Family of mother and child killed in Edmonton among 100s marking Red Dress Day – Daily Guardian

May 6, 2024

One year ago, a mother and child were randomly stabbed to death in Mill Woods in a crime that shocked Edmonton. On Sunday, their loved ones paid tribute to them, joining thousands across the country, marching for Red Dress Day.

“We’re a big strong family we try to stay strong and we have a lot of support,” said Donna Robillard, Carolann’s mother. “I remember last year I went for the Red Dress Day walk that day when they got murdered. that’s when I heard the tragic news about them, that hit me.”

The attack outside Crawford Plains School in Mill Woods on May 5, 2023, claimed the lives of 35-year-old mother Carolann Robillard and her 11-year-old daughter Sara Miller, who preferred to go by the name Jayden. A year later, the family marked the grim milestone at the same event.

The faces of their lost loved ones are found on pins, sweaters and posters throughout the crowd.

“It doesn’t feel real. It’s just weird to see my mom and my brother on everyone and not here with us,” said Tanisha Miller.
