Man Stabbed on Gold Coast Linked to Bandidos Motorcycle Club Max Waller has been named on social media as the victim of a Gold Coast stabbing. Police are still appealing to the public for information about the stabbing death of a 28 year-old man at Broadbeach on Sunday, the third stabbing on the Gold Coast in a week. But locals on Monday, the first morning of state school holidays, were questioning what had happened to their community. The murdered man, identified on social media and Brisbane radio as Hope Island resident Max Waller, has been described as an associate of the Gold Coast Bandidos motorcycle club. A friend found him stabbed to death in front of a Broadbeach holiday unit complex, Carmel by the Sea, just before 6am on Sunday morning. But police believe the murder occurred elsewhere as surveillance footage captured man stumbling towards the apartment complex and collapsing on the front steps, but not the altercation that led to his death. A media team found the man's iPhone in Pratten Park as SES workers helped police search the area. Police say there was likely suspicious activity in the area in the lead up to the attack and up to 15 minutes afterwards. Paramedics were called to treat the man, but he died at the scene. Tributes started flowing out through social media channels once the news became known. "RIP Max Waller... havnt seen u in years bro... just added on fb recently... i felt the need to talk to u for some reason these last few weeks, i didnt know why but now i do... i hope that gods message made it to u before u left... chur brother," one user on Facebook said. "R.I.P max waller i cant wait to get my hands on that mother f***er who did this to you love you brother," said another. Rip to my bro. Forever in our hearts your name will be ink on our skin until they bury us We will bleed for you. We will send the person to hell who did this to him if he is found," another wrote. But there were also messages of shock, anger and disappointment from residents of the Broadbeach area. "Can't believe there was a murder this morning one street from my home, Broadbeach certainly is changing," one local grandmother posted on Facebook. Local councillor Paul Taylor, who attended the murder scene on Sunday, said crime on the Gold Coast was often hyped up by the media. He said the community was as safe as it ever was, though the weekend's events were a "terrible tragedy." "You hear about one bad crime on the Gold Coast and it's beaten up, but the same thing happens and more often in Sydney and Melbourne," Cr Taylor said. I did have one tourist say yesterday they'd heard that the Gold Coast was a dangerous place - but we're still the same old Glitter Strip and we love it. Detective Superintendent David Hutchinson said police wanted information from the public. "Anybody who saw anything suspicious in the vicinity of the apartment block, or the park across the road, we would like them to speak with police," he said. Police are interested in activities between Anne and George avenues at Broadbeach and between 4am and 6am Sunday. They are also interested in anything unusual around nearby beachside Pratten Park at Broadbeach, close to the stabbing scene. The man's phone will be forensically tested, but officers were yet to find the murder weapon. Tourists visiting Broadbeach during the school holidays described the stabbing as "shocking." "I think it is a shocking occurrence and it should not be happening," one tourist told Network 10 news. Information to Crime Stoppers in 1800 333 000. With Tony Moore and AAP View Larger Map
