According to Donaldson’s son, Cameron, he was not at home when the incident happened.
He said his mum, Debbie heard dogs barking around 2am and his dad went to check.
“They threw a brick through the bedroom window and my dad fought them off while screaming for his wife to press the panic button. My mum went to the spare bedroom and opened the window to shout for help.
“She then heard a gunshot and found her husband lying on the floor, stabbed twice and shot in the stomach,” explained Cameron.
