A neighbour said she heard a lot of commotion coming from the house around 8pm last night.

“It was a big, big noise, I heard lots of boys, they were screaming and talking, but I didn’t hear when it happened. Since 8pm they were screaming.

The woman said there were around seven boys at the home.

“But they weren’t fighting, they were just saying bad language”

Another neighbour said he didn’t hear anything as he was sleeping but described the house where the incident occurred as an “interesting one”.

“Interesting characters coming in and out and it was only leased a couple of months ago,” he said.

“I saw the police sitting there when I got up this morning.

“We always feel safe on a main street, because people come and go all the time. I’ve never seen anything like this”.
