Reportedly, those people in that place (5)
I believe the answer is:
there
'in that place' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
(Other definitions for there that I've seen before include "Triumphant exclamation" , "it may be said to be comforting" , "Consoling word" , "In position" , "in that case" .)
