IT'S taken almost 10 years for his twin brother's murderer to be brought to justice, but the death of Osama bin Laden has finally delivered relief for Paul Gyulavary.
Mr Gyulavary's brother, Peter, was 44 when he was killed in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on New York's World Trade Center towers.
Bin Laden's death was symbolic, but it wouldn't do anything to stop terrorism, Mr Gyulavary said.
"Someone who's murdered my twin brother has now been taken out. Maybe the world will be a little bit safer," Mr Gyulavary said.
"There's one less terrorist in the world, but it's not necessarily going to stop terrorism from happening.
"It's a great sense of relief and a sense of justice ... I can understand why people are cheering and celebrating, but it's not going to mean the end of it all."
The 53-year-old teacher from Melbourne said not a day went by when he didn't think of his brother.
He remembers the good times they shared growing up in Geelong, rather than his last moments.
"There's not a day I don't think about him, but I think of kicking a football with him or being in the family home sharing a meal ... I hardly ever think of September 11," he said.
"I don't think Peter wants me to be angry and bitter and twisted."
He said the tragedy had given him a new appreciation for life, making him a more loving person and a better father.
He said Peter's wife had not been doing well since his death.
Mr Gyulavary will commemorate the 10th anniversary of his brother's death by visiting Ground Zero in New York in September.
He will take the youngest of his three daughters, who was just two years old when she lost her uncle and godfather, to see where he died and where he used to live.
"It'll be a good journey for her in the sense that we can share it together and I can explain things to her," he said.
Born in Geelong, Peter had lived in the US for 20 years with his American wife, Jane, and his daughter Geniveve (Geniveve), who is now 23.
He was working as an architect for the Washington Group on the 91st floor of the south tower of the World Trade Centre when it was struck by a plane hijacked by terrorists.
