The victim, described by The Guardian Australia as a 30-year-old man, was found with stab wounds to his torso and died at the scene despite assistance from paramedics.\n\nAccording to The Guardian, the 13-year-old was arrested on Sunday and faces additional charges of breach of bail and an unrelated robbery offence. A 16-year-old boy was also arrested at a home in Cabramatta and charged with murder and being an accessory after the fact.\n\nSuperintendent Brendan Gorman stated that a bladed instrument was seized at the scene and noted that approximately a dozen people were in the area during the incident. He described the event as a horrendous and concerning incident while investigations continue to determine if the attack was random or targeted.",
