OMG Turi that's horrible. I assume since you didn't say, he wasn't from your area?
It appears to be unprovoked, and if that's the case that makes it even more coldblooded than it obviously was. The fact that the pub is nearby could be a factor, but by the report, the police didn't see a connection. What a tragedy.
The fact that it's right by your window, even if it's unusual, is really alarming. Be careful.

Just watched the news video clip asking for witnesses to come forward. Maybe it's because it's blocked off but it doesn't seem to be a populated area which could be why they got away with it.
