Planadong pag-atake ni Stephen Paddock, hindi alam ng girlfriend
Wala umanong alam ang Fil-Australian na si Marilou Danley sa planong pag-atake ng kaniyang boyfriend na si Stephen Paddock sa concert sa Las Vegas.
Ayon sa abogado ni Danley na si Matthew Lombard, handa ang kaniyang kliyente na makipagtulungan sa mga otoridad.
Sinabi ni Lombard na walang ideya si Danley na nagpa-plano pala si Paddock na magsagawa ng mass shooting.
Kinumpirma din ni Lombard na si Paddock ang bumili ng ticket para sa pag-uwi ni Danley at pagkatapos ay pinadalhan pa siya ng $100,000.
Sinabihan umano siya ni Paddock na gamitin ang pera upang ipambili ng bahay.
Ayon kay Lombard, hindi inaasahan ni Danley ang nasabing pera at nangamba pa nga na baka makikipag-hiwalay na sa kaniya si Paddock.
Patuloy na sasailalim sa pagtatanong ng FBI si Danley bilang bahagi ng isinasagawang imbestigasyon at upang matukoy ang motibo ng suspek.
Narito ang buong statement ni Danley:
I am devastated by the deaths and injuries that have occurred and my prayers go out to the victims and their families and all those who have been hurt by these awful events.
I have faith in God and I will continue to pray for everyone who has been harmed or hurt. I am a mother and grandmother and my heart breaks for all who have lost loved ones.
I knew Stephen Paddock as a kind, caring, quiet man. I loved him and hoped for a quiet future together with him.
He never said anything to me or took any action that I was aware of that I understood in any way to be a warning that something horrible like this was going to happen.
A little more than two weeks ago, Stephen told me he found a cheap ticket for me to the Philippines and that he wanted me to take a trip home to see my family.
Like all Filipinos abroad, I was excited to go home and see family and friends. While there, he wired me money, which he said was for me to buy a house for me and my family.
I was grateful, but honestly, I was worried that first the unexpected trip home and then the money was a way of breaking up with me.
It never occurred to me in any way whatsoever that he was planning violence against anyone.
I have not made a statement until now because I have been cooperating with the authorities. I voluntarily flew back to America because I know that the FBI and the Las Vegas Police Department wanted to talk to me and I wanted to talk to them.
I will cooperate fully with their investigation. Anything I can do to help ease suffering and help in any way, I will do. Please respect my privacy and my family’s privacy.
