MS GABRIEL
Well, I'm doing the gentlewomanly thing.  Mr du Preez, I want to summarise for you up front the problems that the family has with your evidence and with you application thus far.  You've admitted to killing Mr Blessing Ninela and you've admitted to doing so under very gruesome circumstances.  The process that you have followed to seek amnesty has been through 2 submissions, 2 written submissions.  The first initial one being a statement that you signed on the 11th of December 1996 and the second, the one that is dated the 2nd of July 1999.  Those appear respectively in bundles 1 and 2 and I will return to those.
	On reading your submissions, members of the Ninela family realise that there were many unanswered questions concerning the death of the victim and so it's their contention that you, I want to summarise our arguments up front.
