MS COLLETT
I hear what you say Sir, but my submission in that regard is that he was home for one single day.  If one has regard to the fact that he said he would go home in the evening so that he wouldn't be seen maybe the intention of the deceased or maybe the intention of the burning was not to burn him per se, maybe it was just to burn the house.  One never knows.  That is certainly an option which one could look at.  But the fact of the matter is that his evidence goes as far as saying: "But for the circumstances that I find myself in, the political circumstances that I find myself in I would not have acted the way that I did.  He obviously believed and he had reasonable grounds to believe that he was in a volatile situation at the time.  I do believe that he's made full disclosure.
	The Judgment of the High Court found that there had in actual fact been a petrol bomb attack at his house.  There was evidence to that effect and I do believe that he has made a full disclosure to this Committee about what he did, that he shot the deceased several, many times, I think several isn't enough, many times and for the bona fide reason that he believed that he was at threat.  And I want to ask this Committee to take that into consideration when considering his amnesty application.  Those are my submissions.
