Although, the bullet emerged out behind his right ear, but he died on the spot. As the bank was about to close, Anders insists the security guard to open the door saying that still one minute is remaining. When he get into line, he saw a lady teller standing right in front of him. A dark complexion lady standing in front of him start looking at teller with hatred and broke off their conversation. After 2-3 minutes, three armed robbers wearing black ski masks and blue business suits entered into bank. One of them, put his pistol on guard’s neck and warn him stay silent.

A witness lady said, she heard “Oh, bravo,” Anders said “Dead meat”. And he turned to witness woman in front of him. “Great script, eh? The stern, brass-knuckled poetry of the dangerous classes”.

Thanks for sharing this post. This article provides some important details about the murder. I wonder how a reporter would retell the story -- as if it is done here -- without being there to witness the crime?
