THE Indonesian victim of a shocking murder-suicide in Brisbane has finally been laid to rest.
The body of Mayang Prasetyo, 27, was discovered dismembered in her Brisbane apartment last month.
The transgender woman's Australian husband Marcus Volke, 27, fled the apartment when police arrived, and took his own life in a nearby industrial bin.

Police say he had tried to dispose of Ms Mayang's remains by boiling them on the stove, in what they can only surmise was a domestic violence situation that got terribly out of hand.
Ms Mayang's mother Nining Sukarni said on Saturday it was a relief to finally lay her eldest child to rest.
She thanked both Australian and Indonesian authorities who made the repatriation to Bandar Lampung a smooth process.

"Everyone has been very helpful," she told AAP.
"Friends, neighbours, even people from the related government offices. Many of them came to her funeral." It's understood identification issues delayed the release of Ms Mayang's body.
Volke's funeral was held in Victoria last month.

Then, Ms Nining said she was stunned the quiet, polite young man she had met was capable of such a crime, but that she was able to forgive him.
She says Volke's family has not contacted her since the deaths. Ms Mayang, who was born Febri Andriansyah, worked as an escort to support her family in Indonesia and put her two sisters through school.

Her friends have remembered her for this dedication to her family, as well as her fascination with celebrities and bubbly personality.
