The three-month old baby who died in hospital following Friday’s horrific attack on Melbourne’s Bourke Street Mall has been identified as Zachary Bryant.
In a statement obtained by ABC, Zachary’s parents Matthew and Nawwar Bryant said “he was the most beautiful, loving, happy, and perfect little baby we were so lucky to be gifted with.”
His parents also wrote he “was the light of our lives constantly filling our days with smiles and laughs,” who “leaves us with the best three months and 14 days of wonderful memories spent in this world.”
“Zac, Mummy and Daddy love you very much, and always will.”
Zachary’s two-year-old sister Zara, also pictured above, remains in Melbourne’s Royal Children’s Hospital in a stable condition after being injured in the attack.
In their statement, her parents asked well-wishers “to keep us and Zara in your prayers.”
Zachary was the fifth person to die in the aftermath of the tragedy.
