Days af­ter the mur­ders of his 13-year-old daugh­ter and his paral­ysed broth­er, Ed­dy Lal­lan re­mains ward­ed at hos­pi­tal in a sta­ble con­di­tion.

While in­ves­ti­ga­tors have not yet made any ar­rests, Po­lice Com­mis­sion­er Er­la Hare­wood-Christo­pher said last week that the po­lice were work­ing on leads that could solve the case.

An­drea Lal­lan and her un­cle Syl­van were shot in the head while they slept at their Old Ma­yaro Road, Lib­ertville home, around 2 am last Fri­day.

Ed­dy, who re­ceives a dis­abil­i­ty grant, was shot in his neck.

He sought as­sis­tance from a neigh­bour, who took him to the health cen­tre, where he was treat­ed and trans­ferred to the San­gre Grande Hos­pi­tal.

An­drea, who at­tend­ed St Therese RC School, and her fa­ther went to the po­lice sta­tion on Thurs­day in re­la­tion to a re­cent re­port of rape she made against a cou­ple.

Hours af­ter the shoot­ing in­ci­dent on Fri­day, a cou­ple, a 49-year-old con­trac­tor and a 23-year-old house clean­er, ap­peared in court charged with two counts of sex­u­al pen­e­tra­tion of a child.

Bail was de­nied to the man while the woman was put on $500,000 bail.

Lal­lan's sis­ter Glo­ria Har­ris did not speak with the me­dia on Fri­day.

How­ev­er on her Face­book page, she ques­tioned why her rel­a­tives were killed.

She post­ed, "My broth­er u on a wheel chair u in­ter­fer with no 1 but they kill u." Har­ris re­called that five days be­fore the in­ci­dent, she dropped a meal for them. "I tell An­drea and Ed­dy make sure they give u (Syl­van) some of d food, not know­ing it would be the last I see u and speak to u, Lord my life just crum­ble d pain hurt loss noth­ing can heal. Rip my broth­er my niece God will an­swer my pray, I am a war­rior, I am vic­to­ri­ous through Je­sus Christ My Lord, Judge, Re­deemer."

The po­lice have not yet con­firmed a mo­tive, but Guardian Me­dia un­der­stands that the girl and her fa­ther had re­cent­ly re­ceived death threats.

Crime scene in­ves­ti­ga­tors had re­trieved eight 9 mm spent shells and a pro­jec­tile at the scene.

Mean­while, the au­top­sies are ex­pect­ed to be per­formed at the Foren­sic Sci­ence Cen­tre this week. In­ves­ti­ga­tions are con­tin­u­ing
