AUBURN — A candlelight vigil is scheduled next week to honor the memory of Brooke Locke, the Edward Little High School graduate who was killed earlier this week.
Police say Locke, 21, a third-year occupational therapy student at Husson University was strangled by her boyfriend, Zackery Mailloux, 21, a continuing education student at Husson. He was charged with murder Monday.
The candlelight remembrance is scheduled for 5 p.m. Nov. 27 in front of the belltower outside of Edward Little High School, according to a Facebook page “In Remembrance of Brooke Locke.”
“Faculty remember her as a great young lady, sensitive, shy, quiet, who excelled,” Steve Galway, Edward Little assistant principal, told the Bangor Daily News on Wednesday. “Many of them will be at the vigil.”
“It’s to help everybody kind of cope with it,” Christine Hartford said Wednesday. “We’re all having a hard time. It hits close to home when you realize it can happen so fast.”
