Villagers
said the killer was one of six men who had earlier attempted to rob
a home in neighbouring Kaneville.
Barbot
Paul, 53, of 312 Second Field, Kaneville, said the six had earlier
that night surrounded his yard.
He
said he returned home around 20:05 h and checked his yard as was his
custom.
He
said that as he was heading to the back of the yard, he heard the
rustling of leaves and the sound of someone walking in the yard.
Less than a minute after, his neighbour’s daughter began shouting
“Thief! Thief!”, he related.
“I
fired shots and they began to run through the yard”, Paul said.
He
said two of the men jumped the eastern fence, three jumped the
southern fence, and the other made his way to the front.
The
men left a green bag containing three jerseys, a tin of mace, a
Rolex wrist watch and a pair of scissors behind.
The
description given by Kaneville residents fit that of the man who
later carried out the deadly attack on the wedding house.
Another
Grove resident, Sakoor Shebalall, was severely beaten by another
gunman around 21:30 h Monday.
