The three individuals on the street dodge and weave around the fireworks before rushing into the property to confront the attackers.  

It seems a firework explodes inside the house as they do, with the three individuals from the street disappearing through the door shortly after the explosion.  

Police later reported that they discovered a body in the same housing estate when they were called to Maree Road.  

One Robert McNally was found inside a property on Maree Road with serious injuries, being pronounced dead at the scene.
