A 16-year-old boy has died and two other men are fighting for their lives following a stabbing incident at a house party in Ryde, in the north-west of Sydney, overnight.
Police were called to the home and discovered seven males and a female suffering stab wounds. The boy was rushed to Westmead Hospital in critical condition, but died early this morning.
Two men, aged 16 and 21, remain in Westmead Hospital in serious condition, while two 16-year-old males, a 17-year-old male and an 18-year-old female are in stable condition at Royal North Shore hospital.
Reports indicate that there were close to 50 guests at the party, which was taking place at a house several doors down from Ryde Police Station.
Emergency services crews were originally called to attend to an unconscious patron, but called for police backup when they discovered multiple stabbing victims.
The riot squad was called in to deal with agitated guests, and police this morning have said that they are treating the boy’s death as a homicide, as they continue to speak to witnesses.
