The grieving mother of Maddison Parrott has paid a touching tribute to her daughter – after a homeless vigilante was charged with her murder.
The 29-year-old’s body was found inside the charred remains of a tent at the Geelong Showgrounds, on the outskirts of the Victorian town, earlier this month.
Maddison’s mother Marlene has revealed the cherished and close nature of the pair’s relationship.
‘We had the best relationship that a mother and daughter could ever ask for,’ Mrs Parrott told the Geelong Advertiser.
‘She wasn’t just my daughter, she was my best friend.’

Since Maddison’s vibrant life came to an allegedly violent end, local homeless man Nick Cross, 31, was arrested at gunpoint, before being charged with her murder.
Two others, a 31-year-old Tracy Menzies from nearby Bell Park and Todd Sell, 34, of Colac, were later charged with accessory to murder after the fact.
Maddison allegedly received a gunshot wound to the head before her body was dumped by the trio.
She had reportedly been living in a glamping-style tent at the campsite since the amicable breakdown of her marriage months earlier.
The spot now acts as a place of solace and solitude for those closest to her.
