Neighbour Wayne St John, 64, said he heard a woman screaming before he ran outside to see if she needed help.

“She was screaming out on the driveway of the house,” Mr St John said.

“There was a woman with her who was on the phone, and then silence.

“Then police and ambulance turned up, and the detectives,” he said.
