Police struggling to find Easter Show killer
<p dir="ltr">The knife-wielding killer who stabbed a teenager at the Easter Show is still on the loose and police struggle to pin him down. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Uati “Pele” Faletolu was fatally stabbed at the family event in front of hundreds of horrified onlookers on Monday night. </p>
<p dir="ltr">The 17-year-old was treated by paramedics at the scene but did not make it. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Police are still trying to hunt down Uati's killer but are struggling due to the dark and grainy CCTV, <a href="https://7news.com.au/news/nsw/girlfriend-of-sydney-royal-easter-show-stabbing-victim-is-reportedly-pregnant-with-his-child-c-6434221" target="_blank" rel="noopener">7News</a> reported.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Witnesses with video footage are urged to come forward and assist police with investigations. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Since the heartbreaking incident, the Show’s organisers have installed more flood lights and bag screening to ensure everyone’s safety.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Uati was on his break from working at the Show’s "Break Dance" ride on Monday when he became involved in a confrontation around 8pm.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The altercation included two groups of males, who police believe could be from rival postcode gangs in Sydney’s west, and are suspected to be behind the brawl.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Uati was from Doonside, which has the postcode 2767, and friends have told police the people behind his death were from Mt Druitt, with the postcode 2770.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Police from the Homicide Squad and Auburn Police Command are investigating reports that Uati was linked to the 67 street gang, which recently clashed with Mt Druitt’s Ready for Anything group.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Strike Force Calle has been formed to determine whether the Easter Show incident was connected to a stabbing in Western Sydney last week and Uati’s 15-year-old relative has since been charged with carrying a knife in public and affray over his alleged involvement in the brawl.</p>
<p dir="ltr">He was granted conditional bail in court on Tuesday, in light of his lack of criminal record and “minor role” in the alleged incident.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It was also revealed that Uati was due to become a father, with his girlfriend’s sister confirming the pregnancy in a post on Instagram. </p>
<p dir="ltr">“The rumours are true. My beautiful sister has been blessed with his baby,” Bree Piliae wrote in the post which showed the ultrasound as well as a photo of the couple.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“Congratulations big sis, with you every step of the way. Can’t wait to meet you mini Pele.” </p>

<p dir="ltr">“Lost for words. Hands down one of the worst things to see happen to someone you love right in front of you,” she wrote in a story post.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“I’m traumatised. My heart is aching for you so much my brother. I love and miss you so much. I’ll never forget you.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“Such a good guy, beautiful smile and heart. You’re in God’s hands now my brother, I love you.”</p>
