A grandmother identified only as Julie by the newspaper said: ‘There were a lot of ­druggos here. We just had some people evicted because they were breaking and entering. They were fighting all day long.’

She said that is why the cameras were put in.      

The building was originally built for people over 55 years old but younger people moved into the units that the older residents couldn’t. 

Police have declared the death suspicious and are hunting for the killer of the South Tamworth mum.

Investigators are looking into reports a man was seen running from the unit, according to the Northern Daily Leader.
