Dayna Isaac’s father, ex-husband reveal family’s pain over her death

The father of allegedly murdered woman Dayna Isaac has revealed he is in complete shock at the death of his “princess” as her ex-husband shared an emotional tribute to her online.

The distraught father of Dayna Isaac said his family is in ‘complete shock’ at the death of his daughter and the mother of his adored granddaughters, as her ex-husband wrote a heartfelt tribute in her memory online.

Garry English choked back tears as he told The Daily Telegraph he struggled to find words to adequately described his ‘princess’.

“I’m not in a good place..I’m in complete shock,” Mr English said.

Less than 24-hours earlier, police had knocked on Mr English’s door in Sydney’s north west to tell him his daughter, 28, had been found dead inside her Penrith apartment.

Mr English regularly posted tributes to his daughter on Facebook, describing her as ‘my princess’ and the best mother to his two little granddaughters.

“Love you to the moon and back,” he wrote to her on Father’s Day last year.

In another post Mr English wrote Mr English wrote “My little princesses, just like their mummy”.

Mr English said Ms Isaac was his “princess”.

On Ms Isaac’s wedding day in 2017, he simply posted “My princess”.

Ms Isaac’s best friend Hayley Chandler set up a Go Fund Me account to help support the grieving family.

“Our beautiful Dayna was taken way too soon...Dayna was a friend to everyone. She leaves behind 2 beautiful children who will miss her dearly, Ms Chandler wrote.

Ms Chandler described her friend as “such a beautiful soul taken way too soon. Rest in paradise”.

Ms Isaac was found dead in her unit on Monday afternoon.

Dayna Isaac’s ex-husband, whom she shared two children with, says he will love her forever and has promised to “look after our girls until we meet again”.

Mikkel Isaac, who remained on good terms with Ms Isaac following their separation, said in a heart wrenching post on social media he would take care of their two daughters following her alleged murder.

“Love you forever and always. I promise I’ll look after our girls until we meet again my angel,” Mr Isaac wrote.

Mr Isaac also posted a series of wedding photos of them together under the post.

following the news of her death.

Ms Isaac’s death came less than a month after the alleged murder of Dannielle Finlay-Jones, on December 21, who lived in the suburb next door.

Penrith deputy mayor Todd Carney said the deaths of two women in neighbouring suburbs in a matter of weeks had rocked the community.

“We’re seeing too many women die of (alleged) domestic violence over the past 12 months and to see the year start off like this is just absolutely tragic,” Mr Carney said.

“My thoughts and prayers are with the family.”

“We need to work with all agencies to assist where we can… we need to stand up for those people that aren’t with us anymore.”

Ms Finlay-Jones, 36, was found with massive head injuries on the bedroom floor of a friend’s house in Cranebrook on December 21.

Her new boyfriend Ashley Gaddie, whom she met on a dating app, has been charged with murder.

Late yesterday, Ms Isaac’s new boyfriend Paul Sultana was charged with her murder, after an alleged 11-hour manhunt to find him.
