From the link above, this section stood out to me—it sounds like there might’ve been some animosity between the deceased and their neighbors, which I hope didn’t play a role in their murder.
“An elderly couple who have lived in their bungalow for 50 years across the back lane said they didn’t know the couple although had at times exchanged greetings. They were shocked to hear of the murders.
They, who like others interviewed on Monday, didn’t want their names published for commenting on the crimes, said they both recalled hearing a loud bang on Saturday, around 10:30 p.m., after they had both retired for the night.
“I thought it was fireworks,” said the husband, a common occurrence at the nearby park.
His wife said the two dogs at the residence would bark aggressively at her as she walked past the fenced yard, following her and barking and lunging along the length of the yard. She said she and others had reported the dogs’ behaviour to the city because she feared they could hurt someone if they got out.
A dog walker also said walking past the house without her dog set the dogs barking and a woman who lived a few doors over said she was aware of complaints to the city about the two big dogs.
“They always bark,” she said. “The kids were walking by and they (the dogs) were scaring them.”
The neighbour, who had been out of town for the weekend, said she had seen two women and sometimes a man at the residence.
“When people keep to themselves, you don’t really know them,” she said. “One time I walked by and I saw (one of the women) taking out the recycling and I said hi and she didn’t say anything.”
