In a statement, the police said that investigations revealed that Calistro and family attended the Kuru Kururu Heritage Day which was hosted at the Kuru Kururu Community Centre Ground. At the event, the family consumed alcoholic beverages and participated in the heritage activities. At about 2.20 am, Calistro went to call his cousin who lives in the Swan squatting area and was with a group of males partying. Calistro, the police said, told his cousin it was time to go home, and she refused.
After Calistro insisted that they go home right away, the suspects from the group confronted him and a scuffle ensued between them. During the scuffle, one of the males from the group dealt Calistro a stab to the left side of his chest, and he ran and collapsed.
