A suspected double murderer has been shot dead by armed police gunmen at Saint Marks Primary School, Wallisdown following a series of attacks around Bournemouth today.
Police tracking helicopters were used to follow the suspect, who can now be named as Pascal Tong, aged 20.
They negotiated with him to lower his crossbow bolt, previously stolen from Chapel Gate Sports Centre, he did not comply and as a result was shot from a long range.
The fire-filled house on Pine Road, Winton, is now under control. It can be revealed it was the home of Shaz Tong, the mother of the suspect, who was found dead and decapitated with extensive burn injuries.
The suspect was seen zooming away from the incident and shouting “very nasty language” as fire-fighters arrived at the scene.
Fireman, Rocky Robinson said: “It is absolute inferno, the house is burning in a crazy way.”
One of his victims, Mallini Rattue, was a father of two who died after being shot in the eye with an arrow in Chasedown, Bournemouth.
He was travelling to Bournemouth from Belgium for the Bonsai International Show.
A friend and fellow Bonsai tree grower, Dennis Landbert aged 62 said: “I’m in shock…it’s a very sad day.”
This attack was linked to an earlier break-in at the Chapel Gate Sports Centre, near Bournemouth Airport.
A spokesperson for Dorset Police said: “Nasty, threatening graffiti has been sprayed on the walls and an apparent theft of sports equipment has occurred”
A standard Olympic crossbow bolt was stolen from the John Verdon Archery Centre and this same weapon was used on all the victims of today’s attacks.
One witness described it as a “William Tell contraption”.
Forensics investigated the crime scene, looking for DNA and fingertips.
Prior to this incident, a Norfolk Terrier was shot by the “maniac” riding his scooter.
Pippa Shufflebottom, the owner of Bouncebackability, was clipping the dog’s hair in the park at Horseshoe Common when the gun was fired.
She said: “People like that are sick.”
Bouncebackability is making a good recovery and is currently being looked at by a vet.
Assistant Chief Constable Alan Rose said there will be a full investigation due to the circumstances of Tong’s death.
