"This is just a tragic situation where our victim here is just a good Samaritan who was trying to do the right thing. He's intervened, tried to protect this 14-year-old schoolboy, hasn't been aggressive at all, tried to remove him from the scene, and as a result of his interaction, he's now lost his life."
"A group of passersby, including a 22-year-old Mernda man, stepped in to intervene after a group of teens set upon a 14-year-old boy. The passersby tried to diffuse the situation, with the man taking the boy and walking him away from the situation and outside the train station."
"Those four offenders followed both of them and then, in what could only be described as a savage attack, assaulted the 22-year-old male physically, both fists, kicking, and they used edged weapons."
