As per News.com.au, Brisbane Region Detective Superintendent Andrew Massingham said officers were confronted by “large amounts of blood” on the staircase of the property at Coolidge Street when they arrived at the residence around 9.40 am and called the scene "traumatic" due to the pool of blood. Andrew said, "The scene was confronting, it has been described as a frenzied attack on the two deceased persons. From the evidence within that area, the weapons seized and the observations of the deceased, it was quite evident the attack could be described accurately in that way."
The detective added that there had been no prior calls to police from that location and said, as per ABC, "I can also confirm that the [alleged] weapons that were located yesterday that were described as two bladed weapons are in fact a long-handled kitchen knife and a meat cleaver."
Wei, who had cuts on his arms and legs, was taken to the hospital for treatment and will later be taken for forensic investigation. As of now, the case will return to court on September 19, as per ABC.
