THE Port of Poole is playing its part in the battle to vaccinate the county against Covid-19. This week, as part of the latest phase of the NHS vaccine rollout, the port joins the 15 existing vaccination sites across the county. It is hosting a GP-led site to vaccinate Dorset s most vulnerable residents. And this isn t the first time the port has been used on the vaccination frontline. Dave Laut, safety and security manager at the Port of Poole, said “Last year the port helped to facilitate a drive-thru flu vaccination service which saw some 4,000 local people successfully vaccinated in time for flu season.
the woman in full panic. what s the person look like that was in your back yard? you heard shots being fired? yes. my husband is outside. the woman on the phone was jane laut, the wife of the hometown hero. oh my god. dave was still outside, she said, where she heard shots fired. where did you last see your husband? he told me to get back in. so i came back in. and i heard the shots. how old is your son? don t wake him up just yet, okay? i can t see dave. stay with me. i have officers on the way. stay in the house. the officers had to lock down and call in a homicide team to investigate further. it was a brutal scene.
one time on her face. her arms, her legs. several places. this is a monster. he s just a monster. ron bamieh is jane s defense attorney. and according to him, dave laut is far from the hometown hero so many believed him to be. the real truth about dave laut, said bamieh, for nearly three decades, he subjected his wife to horrific abuse. like all abuse, it s power and control. we have verbal abuse, over a long period of time. emotional abuse. the way he treats her. we have physical abuse, that s everything from the punching to the kicking to the slapping to the hitting, throwing her down, pulling her hair, spitting on her. and jane wasn t the only victim. said bamieh. dave was angry that his adopted son, michael, was not athletic. neighbors would hear him call michael names, racial names to michael that are just horrible. we have him yelling at him in the street because he can t ride a bike or catch a football or
to kill michael? yeah. so she made a decision to fight. jane had taken michael to the beach that day, said bamieh. they were late getting home. dave was upset. started screaming and yelling, nobody respects me. i don t get any attention around here. nobody cares about me. jane put michael to bed, got into pajamas herself and waited for dave s anger to subside. but he wasn t calming down. so about 10:30 or 11:00, he comes out of the room, and he s upset and he s angry. and that s when she saw the gun, said bamieh. he s holding it and he starts talking about michael, how they don t respect him, and he s going to blow his f ing head off. he grabs her, throws her against the wall. she falls down. she kind of crawls backwards with her hands and feet like a crab walk towards the back door. somehow she gets him out on the patio. she s like, calm down, dave, calm down. then, out in the darkness, dave stumbled on the patio.
jane said there was a prowler, and then gunfire. police raced to the scene to find dave laut dead. and troubling holes in jane s story. what happened at the laut home that night? here s keith morrison with the hometown hero and the homecoming queen. it was late when it happened. very late. too late. the sky had already fallen. no one saw it coming. no one heard the warning. but now in the night, it was done. they work hard here in their homemade garage gym, because in part it isn t just a gym. it s a kind of shrine. i look at the wall and there s a bunch of pictures. and that s what makes it special, i think. these were the moments before they were born when a shot
