MR SANDI
Can I now hand over to you to tell the whole story, how it happened what you saw and so on.
MR BELLING (JNR): Okay.  On Saturday the first of May 1993 shortly before ten p.m. my cousin Roland Parker and I arrived at the High Gate Hotel, East London.  On our arrival we immediately entered the bar and took up seating at the bar counter near the doorway to the poolroom, we then ordered bears from the bartender and shortly after our drinks had arrived I suddenly heard the sound of running footsteps approaching the entrance.  I then turned my head to the right and looked directly at the bar entrance where I then saw a Black male person appearing in the doorway.  This Black male was wearing black trousers, white shirt and a brownish coloured jacket.  This Black male was carrying a rifle in his hand the make of which is unknown to me.  I'd just entered the bar area and having just entered the bar area this Black male came to a halt and he then directed the barrel of the firearm to my position.  I then chose for my well-being and dived to my left pulling my cousin Roland Parker to the ground with me.
 On my crashing to the floor I suddenly felt that I had lost the feeling of my left arm and at this stage I was looking away from the door and although unable to see what was taking place I heard the gunman continue to direct fire at the patrons in the bar.  While the shooting continued I suddenly heard a loud explosion coming from inside the bar area after which the light became dull.  I then suddenly heard something roll on the floor behind me and fearing that this object was an explosive device I braced myself for a further explosion.  No explosion came and I heard ssss sound over the gunfire.  I then realised that teargas had been set off in the bar and I was choking on the teargas.  Shortly after my having determined that the teargas was inside the bar area the shooting suddenly ceased.  I then dragged myself into the conference room to escape the teargas and was later removed from this area by the paramedics.  
 As a result of this attack I sustained injuries of  a serious nature to my left arm, left hip and also internal injuries and I feel that nobody had the right or permission to cause such injuries to me or attempt to take my life.
