Yesterday marked the 21st anniversary of the death of T.J. Hickey, who was killed when he was impaled on a fence in Waterloo, after being pursued by Redfern police in 2004. The police say it was accident but the family of T.J. say it was murder.
Every year on this day, February the 14th, Valentine’s Day, families and supporters, led by T.J.’s mother, Gail Hickey, gather at the fence where T.J. was killed to commemorate his death. Each year, they march from Waterloo, past Redfern police station, to The Block.
This year followed that same path, under grey skies and rain.
