Earlier on Tuesday, neighbour Jay Balhatchet, who witnessed paramedics helping Emma on the front lawn, said the neighbourhood woke to screams.“That’s pretty much when everyone got up, and that’s when they all saw it happen on the front lawn. The scene in Whitfield Crescent, North Lakes, where a resident died after a scuffle on the porch of her house.Whitfield Crescent was a quiet suburban street, despite police officers combing through the scene the morning after the death.
Police set up a crime scene and launched a homicide investigation, urging anyone with information or footage to come forward.“This is an incredibly sad day, and that’s the most important thing we need to acknowledge, that it is a grieving family and our thoughts are with them,” she said.
