L oli lähestynyt tien vieressä puussa olleita teeriä ajamalla autollaan edestakaisin niiden ohitse, pysäyttänyt sen jälkeen autonsa ampumaetäisyydelle ja ampunut auton takaa tien ylitse yhden teeren. L:n katsottiin syyllistyneen muun muassa metsästämiseen koneellista kulkuneuvoa välittömästi apuna käyttäen.
