Dau Akueng, 15, Chol Achiek, 12, and a third friend were walking from a bus stop in Cobblebank at about 8pm on September 6 when they were set upon by a group of people.


Now, a father has revealed windows at his property and car were smashed in an early-morning attack today in the same neighbourhood following death threats made online to his teenage daughter.

“I just woke up with a fright, jumped out of bed,” Eddy told 9News.

“I could hear the screaming, I could hear the smashing, and I just instantly ran downstairs.”

Nadia, 14, was friends with both boys and has been faced with vile accusations about her association with the gang members potentially involved in the attack.

She and her family have both firmly rejected these claims.

The teenager said Chol was actually on his way to her home from basketball training when he was fatally attacked.

Police are investigating whether this attack was one of retaliation.

Nadia’s phone has been taken away to be examined.

At this stage of the investigation it is still too early to establish a motive.

No arrests have been made following the stabbing deaths of Dau and Chol.
