THE local community has paid tribute to slain mum Adeline Yvette Rigney-Wilson and her two children, who were found dead at their Hillier home on Monday.

About 300 people and students from the Galwer region held a minute’s silence at Gawler Reconciliation Community Fun Day at Apex Park, Gawler on Friday in memory Ms Rigney-Wilson and children Corey, 5, and Amber, 6.

Red, yellow and black balloons were released by students of Evanston Gardens Primary School, where Corey and Amber attended.

The Australian and Aboriginal flags were raised at half mast.

Yvette’s partner, Steven Graham Peet, 30, has been charged with her murder and that of her two children.

He appeared in the Elizabeth Magistrates Court on Tuesday afternoon and did not apply for bail.

Aboriginal Health Service Gawler co-ordinator, Rebecca Kimlin, said the Aboriginal community and the Gawler community were mourning the loss of two innocent children taken too soon.

“Everyone grieves in their own way and this is about paying the utmost respect to the family and the community at this time,” she said.

At Evanston Gardens Primary School, students and parents held a memorial at their Friday assembly, where balloons were released in memory of Corey and Amber.

Meanwhile tributes grow at their Hillier home as the community continue to visit and pay their respects.

Teddies, flowers and balloons were mounted at the front gate with heartfelt notes from mourners.

“I’m really sorry that you died...you always played with me. I was your friend,” said one note left by a schoolmate.
