This is Matthew Cole. A friend of Maddys bought this picture along on a card they had made to remember him to the first Melbourne Ride of Silence in 2005.
In todays Age there are two pictures accompanying the story about Maddys death in a hit-run incident, of Bronwyn Dowton, his life partner and the man who’s actions took Maddy from her in January 2005.
“There is scarcely a moment that I am not without pain and grief as a result of this tragedy,” she said. “I know that I will feel this pain for the rest of my life.” Judge Stuart Campbell remanded Plumpton, 30, of Pascoe Vale South, in custody.
Due to be sentenced at a later date, Plumpton still enjoyed some freedom, said Ms Dowton. “Maddy is in a grave,” she said. “We don’t get to have the life we planned. To grow old together.”
