Press release regarding murder in Sundowner last night

At approximately 19:36 it is alleged that Mr Keith Ward (58) was returning to his residence in Sundowner. His wife was in their house with three children aged 17, 13 and 2 when she heard a noise and on investigating she saw a male through the kitchen window. He allegedly pointed a firearm at her.

She ran with the children to the main bedroom and on the way they heard Mr Ward shouting for help and a shot went off. She locked the door of the bedroom and pressed the panic button.
