She said: My friend lives here also and she gave me a call. Her friend’s children, they found the body at around 11am this morning when they were playing in the park this morning.

“It’s quite scary for us, we feel like we’re not safe anymore. I’m not really feeling comfortable. I’m not sure if I would take my children back to that park. When my friend’s kids were running around the park, that’s when they saw it. It’s really shocking.”

Another resident named Fred, said: “It’s quite unsettling, I would say. I think, before this happened, about a month ago there was a murder just down the road. I’ve never personally had any trouble around here but it is quite unsettling to know these things are going on opposite my house.”
