Friends, family, and members of the community gathered at a candlelight vigil in Brampton for 11-year-old Riya Rajkumar, whose body was found at a home last Thursday following an Amber Alert. The girl’s father, Roopesh Rajkumar, 41, faces a first-degree murder charge.
Members of city council in Brampton, Ont., organized the vigil, which was held at Garden Square in downtown Brampton Tuesday evening, and was open to all members of the public.
The evening began with two songs of prayer dedicated to Riya as members of the crowd remained quiet.
Poems, speeches, and songs were presented, as the sky darkened and light from hundreds of candles illuminated the area.
