Fund for girls tops $4000

A health and education fund set up for Auriel and Crystalyn Mercer has reached $4098.

The fund was set up by Dunedin Kindergarten Association general manager Andrew Campbell-Stokes after the girls' mother, Wendy, and brother Will were killed at their home last week, allegedly by Mrs Mercer's estranged husband, Kelvin Mercer.

Donations can be made to the National Bank or Dunedin kindergartens.
