Following the discovery of her bones in a trash site in Melbourne’s north last week, a beloved English teacher is being honoured.
Annette Brennan’s body was allegedly found on July 3 by workers sorting green garbage at a tip in Epping, around eight kilometres away, after it was stashed into a wheelie bin at her Coolaroo house.
Police are anticipated to charge a 45-year-old male who was brought into custody this morning.
It’s assumed that the two were acquainted.
Students of Brennan’s came together today to honour the 67-year-old after the shocking revelation.
“I’m really shocked, she was amazing,” said Simona Croce, a former pupil.
“She was beautiful, loving and a kind woman.”
Just two months ago, Brennan moved into her house on Hilgay Street and announced to her neighbours that she was looking for a flatmate.
The same address was accessed over the weekend by detectives using a locksmith, who then spent ten hours going through everything including the bins in the backyard.
The town of Coolaroo has been shocked to learn of Brennan’s passing.
The English teacher was like “a second mum,” according to Croce. “No one deserves to be treated this way, no one,” she stated.
Brennan’s body, according to investigators, was found inside a container that was picked up on Tuesday outside a house on Hilgay Street in Coolaroo.
Workers at Repurpose It, an Epping garbage plant, would find the sombre truth.
In a statement issued yesterday, George Hatzimanolis, the chief executive of Repurpose It, stated that the event had “shaken” the team.
“We are deeply saddened to confirm that a body was discovered in the FOGO delivery shed at our facility last Wednesday,” he stated.
