"I HEARD DURSINE LADY SAY 'DON'T DO IT, DON'T DO IT' THREE TIMES

A.L., who has been the couple's neighbor for many years, said, "I heard Dursine Lady say 'Don't do it, don't do it' three times early in the morning. We thought the door was broken, but it turned out that the sound was a gunshot. When the police and ambulances arrived, we learned the truth about the incident. We couldn't believe it. Dursine Lady had cancer and had been receiving treatment for 4 months. She had a bowel obstruction and had surgery in 4 places, she just came back from the hospital yesterday. They were both very good neighbors, decent families. We couldn't believe it. We have been very good neighbors for a long time," he said.
