Family, friends and locals will pay their respects to a bus driver who was burnt to death, at a vigil in Brisbane's south. A vigil for Mr Alisher, an Indian immigrant, has been organised for 5.30pm today (local time) at Luxworth Place, Beaudesert Rd, Moorooka. Local councillor Steve Griffiths posted a message on his Facebook page, saying the vigil was not only to pay respect to Mr Alisher but to those affected. Brisbane Lord Mayor Graham Quirk said the driver was a casual worker who had only been employed for a few months. Mr Quirk said flags would be flown half-mast at council facilities today as a sign of respect.
