The mum of slain schoolgirl Solaine Thornton was heard wailing at the top of her lungs after their drugged-up neighbour opened fire while she played on the swings with her sister.
Reclusive Dirk Raats, originally from Belgium, shot the youngster dead and left her parents Adrian, 52, and Rachael 49,with serious injuries in hospital.
The Thorntons and the OAP had been embroiled in a neighbourly dispute for years, over noise and trimming some hedges and bushes.
