An up-and-coming young comedian was raped and murdered while she walked home from a stand-up gig in Australia — sparking a nationwide outcry over violence against women, according to reports Friday.
“I’m almost home safe. HBU?,” Eurydice Dixon, 22, wrote in a Facebook message — just moments before the attack, The Age News reported.
The comic had just done a set at Highlander bar in Melbourne — and was blocks from her apartment — when the attacker struck around midnight Tuesday, according to the local paper. Her body was found on a football field roughly three hours later.
