A memorial concert is to be held for slain schoolgirl Liberty Templeman to raise money for an artwork to be created in her honour.

The concert, on October 16, is to be held at The Centre in Kerikeri, exactly two years since the aspiring actress appeared on stage at the venue as Princess Jasmine in Sinbad the Sailor, just three weeks before she died.

Liberty, 15, was killed by Theo Kriel, who was 14 when he hit her, strangled her and left her in the Wairoa Stream where she drowned. Kriel is serving an 11-year sentence at a youth facility for her murder.
