We then placed the body in a field near, next to the Inanda Road, in the area of Bambayi, that's where we left her.  I am informed that it is now alleged that the body was found with a bullet hole in the head. I am certain that this is not the body or the remains of Nthombi Khubeka as I know that her body suffered no bullet wound.
	In doing what I did, I executed my duties as a policeman the way I saw it as an obligation during the time of conflict and political violence.  We were conditioned by speeches of politicians and directions by our senior officers to do everything in our power to confront the revolutionary onslaught at all costs.  There were times when in terms of the prevailing legislation of the times, it was not possible to solve all the problems that came one's way.  The present case is perhaps an example of such an instance.
	If it had become public knowledge that Khubeka had died whilst being interrogated by the Security Police, it would have caused big embarrassment.  I was of the bona fide belief that what I did in the present instance, in order to combat or derail the revolutionary onslaught and to protect the government and National Party and the S A P from political embarrassment, fell within my express or implied authority.  I did not participate in the events for any personal gain or driven by personal spite or malice and I received no reward.
