It is understood there was no weapon involved.

A neighbour who called Triple-0 said he heard men shouting about 8pm.

Another neighbour said a man’s body was placed under a sheet on the driveway before being taken away.

Belmont Rd was closed for several hours while paramedics and police responded.
