This Woman Instagrammed The Shoes Her Murdered Sister Was Wearing The Night She Died

    She owns the same shoes her sister was wearing the night she died.

    The sister of murdered international student Aya Maasarwe has posted pictures of the shoes the 21-year-old was wearing the night she was murdered.

    Noor Maasarwe said in her Instagram caption that she bought the same pair with her sister.

    "This is not just a pair of shoes, this is a pair of shoes with a meaning, this is the same shoes Aiia was wearing when she got murdered," Maasarwe wrote.

    Aya, a Palestinian citizen of Israel, was last seen leaving a comedy gig at the Comic's Lounge in North Melbourne last Tuesday night, before catching the 86 tram to Plenty Road, Bundoora.

    Noor had been on the phone to her sister when she was attacked.

    Her body was found in bushes near the Polaris shopping centre in Bundoora the next morning.

    Codey Herrmann, 20, appeared in court on Saturday charged with Aya's rape and murder. He has been remanded in custody pending another hearing on June 7.

    Aya's father Saeed Maasarwe asked media outlets to spell his daughter's name Aya instead of Aiia, which was based on passport details released by Victoria Police.

    He joined those gathered at a vigil last week in Melbourne.

    The father of murdered international student Aya Maasarwe had these final words for Australians before he returns to Israel.

    He is now back in Israel for her funeral on Wednesday.

    In an interview that aired on Tuesday night he told The Project he stood by his decision to support his daughter in travelling to a foreign country.

    “This is our job [as] the parents,” he said. “We need to give to our child the best as we can. To give them more opportunity.”

    He said his daughter told him Australia was a "safe country" with a "nice culture".

    "A little girl with BIG dreams, that how Aiia was," her sister posted on Instagram.

    "She was living a dream in Melbourne, a dream that ended up being worst than a nightmare," she wrote.

    "Violence against women is not a women issue, it is a men issue."
