A man wanted for the suspected murder of his neighbor was found dead in a vehicle on Sunday, Jan. 14, according to police.
The 55-year-old, who went missing two days prior, was wanted by police in connection to the murder of Shane Gilmer, 30, and the attempted murder of his pregnant girlfriend Laura Sugden, 27, on Friday, Jan. 12.
“He'd gone round a month before and threatened them to keep the noise down,” one neighbor, who was unnamed, told the newspaper.
“They were apparently being too noisy. Shane and Laura lived next door to him, but hadn’t been there long. This Anthony Lawrence guy wasn’t happy about the noise,” he said.
“It sounds like a horror movie,” he added.
Gilmer later died at the hospital while Sugden suffered from non-life threatening injuries. Both she and her unborn child were in a stable condition on Jan. 15, reported the news station.
“Shane’s family continues to be supported by our specially trained officers and we would ask for consideration as they come to terms with their tragic loss,” police said.
