Sydney CBD in lockdown after stabbing

[Melbpunter69]

So decided to pop into have a quick massage at a massage shop in Clarence St this afternoon only to come out into the street and it being in lockdown as there was a stabbing that occurred around the corner. Emergency services all over the place around Clarence, King & York St. Apparently a lady was stabbed in the back and another lady found dead in an apartment block in Clarence St.

[dotcumdotinyou]

Yeah, I was at Market St and the cops blocked the road and were directing traffic away from the area.

[Lostinblonde]

holy sydney is not safe

[aussiegaigin]

The deceased lady was described in the news as a "sex worker". Another of the victims appeared to be Asian.

[storry_teller]

So sad. I was hoping no one in serious injuries.

[chrissyboy]

There are some many private ML/WL working out of CBD apartments. I use to rent an apartment down near the rock/Barangaroo and in our unit block there would of been at least a dozen private WL. Many complaints from other residents. Yes very sad either way, no one deserves to die like that. RIP to the young lady.

In the video, the woman victim looks Asian.

[Lostinblonde]

oh my god, a sex worker???

[DanThePuntingMan]

RIP to the young lady that passed away.

[carmen farquis]

I think it was very unfair of the news to show the girls. They've already had a bad enough day and now their family and friends are finding out they're sex workers.

[des888]

The news never showed the girls

[carmen farquis]

The news never showed the girls
channel 9 did but I suppose people would know when they say sex workers anyway.

[O yea]

The news never showed the girls

[Lostinblonde]

not fun was close to working place

[des888]

The girl on the stretcher is a seperate vicitim

[corvus]

The attacker had a mental illness apparently and apparently had terrorist ideaology.

I think this should Be a warning to all privates to increase their security or at least arm themselves with a capsicum spray something.

That's not sex worker victim. She was not showed.

[aussiegaigin]

The girl in the apartment was claimed to be a sex worker. The girls on stretchers were not identified as such, and they were attacked some distance away.

It has only been pointed out that all the victims were female.

[Brothelcreeper]

The girl on the stretcher was just randomly stabbed in the back by the knifeman in a pub.

The WL killed was known to the knifeman as he made a booking with her and she was only 21 years old. RIP young lady. Too young to die and in such a tragic way.

Knifeman is a cunt and I hope he gets his balls knifed off by Mr Big in Silverwater jail when he gets locked up there for a long time.

[moby]

RIP to the young victim.
Violence against anyone, particularly defenceless women, is abhorrent

Even if mentally unwell, using a knife against innocent people crosses a line

[unfinishedSentenc]

Was around the area, not fun seeing police as I was having my lunch. RIP to that young lady

[moving4ward]

More on SMH this morning.

There was also an article in the stingy daily telegraph which have to pay for access. Title was mentioned the guy book the girl and then stabbed her.

Can't believe this happen right under my noise....

[krnboy]

The sex worker used the website Locanto to advertise her services and rented a unit worth $700 a week according to the news. 104 Clarence St.

Has anyone booked the WL before or know of her?

[Rodger10]

RIP- give a brief condolences to that lady. Be a man and human being first, then punting story.

[rooter]

The guy is obviously a psycho.
All they can do is lock him up never to be released.
A tragedy for the young girl and her family to have her life cut so short.
It highlights the dangers that WLs face every day - especially the private ones.

That is expensive in the block. Care to share the news source?

Never mind, find it on news.com.au

Nice you found it

[CountryPunter]

Credit to the guys that didn't consider their own safety and managed to restrain the knife man before he hurt anyone else. Very gutsy thing to do and they fully deserve any awards they may receive.

[AHLUNGOR]

The whole incident just highlighted the danger facing all the private WL/ML on a daily basis - how could they protect themselves and improve their own safety and security?

[heianth]

This reminds of serial killers decades ago who targeted WLs because back then, no one cared about those girls.

From memory, didn't something similar happen out Parramatta way where a guy booked and threatened the WL and took her money?

Real shame to hear about the 21 year old. Her life was still ahead of her.

Surely a lot of private ML/WL will think twice about it after this incident...

[Riff888]

It could happen in a shop as well.
There are no metal detectors or any bag searches that I can remember. A few shops don't even have intercom to the rooms or even buzzers or emergency buttons.

[Hogrider]

News. Com . Au
Has the victims photo ..
quite tragic the incident is ..

[krnboy]

wow she is Caucasian and pretty as well. somehow I had a mental picture that she was asian

Didn't we all. We all thought that since Locanto is filled with Asian WL

[SavageXXX]

So the working lady caucasian or asian? How the fuck a mental illness can make a phonecall to book a working lady ? If you can make a booking then you are not mental illness , so what by saying he is mental illness so he can get a lighter sentences ? What a piece of shit cunt man

condolences to the victim(s) and family. As this thread should be about this woman her death. It’s a tragedy.

While it highlight the risks that sex workers can and do face, Violence Is pervasive and does not respect or acknowledge occupation nationality gender race sex identity postcode .

What happens to the perpetrator? Will be assessed, and whether he is fit for trial now or at some future time , Aside from any extenuating circumstance, that may or may not include his diagnosis, it will be clear here likely be tried for murder aggravated assault and other charges.

As for discussing mental health, it should be done with clarity and knowledge.

It’s a broad big issue affects many in so many varied ways, it’s not always The case a person with a mental health issue is deranged and psychotic. Nor does it mean a person who is having an episode can’t act out and follow some formed plan.

Personally I’m in no way finding excuse for the person’s behaviour, and they will live with the consequence of the actions.and formal and rough justice may prevail. However also have no vitriol , shock on finding the victim was Caucasian not Asian , or concerned about seeing police during my day or curious about locanto ads I get perverse curiosity . We are all party to it and succumb

However my condolences to the victims family and sad a life is taken.

P.S I agree this is not a punt story

[Akeem75]

Well said. I agree completely

Well said there. Totally agree

[kingwally]

I have just seen photos of the poor young victim, and I hope she rests in peace. That was an absolute savage act by a nutcase that should never have been walking the streets, and it really sickens me that this could happen. I have only ever seen photos on this forum and I have never been with her ever , but the photos of Shelby from Artarmon look very similar to the young victim.

[cuteguy]

Yes she was Caucasian and it was mentioned on the news tonight that she travelled frequently. Working as a sex worker would have given her this opportunity. I wonder what her family felt after it was made public that she was working as a sex worker. It must have been a real shock to them.

[sukeong]

wow she is Caucasian and pretty as well. somehow I had a mental picture that she was asian

Probably cuz you hang out here too much. Plenty of cauc WL in sydney actually. My assumption was actually she was more likely cauc wl. If the stabber was asian on the other hand....


Anyway RIP to the young girl. Hope she is in a better place now

[storry_teller]

Haven’t met her but you’re right. Looks very similar.

I just saw the roster for Artarmon and thank fuck that Shelby is on for today, so that is good news.

I was thinking how unlucky that poor girl was that he randomly booked her. It has since come out that he had been a client of hers before. So she must have come to mind when he decided on his first innocent victim. With the empathy for wl’s that posters and visitors to this site have I can sense that this horrible crime has affected you all more than usual.

In the confrontation in the street I’d back a chair over a guy with a knife. It is both a shield at more than arms length, negating the knife guy’s own reach, with four stiff wooden leg weapons on the end of it. One of those punched straight into his front teeth would have him thinking twice. It wouldn’t have been any better for him into his throat or eye. A milk crate is more a very effective light and manoevreable defensive object, not much of a weapon, although swung into a hand it would really bite. Did you see the metal pole the firey had. It was a crowbar on one end with a few metal spikes on the other. That would have broken his arm in one swing, though it wouldn't have had the distance or shield advantages of a chair.

In fact he was well out weaponed with a barrier of guys forming a perimeter around him. Who was the guy that took him to the ground and how was that done? He was the one that moved into the safety zone and made the final difference and ended the standoff. Or was it a group effort or a couple of the guys that did it simultaniously? Why don’t journalists ever ask the obvious questions?

As has been mentioned elsewhere if this had been America the nutcase could have bought any type of gun he wanted from the local walmart and caused carnage. Here it is a knife, and a chair beats a knife pretty easily.

I liked what the police commissioner had to say. Instead of the wimpy ‘don’t get involved” shite previously run out he said that in the future you aren’t going to just face the police, you are going to face the citizenry. The mood has changed I think and the natural instincts of men to protect the tribe, to protect the innocent, are emerging.

[Lostinblonde]

i had a weird feeling that i met her before, oh shit...

[Lostinblonde]

was trying to find her ads on escort babe but couldnt locate it now, this is daunting...

[Taragon]

Terrible. Quite a lot of coverage in the news. Scarlet blue right?

[Jamez11]

I'm not sure how it really matters what nationality she was, where her ad was, the adress, if anyone has seen her etc... a young woman has been murdered, these comments are extremely insensitive.

Please just let this thread go

[Lostinblonde]

oh my god, nightmare

[moving4ward]

You mean Scarlet Alliance? They are not Scarlet blue. Scarlet Alliance is an association for sex worker.

something don't see much people mention..... Do you guys feel an alarming amount of material and detail was published about the girl? I am almost certain there must be some exclusive deal done. How sick is that if I am right! Cash in with someone close to you in such a tragic death.

Also flowers and candles has been coming and I think someone organised a candle memorial today evening just when I was on my way home. Thats is a heart warming act and make us proud of this city.

So sad to learn of this tragic & devastating incident in Sydney after i've just return from NYC with a client.
I agree it can be a very dangerous job for us girls not knowing who is going to walk through the door next. I guess there are dangers with all types of jobs.
Still a young and beautiful soul has been taken way too young.

It's easy to fantasise about what you would do in that situation, and to be honest you never really know until you're there and you're paralysed watching in unfold. But if I was the driver of the car he jumped on, I'd have hit reverse, dumped him onto the street then into drive and ran him over. Normally wouldn't condone that but when you've got a blood soaked frenzied nutter wielding a knife there's an element of doing the community a favour. I've been in an armed robbery several years ago and I was held at gunpoint. It was over 20 years ago and I can still walk you through it as though it was yesterday. It changed my perspective on life and what action you would take when confronted. I guess the point is that innocent people going about their business end up in confronting situations.


I'm not sure how it really matters what nationality she was, where her ad was, the adress, if anyone has seen her etc... a young woman has been murdered, these comments are extremely insensitive.

I think it's a natural reaction to wonder if you knew her or have had contact with her. Checking her ad or address to see if it was a girl you'd been with is not insensitive - it's just checking whether that person had crossed paths with you in some way . While we engage in a transaction or a service with the girls, there is a bit more to it and we can all reflect through a prayer or thought (whatever is your thing) about the loss. We are all part a wider community but we are part of a narrower community of MLs, WLs, escorts, punters etc. Not only has this happened to a beautiful young girl whose life was full of promise for a future - its happened to a member of our community. She's not an anonymous statistic to those here.

Obviously an AR would be distasteful, but I see no harm in expressing the human need for answers about who she was.

And Jamez11, I say all that with the utmost respect to your point of view. No criticism or arguments here.

[scottie222]

My thoughts with the victims and their families.

Whole life ahead of her.

No disrespect for the poor young lady, but it needs to be considered that the other victim was NOT a sex worker and could easily have died too. It would seem that being an ordinary office worker is equally as dangerous.

RIP to the innocent woman

Know nothing about this guy, but if he is another drug affected lunatic, rather thsn a having a prinary diagnosis of a psychiatric condition like schizophrenia, then I have zero sympathy for his likely defence of mental illness
