At least three men who broke into a home in Sydney’s west and stabbed a man to death were heard cheering after the violent home invasion.
The 36-year-old was stabbed by a group of men who forced their way into his home on Livingston Avenue, Dharruk, in Sydney’s west on Friday night.
The group of men who committed the assault threw furniture onto the veranda before throwing a step ladder at the home and making a getaway in a dark colour hatchback.
An unnamed neighbour told the Daily Telegraph that they heard the smashing but didn’t think anything of it as ‘things like that happen all the time’.
