One local said they had ‘not seen so many police cars in one place’ as officers descended on the scene and are now hunting for two men suspected of being involved.
Investigators are also reviewing CCTV footage as they try to identify two men aged in their mid-to-late 20s, the Courier Mail reports.
One of the men was last seen with a beige knitted sweater and neck tattoos while the other was described as having black hair and wearing sunglasses and a bright yellow high-vis shirt.
Police are believed to have tracked one man to Sanctuary Cove, a nearby luxury resort, and have set up road blocks as they continue investigations.
A local reported seeing a ‘suspicious looking’ man running across the fairway at one of the resort’s two golf courses, adding that he ‘definitely wasn’t playing golf’.
Another claimed police were stopping and searching every vehicle leaving a shopping centre just metres away from the crime scene.
Anyone with information has been urged to contact police.
Paramedics desperately tried to save the man however he succumbed to his injuries which has sparked a massive manhunt for the knifeman (pictured, paramedics at the scene)
