Vandals have shockingly painted lewd marks on a memorial site dedicated to Melbourne rape and murder victim Eurydice Dixon.
The discovery was made by police patrolling Princes Park at around 3:50am.
Fire crews worked to remove the offensive material, reportedly 25 metres in size, which appeared to be deliberately painted next to the floral memorial at the park.
