Southeast London neighbourhood shaken after teens charged in fatal weapons fight
New A 27-year-old man died of his injuries in hospital following violent incident early Sunday morning Image | Breton Park Crescent and Manitoulin Drive Caption: A 27-year-old man died after suffering serious injuries in a weapons fight that ensued near Breton Park Crescent and Manitoulin Drive early morning Sunday. A 15-year-old boy and a 17-year-old boy from London are facing second-degree murder charges in the case. (Isha Bhargava/CBC) Residents of a southeast London neighbourhood say they're trying to piece together what could have led to a violent incident that left a 27-year-old man dead and two teen boys charged with second-degree murder over the weekend. Police say they found a man with serious life-threatening injuries in the area of Breton Park Crescent and Manitoulin Drive, near Fairmont Park, at around 1:40 a.m. on Sunday, after receiving multiple 911 calls from neighbours about a group of people fighting with weapons. "Basically, a whole bunch of police cars and noise swarmed the neighbourhood, and I didn't see it until the next morning when I went out and all the neighbours were gathered around and they had the area cordoned off," said Chris Rawlings, who has lived on Breton Park Cres. for almost 60 years. "It's been pretty strange, not something that's happened around here, so it's a pretty rare occurrence for this street. You don't hear about [these incidents] very often." The victim was taken to hospital, where he later died. A 15-year-old boy and 17-year-old boy, both from London, were arrested and jointly charged with second-degree murder in the case, police said. The pair cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. It's not clear how or if the parties were known to each other. CBC News went to the area on Tuesday where several neighbours said they witnessed a group of young men fighting outside a house on Manitoulin Drive, but didn't know much about the individuals involved. "It was a fairly young group of people who lived at the house," said Rawlings. "They kept to themselves. I'd walk my dogs past them and say, 'Hi,' and there were no problems." Sherri Hornblower lives a few doors down from Rawlings, and although she and her family weren't in town over the weekend, the mom of two young sons said she was shocked to learn that teenagers were charged in the incident. "It's very sad and terrifying to know it happened just a few doorsteps away from us. In the nine years we've lived here, there's never been anything like that," said Hornblower. "It's very concerning, and we're worried for [our kids'] safety, because they walk around and ride their bikes out and about, but since this happened, we are more hesitant in letting them out." Police are asking anyone who witnessed the incident, any suspicious activity, or has surveillance or dashcam video from the area at the time to contact them or Crime Stoppers. "Even the smallest piece of information could be vital to this investigation," police said. The accused were scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday.

Byron Bay safe despite alleged assaults, police say
Police are assuring residents and tourists that Byron Bay is safe despite recent violent incidents. Two homeless men were allegedly involved in a fight metres away from a Jonson Street cafe filled with people at about 9:30am on Tuesday. Tweed -Byron Police crime manager Matt Zimmer said several onlookers rushed in and restrained a 38-year-old man who was allegedly using a softball-sized rock to bash the head of a 28-year-old man. He said that according to witnesses the alleged attack continued after the younger man became motionless. "This was quite a confronting scene in a very busy area and I want to acknowledge those members of the community who very bravely risked their own safety in front of their own families," Detective Inspector Zimmer said. He said those who intervened likely saved the man's life. Inspector Zimmer said police were hoping to speak with the alleged victim, who regained consciousness on Wednesday afternoon after being put in an induced coma at Gold Coast University Hospital. He said the alleged attacker remained under police guard at Tweed Valley Hospital with minor injuries and would most likely be facing charges once he was released. It is the second serious incident in the northern NSW town in the last three weeks. A 25-year-old man was taken to hospital with serious head injuries after he was attacked in a car park behind the main street shops early on June 21. A witness told the ABC she saw a six young men carry out the attack. Police said the investigation was ongoing and that no charges had been laid. The victim of the attack has been recovering in hospital and was due to undergo surgery today. Detective Inspector Zimmer said the two assaults were unrelated and had no bearing on the safety of Byron Bay as a whole. "These are isolated incidents, so in terms of general community safety it has no impact of the general community," he said. After the June assault Byron Shire Mayor Sarah Ndiaye said the council would conduct an audit on areas of concern. "Unfortunately Byron has always had a bit of an underbelly in that sense, where we do have a higher rate than we should, or want to, of assaults," she said. Federal Member for Richmond Justine Elliot has promised $1 million each for the Byron, Tweed and Ballina shires to spend on security measures. Cr Ndiaye said she wanted part of the funding to spent on lighting and cameras in the car park where the assault occurred.
