According to his neighbours, he was arguing with an unidentified person on the phone that Friday evening, and later told them he was going out to see to meet the man.
According to him, “I was sipping tea around 7am when I heard the chairman blowing a whistle. I thought it was strange, but my wife called my attention to the surging crowd on the estate.
