Bloodbath at Keelan Court Flats – Stabbing Shocks Southsea Residents
A gruesome scene greeted residents at Keelan Court, Richmond Road, Southsea, as large pools of blood stained the entrance lobby of the block of flats. One unnamed tenant revealed a stabbing had occurred overnight, with the victim rushed to hospital.
Bloody Chaos in the Lobby
Blood spattered walls, floors, and doors have left the building looking like a “bloodbath,” according to locals. A resident said: “I was woken around 12:30am by shouting, banging, and slamming doors. When I came down this morning, I saw the person bleeding badly on the landing. It all looked very serious.”
Police cordoned off the scene, sealing access to the flats. Pools of blood lay next to the lift area, and stains marked every step of the hallway. Officers and paramedics were on-site early today, maintaining a tight lid on details as the investigation unfolds.
Dark History Haunts Keelan Court
Keelan Court isn’t new to tragedy. This is the second police lockdown in just four years. The flats were the grim setting of the 2012 murder of 30-year-old homeless man David Guy, whose dismembered body parts were found along Southsea seafront.
David Hilder, dubbed the “body-in-the-bag killer,” lived at Keelan Court. He is currently serving 12 years for that murder. Shocking reports say Hilder once cycled through Southsea with his victim’s decapitated head in a butcher’s bike basket, haunting the quiet neighbourhood’s memory.
Police Tight-Lipped as Residents Fear New Violence
Last night’s chaos—shouting, loud banging, and door slams—has rattled locals. Yet Hampshire Police remain tight-lipped, refusing to reveal any details about the stabbing or suspects.
Authorities have yet to release an official statement as the bloodstained mystery unfolds at Southsea’s troubled Keelan Court.
