Suspected murderer killed in pursuit

A suspected double killer has died after police officers were forced to shoot at Talbot Combined School in Wallisdown.
Pascal Tonk, 21, was cornered with marksmen as he came out firing a crossbow bolt at the policemen.
The police officers were threatened and opened fire to detain him.
His mother has been found decapitated and covered in petrol on the ground floor of Mr Tonk’s home.
The body was found next to the family dog “Laughing Gravy”, after fire fighters had battled to control the fire that he had started in his own home.

The fire at St Antony’s Road began at 10am, with 19 Fire engines helping to control its ferocity.
Bob ‘Rocky’ Staten, the Chief Fire Officer on site had said “It’s a major fire that is now under control.
It’s still smouldering and we just really have to go for it.”
Senior Police Officer Alan Rose confirmed that Pascal Tonk had set fire to his own home and that he is also responsible for the other incidents around Bournemouth this morning.

Emergency services rushed to the scene, but police surgeons could do nothing to stop Mr Rattue’s death.
None of the witnesses could confirm who the attacker was, but the police were quick to launch a helicopter in pursuit.
