‘Brutal’ brawlers Actions described as “brutal“ and “disappointing“ and a “ruined birthday party“ are being investigated by police after a brawl broke out at Paradise Valley Hotel in Clematis last month. The incident took place on 29, July, at around 11pm in which two carloads of youths got into conflict, with footage eventually leaked online. This was not an isolated event, as a fire broke out in the early hours of the following morning where building materials were allegedly set on fire a mere hours after the
brawl. Police are continuing investigations, with a person of interest, but are calling on the public for help. Recovering from both events, the Clematis venue reopened to the public on Friday 4 August. Part-owner Mark Protheroe said he was “blown away” by the support from the community and thanked locals for helping the business get back on track so swiftly. Read more on page 3
