He would go back to his vehicle and would be ambushed likely by more than one person. He would be dragged and beaten about 50 yards away. When the people in the Blue House Farm noticed around 2 am that the white Peugeot car that Paul was driving was still there they investigated it. They would look around for him and find him dead.
It was obvious that whoever had made the call decided to attack and kill Paul that night. The hoax call was made from a phone box at the junction of Snows Green Rd and Benfieldside Rd in Shotley Bridge. It was likely the same people that vandalized his car three times in the weeks leading up to the attack. In one case of vandalism "No Legs" was scratched into the roof. After his death, his tombstone was also damaged.
It's unknown or unstated what Paul had done for someone or a group of people to hold such a grudge.
