This woman lives nearby: "I heard it about 11.30 last night - I was taking my make-up off and saw the flashing lights outside my house.
"There was a great big fire truck and (I) looked out the window and (saw) six squad cars and a critical care ambulance.
"So I knew - and then when I saw the ticker tape at 7 o'clock this morning I reckoned it was a crime scene".
