The Mandurah community is being invited to come together tonight to honour the life of Cassius Turvey.

The vigil will be held at Mandjar Square from 5.30pm on Wednesday, November 9.

Cassius died on October 23 more than a week after he was allegedly chased down and beaten with a metal pole while walking home from school in Perth's north-east.

The 15-year-old's death sent shockwaves across the country with several vigils taking place in each state and even overseas.

Jack Brearley, 21, has been charged with his murder.
