EYEWITNESS: 'CHINESE GIRL COVERED IN BLOOD'

Neighbour John Belgrove 46, said: "I was in my workshop when I heard sirens and saw police everywhere.

"There was a Chinese girl sitting on a pavement – she was in her pyjamas and they were covered in blood. I could see she was sobbing and in a terrible state.”

"I helped the police block off the road, I heard them say that one person was dead and several others badly hurt."

Builder Mr Belgrove said he believed the casualties were Chinese men who worked at the takeaway, which was sealed off by police.

'31 EMERGENCY VEHICLES AT SCENE'

Local builder and resident on Baglan Street John Belgrove told ITV Wales he was working at home when he heard "a load of police sirens".

He went on: "My wife came home from shopping and said 'Have you seen the amount of police cars out the front?' We counted 31 emergency vehicles and we saw the air ambulance on Baglan field."

"For somebody who lives just a few doors away, it's quite alarming. I grabbed some cones and helped assist police cordon off the road. It was absolute chaos - vehicle after vehicle come in."

"I've got children and it's a bit of a shock - I suppose it's a bit difficult to put into words."

We had just passed through Ynyswen, when police vans, cars and paramedics flew past us going in the other direction.
The family have only been there for about three years, so I've been told.
What an awful thing to have happened to the young girl.

Absolutely terrible!


It is reported that there are a number of other casualties too.


Other reports I've seen is that it was some sort of family feud, or something to do with a business arrangement and this Chinese restaurant is linked with another one called 'yummy yummy' or something...

Too bad. That's the only restaurant that serves sushi within 100-miles.

Poor girl, possibly in the middle of a family feud? stabbed to death at 16 years old.
Tragic.

Sushi is not Chinese...

There's a lot of takeaways along that road. Its a string of villages that ended up joined up over the years, the Yummy Yummy is up the valley a bit in what is probably Treherbert by then.
