reported events that occurred at 87 Augusta Street between 1973 - 1974

The victim in this murder was shot in a parking lot separating two Hamilton hotels at approximately 11:50 p.m. on September 21, 1974. At about the same time noise like a shot or a backfire attracted the attention of a passerby to the parking lot where he saw a man running to a brown or copper coloured van with lettering which he later identified as the name “Barber Appliance Services”. The identified van was on the night in question in the custody of Penoffio, the firm’s Hamilton manager. Penoffio lived in a house at 87 Augusta Street, Hamilton, which was also occupied by a friend named Matthews and which the accused was visiting on the evening in question. The van was found next to this address shortly after the shooting and at that time the house was occupied by the accused, Penoffio and Matthews. The deceased had been a tenant of Penoffio at 87 Augusta for about a year, until Penoffio terminated the tenancy in April 1974 by notice to quit, allegedly because of the deceased’s misbehaviour which brought the police to the premises several times. Police found a shot gun with a single unfired shell in a paper bag in a cupboard underneath the basement stairs of the house that they believe to be the murder weapon.
