Garry Sherwood Flyte, 54, told police "his neighbors were good people and he never had a problem with them."

Yet, just before 7 on the evening of March 19, Flyte said "a voice" told him to kill the neighbors.And, police say, that's what he did.He left his residence at 422 Meixsell Road in Eldred Township with a shotgun, went to the neighbor's house, shot and killed two men inside the home, and then saw movement in a bedroom and fired a shot, killing a pet dog.Police said Flyte returned to his residence, laid his gun on a sofa, and called 911 to report the shootings. He then went back to the scene and waited for police.Killed were Jeffrey A. Place, 53, and Steven Powell, 30. Flyte told police he was also looking for Place's wife, Wendy, who lives there, but he didn't see her.The details of that night were presented during a preliminary hearing for Flyte on Monday afternoon before District Judge Jolana Krawitz of Saylorsburg.Krawitz bound all charges against Flyte for trial. He is being held in Monroe County Prison without bail.Charges against Flyte are two counts of criminal homicide, one count of criminal attempt to commit homicide, and cruelty to animals.Flyte, represented by attorney James Gregor, has no known history of mental illness.At the hearing, Flyte, clad in blue prison coveralls with a white long-sleeve T-shirt underneath, showed no expression as condemning testimony was given.Monroe County Coroner Bob Allen said Place was shot from the front, in the abdomen, and died at the scene.He said Powell was shot inside the house, in his right side. The bullet and fragments struck his arm and abdomen. He left a trail of blood to the backyard, where Wendy found him.He was transported to Pocono Medical Center, where he died during surgery, Allen said.During the testimony, two relatives cried in the back of the crowded courtroom.State trooper Brian Silliman described the scene at the Place household. He also said he went to Flyte's home and found his shotgun on his couch."There was no sign of struggle in the (Place) residence," he answered under cross-examination. "There was no sign of forced entry."Silliman said the dog was wounded and survived for a while.Trooper Nicolas De La Iglesia said as soon as Flyte was arrested, "He said he wanted to speak."The Miranda rights were given to Flyte, the state trooper said, and the defendant gave both recorded and written testimony.De La Iglesia told the court, "He said he heard voices that told him to go to the home and shoot his neighbors."Police said whenthey arrived at the scene, Wendy was standing in the Place driveway. Flyte was standing next to the driveway."His demeanor was just very calm," police said.He told police he had been awake for the past 80 hours, staying awake by drinking coffee.After the hearing, members of the media shouted questions to him but he ignored them.About 30 people attended the hearing.
