Their mother said she was heartbroken.

“And they wouldn’t have started a fight with those guys anyway.
“I feel like my heart has been ripped out of my chest.”
On Sunday, shocked residents of Castley Crescent in Braybrook woke to a blood- spattered crime scene.
Some described frenzied scenes in their street about 9.30pm on Saturday night.
Vi Chung’s wife Lisa was feeding their young daughter upstairs when the couple heard loud noises in the street.
Mr Chung then allegedly witnessed a car trying to “run a guy over” which is when he called triple-0.
“They starting yelling, screaming and swearing at each other, it started getting louder and louder,” he claimed.
“They were running, someone got out a metal pole. They were swinging it around.
“A few guys jumped out of the car and started attacking another man. They were swinging it (the weapon) around.”
The brawl then spilt on to Mr Chung’s property. One of the victims collapsed on his porch, screaming for help.
“We heard the garage door bang, he was yelling out for help ... ‘Help, please help, someone help’, the man said.”
Lisa Chung described the incident as “pretty freaky”.
“I’m glad my husband didn’t step in otherwise he might’ve been caught up in it,” she said.
“It’s pretty scary, pretty freaky.”
Neighbour Anthony Tran said he heard a “commotion.”
“I heard people, mostly men, screaming and yelling,” he said.
“I heard angry yelling. There was a car involved, I heard constant movements of the car.
“It seemed they were fighting in the car between the person in the car and a person on the street.
“I’m quite shocked … I hope they get better.”
Neighbour Paul told the Herald Sun he heard raised voices and a metal crunch.
“The car crash made me wake up to what was going on, I could hear a metal crunch when one car hit another,” he said.
“It sounded like car to car but it could’ve been something else. I heard raised voices.”
Paramedics confirmed they were called out to a disturbance around 9.30pm.
“Paramedics attended to two men with upper body injures, both were transported to hospital in a critical condition,” Ambulance Victoria spokesman John Mullen said.
