NSW Police have made a fresh appeal for information relating to a fatal stabbing at the Sydney Royal Easter Show after failing to identify the person responsible due to “a lack of co-operation”.
Uati “Pele” Faletolu was stabbed in the chest on April 11 after a brawl broke out while he was on a break from working on one of the carnival rides. He died at the scene.
Speaking on Tuesday morning, NSW Police superintendent Danny Doherty said he was baffled that no witnesses in the crowd had seen who stabbed Faletolu and come forward.
“It is difficult to fathom how can someone not notice who may have been responsible for this callous murder,” he said.
“There’s been a lack of co-operation and assistance [from those involved] – whether that’s through misguided loyalty or through whatever reason – but that doesn’t help us.
“That’s disappointing, and it’s frustrating for the investigators involved, and I’m sure it’s also frustrating for the family.”

Doherty also asked anyone with footage of the brawl to come forward. He said footage already obtained by police showed multiple people filming the incident on their phones who had not yet come forward.
“They might think it’s inconsequential, but it could be incredibly important to us, and they may have captured unknowingly, or inadvertently, who was actually responsible for stabbing Pele,” he said.
