MR MAPOMA
Excuse me, Chairperson, before the proceedings commence Chairperson, I would like to place on record that the victims in this matter in particular the next-of-kin of the late Norman Beaton, the next-of-kin's name is Cyril Beaton, was served with a notice of this hearing personally by our investigator on the 19th October 1999 and we have not heard from them as to whether they are interested in attending to the hearing.  We have got other interested persons who were can I say victims in the robbery incidents.  Those are Mr Mela Williams and Mrs Cheryl Voldyn.  Nobody was injured in that incident.  But they have been notified as interested persons, they have indicated that they have no objection in the granting of amnesty in this matter.  So to the extent that the next-of-kin of the late Mr Beaton may be interested, I'm going to take it up on myself to take care of their interests.  In the circumstances Chairperson, I would move that we proceed with the hearing.  Thank you sir.
