Neighbours told 7News it was “very scary” and they were “shocked” that a stabbing occurred in the quiet cul-de-sac.
“All the neighbours know one another and they all keep an eye on one another,” one person told reporters.
Another neighbour Doris Sinclair told ABC Perth said it was really shocking and scary.
“Years ago you used to walk your dog at 8pm at night but you can’t now, your kids can’t go out the front and play,” she said
“It’s getting ridiculous. Something has to be done.”
Homicide Squad detectives are investigating the man’s death and urge anyone who was in the area at the time, or has CCTV or dashcam footage, to contact Crime Stoppers.
