One man, who used to live nearby, said: “I’m not surprised it is like that round here. It isn’t bad – you aren’t scared to walk to the shop but I’m still not surprised.

“People don’t get chopped up for nothing.”

Another resident added: “It happens around here but normally further down the estate not this close.”
