Murderer dies after Bournemouth killing spree

Dorset police had to shoot down a crazed murderer today, after he went on a killing rampage around Bournemouth.

Assistant Chief Constable Barry Linden ordered marksmen to shoot Pascal Tonk, 21, after he shot at a policeman, using a bow and arrow.

The maniac had been taking refuge in Talbot Combined School, after he set fire to his family home.

He did this to destroy the evidence after he de-capitated his mother, Ms Louise ‘Lulu’ Tonk, 32, and his pet German Sheppard, Laughing Gravy, by using a machete. Their charred remains were found on the ground floor of the house.

Tonk’s deadly day began at 8am, when police received reports of a break-in at the Chapel Gate Sports Centre. At 9:25am, a Dorset Police spokesperson announced the occurrence- saying that an Olympic-sized bow and arrow had been stolen from the Kieran Verdon archery range.

The perpetrator, now known as Tonk, had smashed a hole through the centre with a near-by JCB, which was being used for a near-by drainage operation.

This was followed by an incident in Horseshoe Common at 9:30am, where a dog was shot.

The Shitzu, named Bouncebackability belonged to Pippa Shufflebottom, 20, who was distraught. She told how Tonk circled her on a bicycle before shooting the dog, then riding off laughing, wearing a baseball cap and a ‘shaggy’ coat. The mobile hairdresser described Tonk as ‘extremely weird’. A vetinary ambulance arrived on the scene to treat the dog’s injuries.

Tonk then went on to shoot an arrow into the eye of Mels Ratue, a Belgian national, as he got off a bus, just outside St. Augustyns Church, Landsdowne, at 10:35. Medics were called to the scene immediately, but the 32-year-old was pronounced dead immediately. His friend, Dennis Landsbert, who was with him at the time was said to be ‘devastated’ at the father-of-two’s sudden death. Both men were on their way to a bonsai convention. Police helicopters caught Tonk fleeing the scene after the incident.

This is when Tonk set fire to his house- which firemen discover at 10am. It took 19 fire engines one and a half hours to end the blaze. Chief Fire Officer, Bill ‘Rocky’ Staten and Dorset Police Constable Alan Rose both confirmed the fire was set by Tonk.

Dorset Police are still investigating all evidence in the case, even with the death of Mr Tonk. It has also been confirmed that Chapel Gate Sports Centre is open for business as usual.
