Chemist Warehouse family pays $22.8m for six houses to demolish them
Can't find your dream home? In Melbourne's well-heeled inner east, one option is to buy out your neighbours – and build it. The Verrocchi family, of Chemist Warehouse fame, have bought six adjacent houses in Toorak for a combined $22.83 million and secured a planning permit to build a new residence. They're not alone, as families with the means look to create homes that suit their needs rather than buying someone else's vision. Matthew and Nicole Verrocchi are set to demolish the existing mix of town residences and apartments to build their dream home. Matthew's father is Mario, Chemist Warehouse co-founder, and Matthew is part of the empire as well as managing director of Bondi Perfume Co. The first purchase was in 2017, a $5.78 million contemporary home in Toorak marketed with a butler's pantry, barbecue and heated swimming pool. The selling agent was Marshall White's Marcus Chiminello who could not be reached. Their next buy the following year was the home of their next-door neighbour to the south for $2.4 million, also through Marshall White, described in its listing as an original Edwardian residence and opportunity for a new luxury home. The couple spent another $2.4 million in 2022 on the next house to the south, a four-bedroom town residence with skylights, stainless-steel appliances and a rear courtyard, through Woodards South Yarra. In 2023, they bought out the neighbour on the north side of their original purchase, paying $5 million, then in 2024, they added the next neighbour to the south side of their expanding footprint for $2.75 million.

As the series is now free to stream on Channel 5, here's everything you need to know about the beloved cast. Criminal Minds first aired in September 2005, and now nearly 20 years on the show still remains a fan favourite. The show was originally cancelled in 2020, but fans were so outraged by the decision to take it off air that it returned two years later for a spin-off show - Criminal Minds: Evolution. Created by Jeff Davis, Criminal Minds follows a team of criminal profilers who work for the FBI's Behavioural Analysis Unit (BAU) to investigate crimes, as they anticipate the next moves of the criminals across the United States and stop them before they strike again. Each episode of the show focuses on a new case with the cast trying to bust the criminal, and explores the personal lives of various characters. There are some major cast and character changes over the years, but the much-loved OG cast members have stayed the same. With the likes of Kirsten Vangsness, Matthew Gray Gubler, A.J Cook, Joe Mantegna, Thomas Gibson, Shemar Moore and Paget Brewster. Here is everything you need to know about where the cast of Criminal Minds are now? Matthew Gray Gubler Matthew played Dr Spencer Reid and stared in season one to season 15, and he quickly became a fan favourite. Dr Reid was a genius who graduated high school at the age of 12 and had two bachelors degrees and three PHDs, as well as being a respected member of the BAU. In addition to his role in the show, he went on to appear in multiple movies - RV, (500) Days of Summer, Life after Beth and Zoe. Matthew also voiced the beloved character Simon in all four Alvin and the Chipmunks movies. A.J Cook A.J was just 27 when the show premiered in 2005 and remained as a main character until season six where she left the team to take on a job at the Pentagon, although she was actually cut from the show due to cost cutting reasons by CBS.

Boy killed in parade accident remembered at 2 Friday vigils: ‘He was a light'
NORTH CANTON, Ohio (WJW) – Hundreds of grieving neighbors, family members and friends gathered to remember 13-year-old Matthew Schultz at two vigils Friday night. The first event was a private rosary service held at Queen of Heaven Catholic Church in Green because Matthew was an altar server and loved his faith. 'That's the one thing that keeps us smiling through our tears, that Matthew lives forever. When God gives a gift, he gives it forever,' said Fr. David Durkee, becoming choked up. The second memorial and night of remembrance started later around 8 p.m. at Witwer Park in North Canton next to North Canton Middle School. I-TEAM: New development in unsolved Cleveland Metroparks double murder Hundreds came out in force and in costume. Some wore blue clothing, which was his favorite color. Others dressed up like characters from Star Wars, but they all carried lights. 'Light because he was a light,' said organizer Rachel Hoffman Murray. 'We've got the glow sticks and light sabers, flashlights and a chance to kind of shine in that darkness.' Matthew's death on Memorial Day has devastated the area after the teen fell from a trailer during the parade. Also in attendance at the vigil were members of the Ohio Garrison 501st Legion Star Wars Cosplayers who were at the parade that day. They said he was always full of joy, curiosity and laughter. 'Matthew was a huge Star Wars fan. Some of our members even got a chance to speak with him before the incident and he was very excited to see us,' said David Hise, Ohio Garrison 501st Commander. Graduating East Cleveland students fulfill a special pact from middle school The vigil was designed to help everyone honor Matthew's life and cope with the tragic loss. 'To recognize Matthew, recognize his family and just, you know, honor the time that we had with him,' said Hoffman-Murray. The community is also allying behind the family in other ways too, from upcoming restaurant fundraisers to selling specially designed t-shirts. 'My daughter knew Matthew. We couldn't believe it and we just wanted to do something to help,' said Ashley Humphrey. They said they want to be a force of heartfelt solidarity and tangible support for Matthew's family during this difficult time. 'I think that's part of the healing process, everyone coming together supporting one another,' said Hise. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
