understand why innocent little Liliana Lam had to die as a result of alleged physical abuse. Liliana died in the Monash Medical Centre early on Thursday morning after being taken to the hospital with internal injuries about 10.30pm on Wednesday. She was taken to hospital by her 20-year-old mother, Dieu Lam, and Ms Lam's boyfriend. It is alleged the toddler was assaulted in her Noble Park home. Liliana's father, aged 22, has been charged with murder over the little girl's death. Liliana's great-uncle, Minh Nguyen, yesterday told the Herald Sun Liliana was a beautiful and sweet little angel who did not see evil in the world due to her tender age. He spoke of a girl who trusted everyone she met and who would hold his hand and kiss him whenever she saw him. "She was a beautiful little girl and now she is dead," Mr Nguyen said yesterday while clutching a photograph of Liliana. "She seemed happy. If you were leaving the house she would hold your hand and walk with you outside and give you a kiss and say 'bye bye'. "She was happy with everybody. "I really loved her. I wanted to adopt her." Mr Nguyen said that Liliana was a defenceless toddler who deserved love and protection. "What could she do to protect herself?" he asked. "What did she do to deserve this? I can't understand it. "If she had been sick and died then I might not be so upset, but she's been (allegedly) abused." Mr Nguyen said Ms Lam was understandably shattered. "She has been crying," he said. Mr Nguyen and other relatives sat outside the family home in Mihan St yesterday, watching the rain fall along with their tears. The gloom of the day reflected their thoughts as they remembered beloved little Liliana. "I will miss her," Mr Nguyen said. Herald Sun (6-5-2006) Paul Anderson |
