Dixon's friends and family have spoken out about her “engaging” and "fun" personality, as well as describing her troubling childhood that forced her to grow up far too son. When she was just seven-years-old her mother had died from a heroin overdose and was raised by her political activist and lawyer father, Jeremy Dixon.
“She had a f**king hard time (growing up)," Dixon's friend, comedian Kieran Butler, told The Australian. "By her own admission, she was a strange sort of unit. And so she got bullied and she had a tough life at home. There’s been tragedy in her past."
Ms Dixon’s murder was met by an outpouring of grief in Victoria. A vigil held at Princes Park was attended by more than 10,000 people.
