Detective Superintendent George Marchesini said bladed weapons have been seized and are undergoing forensic testing, and alleged that it wasn't a random attack.

"Any death is tragic, under these circumstances and takes its toll on families, on communities and people residing around that particular area," he said.

"Let's not forget first responders that attend those particular scenes."

The unit block has been cordoned off as investigations continue and police say that "no stone will be left unturned". 

Anyone with information is urged to contact police.
