yes before his death, and he was also in a custody battle to get their biological child in his custody..her other two children a girl and a boy from a previous relationship had both been sexually abused by the deceased..and she was suposed to stay in the womens refuge and stay away from him..but she went to his house and he kicked her out 2 days before he was killed then he shopped her to social workers for violating her acomadation agreement..she had also been witnessed allocating or trying to enlist people to do him in, as heard in court and prooven with evidence. duane did have a few rifles as he belonged to a respectable gun club. and all i quote were fully licenced.other things mentioned were collector items kept securely in a double locked case. please be reminded duanes collectors items were nothing to do with this case. and the deceased was killed with his own weapons, and the sword was given to him by his ex girlfriend who had been dumped by him 2 days prior to his murder. this information was irrelevent to this case and just an attempt to manipulate and divert from the facts.. as is typical behaviour tactics by police when they have a weak case. there was no evidence to suggest duane had any motive wotsoever, and furthermore, no dna, no witnesses, only the false allegations from the obvious suspects (who by the way) became police informers/witnesses..they refused to cooperate with police, as is quoted in the papers ie: these peole were known NOT to cooperate with the police... the papers print lies for sensationalism and work hand in hand with the police(they scratch eachothers backs...
