According to a pair of sources attending this week's preliminary hearing in Riverside County -- who aren't being named because they aren't authorized to talk about the case to the press -- testimony emerged recalling the suspects driving around with the victim's dog, before eventually securing it a loving home with one of the suspects' friends.
On Dec. 5, a group of San Francisco conspirators, allegedly led by 27-year-old Nepalese immigrant Kaushal Niroula, purportedly did away with 74-year-old Clifford Lambert, then fraudulently attempted to sell his Palm Springs house and loot his financial accounts.
According to a detective who testified earlier this week, the crew hadn't initially intended to murder Lambert. The group first plotted to merely kidnap him, then forge documents allowing them to sell Lambert's house and loot his financial accounts, according to ace reporter Jessica E. Davis of City News Service.

It then occurred to the plotters, however, that a living Lambert might re-emerge to challenge his fleecers. So Niroula purportedly instructed a San Francisco barkeep to lay in wait for Lambert and kill him.
The barkeep lost his nerve, but came back to Lambert's house the next night and, with the help of Niroula and another assailant, stabbed the elderly man to death, the detective testified.
