UPDATE: Kellerberrin local Peter Mitchell has shared his own perspective on the violent incident, having known both the victim and perpetrator.

Mr Mitchell told Gary Adshead on 6PR Mornings he is one of many locals currently trying to make some sense of the situation.

“My knowledge of him was always happy at work,” Mr Mitchell said.

“He’d be the first one to get up and give you a wave; no different to Terry. They were all good people.”
