Sister of slain doctor calls for killers to turn themselves in
The distraught sister of Dr Ash Gordon has made an emotional appeal for those responsible for the death of her brother to turn themselves in.
In the early hours of Saturday morning, the 33-year-old doctor was killed after a group of criminals broke into his home in Doncaster in Melbourne’s east.
After they stole several items from his home, he managed to chase them out of the house and pursued them in his car, until both he and the intruders exited their vehicles and a fight erupted just 500 metres away.
Dr Gordon was stabbed fatally several times in the altercation and was left for dead.
As his family grieve his premature death, his devastated sister Natalie has called for justice.
Appearing on Sunrise, she shared how angry the situation has made her.
“I think for me it's been anger the entire time. I'm just obviously devastated, but so angry that anyone could do this to not only my brother but any person, any human being,” she said.
"His girlfriend is heartbroken, mum is completely broken and I've never seen my dad like this. You never want to have to bury your own children."
Ms Gordon said her little brother had “a big personality with a large heart”, sharing how “his presence was known everywhere.”
“He had a cheeky grin, a charm and charisma about him that had everyone wrapped around his little finger.”
“He was the absolute apple of all of our eyes. He was the centre of our family and he was the youngest of five but we all looked up to him.”
While Dr Gordon's attackers remain on the run and no arrests have been made, Natalie has pleaded for the killers to turn themselves in to police.
“Wear the consequences, because you'll never imagine what we're feeling, what we're going through,” she said.
“You have taken away a wonderful doctor, a caring man and the best little brother. Don't be a coward now.”
