He added: “I saw the ambulances at the front of the block.
“There was a man who was screaming and shouting — he kept shouting ‘she is dead’.
“The police came afterwards — there were about five cars there in total. It was pretty harrowing to hear it all and then to find out that a woman was dead was a tragedy as well.

He said: “There were two ambulances and four police cars and a big white van at the scene.
