MR DE RU
There is still a piece remaining on the page where we are busy with and I would really want to present that to you.  I am now revealing the true facts for the first time because I have true remorse and I believe that what I did was wrong and at that stage I believed that my actions were justified and I saw it as part of my duties.  I now realise that I was abused and that my actions were protected by senior officials and I believe that the criminals were all politically motivated to kill farmers. Then we continue to page 17, and to attack them, and I also want to mention to you that during my trial there was no legislation for amnesty.  There is now an Act to promote reconciliation and unity and I am now revealing all the facts to you.
	Your Honour, I just want to mention to you that in the court records of the trial it was never asked to me to explain with regard to this case, there was no statement taken from me when, the first time I realised that I was being charged was when the State Attorney then charged me and then I saw that I was being charged for this particular case.  It was never informed by anyone before I appeared in court to give an explanation surrounding this case.  
	Also during the trial I used Article 49(2) that I was unjustified in shooting a person escaping because I still believed that the system was going to protect me and also on a Senior Advocate during the trial, I said that I believe that the policemen would support me and that they would protect me.
	And then I also want to mention to you that in November '92 I received an award for the best detective in the region from Colonel Voigt and Brigadier Geldenhuys, and this confirmed to me that they thought that my actions and my work was correct and that it is expected from me to do so. And I also want to mention to you that it was the first time that this award was given to an officer.  It was always awarded to a subordinate officer.
