No charges are expected to be brought against Charles McIntosh and his common law wife Kim Myles after the couple stabbed and shot an intruder inside their home in Ladyville. He was found lying on Marage Road about one hundred yards away from McIntosh’s residence. The suspect identified as Darrel Hyde later died at the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital.
But was it the bullets from McIntosh’s licensed thirty eight revolver or the blade from the small knife held by Kim Myles that caused his death? Today authorities told 7NEWS that while Hyde was shot three times to the chest and left arm a post mortem has revealed that he died due to a stab wound to the heart.
Investigations reveal that both Charles McIntosh and Kim Myles acted in self defence after Darrel Hyde struck McIntosh in the head with a hammer and tried to take the gun away from him. Kim Myles is a cousin of the deceased.
