The father of a teenage motocross star allegedly stabbed to death in Mildura says he always feared his son would meet a tragic end. Seb O'Halloran, 19, was knifed after intervening in a fight outside a home in the early hours of Saturday.
Mark O'Halloran told the Herald Sun he had anticipated his son's death but thought it would be from a car or motorbike accident. 'Now that it has happened… I'm doing OK under the circumstances,' he said.
Seb, a third-year building apprentice, was known for his fearless dirt bike riding and loyal friendships. His father described him as someone who would persist until he mastered a challenge.
Victoria Police arrested a 17-year-old girl and an 18-year-old man following the stabbing. The girl has been charged with murder and remanded in custody until November 9. CCTV and DNA evidence will be used in the case.
A GoFundMe page for Seb's family has raised nearly $24,000. Friends and the Mildura community have paid tribute, with one describing him as 'the mate that would put everyone else before himself'.
