'On the day he was shot, he came to my gate and started talking to me.
“He was very paranoid and said:” Can't you see them? The cameras … they follow me everywhere. The police are out to get me. '
“It was a bizarre conversation, but a few hours later he was shot by the armed police.
“He apparently had a knife and ran to them, but I wonder if they could have treated it differently because he was clearly unwell.
“He admitted that he had been sentenced to five years in prison and told me that he was a kind of engineer who built his own gun.
