Faletolu was fatally stabbed in the chest in what police described as a planned confrontation between two groups of youths at about 8pm on Monday night.READ MORE:A 15-year-old boy was charged with offences linked to the brawl and was released on bail on the condition he does not come within one kilometre of the showgrounds at Homebush.
The Royal Agricultural Society of NSW has announced additional security and safety measures, including heightening the police presence and "increasing the visibility of metal detectors" to avoid any further violence occurring at the show.Other security measures that were decided on include more random hand-wanding and bag checks, closing the main carnival at 9.30pm, making the twilight ticket arrival time earlier as well as increasing lighting.
"How do you get a knife into a complex like this? You would think that it would be difficult, but, things can be thrown over the fence, a knife doesn't necessarily have to be made out of metal, so it's not going to be detected by metal detectors," he said. NSW Ambulance Inspector Mark Whittaker said when paramedics arrived, Faletolu was in cardiac arrest, having suffered a traumatic chest wound.
The Royal Agricultural Society said anybody who had a Tuesday pass to the show could use it on any other day instead if they chose to.
