Massacre
Continued from Page 1
previous owner “to get off his property and not
to come back or he would shoot them,” said a
local woman.
“I was terrified of him,” said the woman,
who spoke on condition of anonymity. She said
“one minute he would be all right, and then he
wouldn’t be.
“He would go off — he would be a totally
different person.”
About three years ago, the man’s father
drowned on the property, she recalled. His
death was declared a suicide. Her neighbor’s
reaction to the death was “strange,” she said.
“I was coming up the road that day, and
within half an hour of the body being brought
out ... he was cutting the grass with a Weed
Whacker,” she said.
“I don’t think he was at all upset by his fa
ther’s death.”
Featherstone said the accused gunman
originally moved onto the property with a
woman in her 50s.
“She told us she had looked after him for
years, that she was like a mother to him and
that his parents couldn’t handle him,” Feath
erstone said. “She used to calm him down.”
The woman told neighbors how she had
given the man a pet baby pig, which he used
to sleep with, Featherstone said.
The woman died a year later in a car acci
dent in which Bryant was her passenger. She
left her money and property to him. Bryant
sold his inherited property 18 months ago and
owned a house in Hobart, Featherstone said.
Across the region Monday, people struggled
to cope with the carnage. Prime Minister John
Howard said the slayings have “shaken the
nation to the core.”
Hundreds holding candles packed Hobart’s
St. David’s Cathedral for a memorial service.
Mourners wept as they remembered slain
family and friends.
Relatives of the dead visited the scene with
officers. One man who lost his wife and two
children sat sobbing in an unmarked squad
car, his head in his hands.
Four bodies were left where they fell so po
lice could gather more forensic evidence.
The slaughter began when the gunman
opened fire on tourists visiting the picturesque
sandstone ruins of a colonial prison at Port
Arthur, 30 miles south of Hobart.
He then targeted children, hikers and p
ing cars as he drove down a short stretdi
coastal highway before holing up in a r
guest house, where he took potshots at poliu'
Detectives tried to persuade him to sun?;,

"I was terrified of him, one mini
he would be alright and then lie
wouldn't be."

But negotiations ended when thebai
of his mobile phone went dead. Thegi
man was captured Monday morning afe
fleeing the guest house, which he t
with three hostages inside. He was
talized with burns.
Two charred bodies were found in these
dering ashes of the house. Police 1
