Hello Maggie, thanks for coming, the Commission appreciates it and realises this is very difficult for you.  It's almost seven years to the day that David was killed the first of May 1989 at approximately 10 AM, he was shot to death outside his home by an unknown gunman in Troyville Johannesburg. At the time of his death David Webster was a lecturer in social anthropology at the University of the Witwatersrand.  David Webster was also a well-known human rights activist, he played a prominent role in the Detainee  Parents Support Committee since its inception in 1981, he was also involved with the END Conscription Campaign, The Five Freedoms Forum, the Detainees' Education and Welfare Organisation, amongst many others.
 I'm going to ask you now to relate the events around David's killing.
