FACTFILE
Feiding's motive for
mass murder is unclear but, Fielding had suffered a severe
hand injury during a burglary several years previous and
held his former partner in crime, Lee Day responsible. He
believed the injury made him unattractive to women and
believed Day had wrecked his dreams of being a top
DJ.

where Day lived with his family.
Monday
