Sydney Royal Easter Show stabbing: NSW Police reveals disturbing ... (7NEWS.com.au)

New information can be revealed on the 17-year-old boy fatally stabbed in a wild brawl in front of terrified families.

“It involved a significant number of young people that appeared to be in the area at the time,” Evans said. “The Easter Show is about families attending and having a good time and the NSW Police are determined to ensure these types of events are void of violence.” Another video of the violence at the event shows police intervening in a fight between a group of girls. Detective Acting Superintendent Andrew Evans told reporters at the time that two groups of about 10 to 20 young men had been involved in a “rolling brawl” that went for at least 100-200m across the show’s carnival area. One person ends up on the ground and a group of boys appear to kick the person beneath them as screaming is heard in the background. SafeWork NSW Inspectors will continue to be a presence for the remainder of the show. Meanwhile, SafeWork NSW is investigating if the Free Fall ride should be closed for the remainder of the show after a four-year-old child was left unrestrained while the ride was in operation. A photograph on social media showed the boy sitting on the ride without a harness when it was in mid-air, while three other children on the ride were restrained. “Paramedics performed CPR and a number of other critical interventions at the scene before loading the patient for transport to Westmead Hospital,” he said in a statement. “A stabbing this year and a brawl last year, both in the rides area, there’s got to be a better security presence,” said one worker. The 15-year-old was allegedly in possession of a knife. “It may be one person, it may be a number of people.”

Massive twist in Easter Show stabbing (NEWS.com.au)

A smirking teenager who was arrested after a deadly brawl at the Sydney Royal Easter Show was the victim's younger brother, distraught friends have claimed.

Out of 3000 people, a small number of people decided to do the wrong thing,” he said. He was allegedly in possession of a knife at the time. May he Rest In Peace,” a third said. I pray for peace, love and forgiveness in Jesus’ mighty name,” she wrote to Facebook. “We believe there is someone we still need to identify that is responsible for the stabbing,” she said. “No way that’s him, he was such a nice guy. “The information we have at the moment is just in its early stages. so we are looking at additional people that were involved in last night’s attack,” she said. An Easter Show colleague also paid tribute to the late teen in the caption of a TikTok video that showed him watching the ride he was employed to help operate. Superintendent Emerton added there are trace metal detectors at the property and “guaranteed” there would be a “huge police presence” for the remainder of the show. “He [the 15-year-old] was there helping his brother, who was trying to fight for his life at the scene because he had just been stabbed in the heart,” she said. One colleague who was working with the teenage victim at the Easter Show’s Break Dance ride on the day he was fatally stabbed took to TikTok in a since-deleted video on Tuesday.

Security concerns as violence mars Easter Show for second year ... (The Sydney Morning Herald)

Uati Faletolu, 17, who was working as a ride attendant at the Easter Show, had met up with two other teens before the trio became involved in an altercation ...

Despite locating a 15-centimetre knife and a large volume of video footage posted to social media in the aftermath, police confirmed on Tuesday that no perpetrators were identified and no charges laid as a result of their investigations. Elsewhere, the Easter Show went on under a blue sky, full of crowds of young families undeterred by the previous night’s fatal violence. Unlike the controlled entrance queue often experienced at a music festival or sporting event, show-goers arriving from the railway station quickly swarmed around waiting staff members who scrambled to scan each person’s ticket as they strolled unimpeded through the gates. Police on Tuesday said it wasn’t clear whether the 17-year-old had finished his shift when he was attacked. She said there was “already a large contingency of police and security” and officers were on the scene “in a matter of seconds”. Another video clearly shows a male carrying a knife.

Teen boy dies after Easter Show stabbing (Manning River Times)

A teenage boy is dead and another seriously injured after both were stabbed at Sydney's Royal Easter Show. A brawl broke out at the crowded carnival ride area of the showground about 8pm on Monday night, NSW Police said. The 17-year-old suffered a ...

A photograph showed the boy on the ride unharnessed when it was in mid-air, while three other children on the ride were restrained. Videos on social media captured parts of the incident, including footage of boys brawling in a busy area by a lit up a Ferris wheel, as groups of teenagers ran through crowds and a woman yelled, "Oh s**t". Meanwhile, SafeWork NSW is investigating if the Free Fall ride should be closed for the remainder of the show after a four-year-old child was unrestrained while the ride was in operation. The 17-year-old boy was stabbed in the chest and died en route to Westmead Hospital and a 16-year-old boy remains in hospital with stab wounds to his leg. Organisers of the Sydney Royal Easter Show have beefed up security after a teenage boy was stabbed to death in front of crowds of revellers. "It may be one person, it may be a number of people." "What we're looking at here is two or three individuals that have gone outside the bounds of what ... is socially acceptable by bringing a knife to the Royal Easter Show. "That is the shocking fact." ""I have no doubt the NSW police force ... will be ensuring they're doing everything within their power to make sure the royal Easter Show is safe." The Chief Executive of the RAS of NSW Murray Wilton offered his condolences to the dead boy's family and apologised to patrons who witnessed the stabbing, saying it was a "horrific experience". "Someone's lost their life at our house, and it's disgraceful," Mr Wilton said on Tuesday. He defended security at the show, saying there were police on site as well as CCTV cameras, random checks and metal detectors, but said it was impossible to search the 850,000 people who attended the show over 12 days. The Royal Agricultural Society of NSW was forced to defend the family-friendly reputation of the annual show after one of its 17-year-old workers was killed on Monday night. "We believe that there is someone who we still need to identify that is responsible for the stabbing," Supt Emerton said. The adult rides were closed on Tuesday and security at the show has been ramped up with more police on site. Police Superintendent Danielle Emerton said a 15-year-old boy had been charged with intent to commit indictable offence, and custody of knife in public place.
