'ASH WAS THE BEST MUM'

The moment Emma Van Der Waal discovered her friend Ashlee Good was caught up in the horrific attack at Westfield Bondi Junction is one that will stay with her forever.

Ashlee, 38, was the first victim to be publicly identified from the stabbing rampage on April 13. She was fatally wounded while trying to save her nine-month-old baby, who was also stabbed.

“All Ash ever wanted to do was find her soulmate and have a family,” Emma tells New Idea. “I can’t get past the last bit of what she would be thinking. She would have wanted someone to save her baby. That’s Ash … she was so selfless.”

Ashlee’s desperate last moments – which saw her throwing daughter Harriet into the arms of two strangers and pleading for their help – touched people across Australia. Harriet suffered knife wounds and remains in Sydney Children’s Hospital after undergoing surgery. She is in a stable condition.
