MR MARTINDALE
Thank you Mr Chairman. Mr Chairman the situation here is that the applicant was convicted by the court at the time of the three murders. They are similar in nature. If I can refer to the record. I mean they were all committed by a crowd of people. Common elements were stabbing, stoning and burning. Mr Dlala was one of them. The statement that the applicant was caught up with that at the time. And rightly or wrongly he was convicted of the murder of Dlala. He has come before you and he has admitted his role in the stabbing of two of the deceased. I submit that he would have nothing to gain to not, or to try and avoid the situation with Dlala.
