FAKE DELIVERY DUDE GUNS DOWN EX-NEIGHBOR GAL!

-

A MADMAN in Massachuse­tts

disguised himself as a UPS

driver, police say, and made a

deadly delivery — by pumping

bullets into his former

neighbor!

Clad in the classic brown

shirt and pants of the delivery

company, Robert Bonang, 61,

returned to his old stomping

grounds with a rifle hidden in

a box, authoritie­s say.

They claim Bonang, who has

a reported history of mental

health issues, then rang the

doorbell at the Braintree

home of 59-year-old Laurie

Melchionda and opened fire.

The former school nurse was

shot in the back and head and

was later pronounced dead at

a hospital.

A teen who was babysittin­g

at a nearby home told

investigat­ors Bonang looked

like a “fake UPS driver,”

according to Norfolk Assistant

District Attorney Greg Connor.

The young witness also said

“shooting from

the box,” the

police report

explains.

Bonang’s sister,

Catherine, told

cops in 2009

he had been

once, and five years later

complained he was showing

signs of “paranoid behavior,”

Bonang pleaded not guilty to

murder and weapons charges

and is being held without bail.
