The sister of a young father who was the victim of a brutal stabbing in the northern suburbs has paid tribute to her brother.

Modbury Heights man Jordan Torrans, 31, was killed after he was allegedly stabbed multiple times outside a house on Londonderry Ave about 6.45pm Wednesday

Torrans’s sister, Jazmine, posted on social media: “A part of my heart will always be missing without you”.

Johnathon Malcolm Goodfellow, 30, was charged with the murder of Mr Torrans and faced the Elizabeth Magistrate’s Court on Thursday afternoon

Long-term friend Daniiel Wilkey shared a series of posts to social media on Thursday, revealing her heartbreak over Mr Torrans’ death.

“Jordan Torrans ... you’ll always be in my heart. R.I.P,” Ms Wilkey wrote.

In a tragic twist, Ms Wilkey also lost her partner Brad Hill in a fatal crash on Tuesday, after his motorbike collided with a car on North East Road at Inglewood.

“So to lose the love of my life Brad Hill, only to lose a very dear friend who’s always been very close to my heart, Jordan Torrans the following day after Brad’s accident,” Ms Wilkey wrote. “I’m shattered”.

“Jordan Torrans, you and Brad Hill behave wherever your are. And you (both) better start looking after me too! I need you (both)! R.I.P both taken to soon,” she wrote in another post.

Neighbours have been left shocked over the fatal stabbing.

Llewellyn Waterman-Arruzzolo, who lives directly across the road said he heard “yelling” last night and came outside to see what was going on.

“I saw a man fall,” he said. “There was a bit of an altercation.”

He said both ambulances and police were seen everywhere.

Another neighbour Pat Bradshaw said she saw flashing lights but heard no sirens.

“My husband went out and had a look,” she said.

“He saw a car being loaded on to a vehicle.”

One neighbour attempted to resuscitate the victim before paramedics arrived.
