Another neighbour, in his 60s, said he hadn't seen any incidents like this in the area in over a decade.
“I’ve been here 11 years in this street. You see the police sometimes pass by but we’ve never heard anyone screaming or a bashing, we’re very happy with this street,” he said.

“These days every street you go, doesn’t matter what area you go, sometimes there’s people dealing drugs and strange people.”
Police are treating the death as suspicious.
