“At around 5 a.m. I reached the area where Lama lived and had a cup of tea then went to his home with the two weapons ready to fire,” he said. Lama got up after his father woke him up and asked me to speak in private on the top of his house. “Later when I tried to shot him but my pistol didn´t fire and I had to run away from there," he told the police.
