MR MAPOMA
Yes.  Chairperson, it will be recalled that this or the argument of the applicant is to the effect that a period of over two years in between the incident of the attack on the family and the murder of the deceased, but it will be recalled, sir, that after the incident the deceased was charged and the criminal court process was going on.  It may well be that the applicant lost faith in the process, and in fact the charges were withdrawn.  It took some time.  So, the period between the happening of the incident, of the murder of the family of the applicant and the deceased is not as wide as it seems to be portrayed in the argument now from the applicant.  There was that interruption between the pending trial against the deceased until the charges were withdrawn against the deceased, and that may be the cause.
