Tweet Facebook Mail. The year-old returned to his home on Carey Avenue in Seaton last night after earlier spending time at Seaton Hotel. His power was switched off just before Major Crime Investigation Superintendent Des Bray said that act "lured" Phillips outside, where "he was immediately set upon by at least one person".
Bray said the attacker "unleashed a furious attack on the victim" in his front garden. We know that from the injuries. His friends, police and paramedics did what they could but he died at the scene. CCTV showed a hooded figure walking away from the home moments after the attack and dropping an object into a bin. Police later recovered a knife from that bin and it is being forensically tested. It is one of a number of potential weapons found in their searches.
Phillips' heartbroken friends paid tribute this afternoon. Bray said police had not come across a potential motive. Bray said people who were in the house and tried to help Phillips were cooperating with police. Major Crime officers, crime scene investigators and Western District detectives attended the scene overnight. Carey Avenue was closed for several hours but later reopened. Bray called for anyone in the vicinity of Carey Avenue at the time of the incident, specifically several drivers and a scooter rider caught on CCTV, or anyone with dash-cam or CCTV footage from the area, to contact Crime Stoppers.
