Neighbours tell of what they heard
An eyewitness has told the Examiner what he saw in the early hours of the morning.
The 46-year-old father-of-two, who has given a statement to the police, said: “There was an altercation around 12.30am.
“A man appeared to be inebriated, he was completely out of it and was shouting at the top of his voice.
“It sounded like a domestic situation because there was a verbal exchange just after 1am when a woman said to this man and another one: ‘Calm down and get yourself into the house.’”
Another neighbour told how he woke later to hear a man making a “dreadful moaning sound” outside.
Three officers at the scene
