00:00I'm here in Beaumont Street in Hamilton, now that's part of suburban Newcastle.
00:07This street here is popular with foodies, a restaurant strip, but in the early hours
00:11of this morning it became a crime scene.
00:14Police say at 2.40am they were called to reports of a stabbing here in Beaumont Street near
00:21the corner of Lindsay Street.
00:23Now on arrival they say they found a man in his twenties, paramedics were here and they
00:29tried to revive him, but he died in hospital.
00:33Now police, with the help of the homicide squad, are investigating.
00:37They've spent this morning combing the area for clues, door knocking businesses, asking
00:43if there's any CCTV vision, as well as collecting forensic samples, blood spots, etc. near the
00:50crime scene.
00:51So this street, normally a bustling street, is off limits today.
00:55As I said, a crime scene declared, forensic officers really looking for clues as to what
01:01happened and when.
