Murder On My Frontyard!

Oh my gawd! I thought my suburb was safe until today when I learned that a heinous crime of murder has been commited right on my frontyard down the street! This is so sad for the murdered victim and his family.

The murdered man was a solicitor who had his office just down the street in my suburb. On Monday night he went back to his office around 8.30 pm with his son to print off his son's assignment when they noticed the front door's window was broken into and there were signs that someone's been trying to set the place on fire.


The solicitor went to the back of the shop to investigate but was confronted by the intruder. Witnesses said argument was heard before shots were fired! He staggered a few yards before collapsing at the nearby train station.

I went to have a look at the shop front and saw the small broken window on the door and there were signs the police had already gone through the nearby windows dusting for fingerprints. There were flowers laid on the front door by friends or family members but I didn't want to take any close-up shots of the place coz I think that would be disrespectful of the dead on my part just so I could blog on it!

Anyway I feel sorry for the wife and children of the deceased lawyer. Police says it could be a disgruntled client. Being a lawyer can be a dangerous job if you deal with criminals on a daily basis I supposed.

How sad indeed.... I hope the police will be able to detect the criminal and put him/her/they where he/she/they belong... behind bars.

Sigh... Shit happens.

Perhaps, he defended a criminal well and got him off scott-free?
someone must be really pissed with him to take his life.

mei: yes indeed..i feel for the family he left behind..

SA: i'm not sure about that one..i think the son went home to get help when the father went to investigate so he din see the killing.

5xmom: the little kid is a universtity student but nevertheless still would be traumatised but i saw him on tv & he looked quite calm & composed.

king's wife: yaloh, no one should investigate bulgary or anything lidat by himself thus the tragic circumstances.

anonymous: he was more into family law so ppl think its a disgruntled father who lost his family to the ex-wife maybe..i oso dun know lah!
