Charlise Mutten’s dad plans large memorial for his daughter allegedly shot and placed in barrel

The biological father of Charlise Mutten, the nine-year-old allegedly murdered and her remains then put in a barrel, is raising funds for ‘a beautiful public service’ and has proposed a large public monument containing her ashes be built.

Scott Hensby has started a gofundme page entitled ‘Charlise Mutten Funeral and Memorial OFFICIAL’ in which he thanks Australians and other around the world for their support since Charlsie’s alleged murder.

He writes: ‘I am Charlise Mutten’s biological father, Scott Hensby. This is the official GoFundMe page for Charlise Mutten. There is no other page.

‘The support given within Australia and from around the world has been massive, and rightly so.

‘This is a vile tragedy which has been followed by millions of people, all hoping Charlise would be found alive and well only to be crushed by the news of her body being discovered.

‘People have been asking if there is a GoFundMe page available to donate for a funeral and memorial . This had to be discussed between family.

‘The funeral costs for the entirely private cremation service are covered.

‘We would use the money for a beautiful public service with the dignity and grace Charlise deserves,’ he wrote adding a sad emoji.

Mr Hensby said the monument would enable people to ‘come from all over to pay respects, all are welcome’ and suggested public land could be donated by a council’.

‘We would like to build a monument to Charlise, to remember what has happened.

‘This incident can’t pass by without being the catalyst for change. This will be a memorial of impressive magnitude.

‘This monument will stand tall and proud, on a plot of land donated by Tweed Heads or Coolangatta council.
