They told us that we must open the door and if we do not open it they are going to break it open.  We opened the door and they entered.  They were clad in police uniform and they were also wearing some balaclavas.  When they entered the house they started shooting.  We did not

bring the body and we arranged that the body should be brought the next day.  They entered the house and shot at everybody inside.  They shot my sister's children and all the people in the house.  We were taken to hospital.  At the time we were in the hospital, some died on the way to hospital.  Some managed to arrive at hospitals and some of my sister's sons friends died during the incident. 
 We made a statement to the police.  We were able to explain that we saw them and even the manner in which they were dressed.  They took us to hospital.  We were treated and after that we were taken to identify the perpetrators and we managed to identify them on a parade.  They also found the guns that were used and also the bullets that were used.  Cartridges were also take for ballistic proof.  What surprises me the most is that these people were found not guilty.  They kill us without a reason and I would like to ask the Commission to investigate and find these people.  Let them come out and tell us exactly why they shot us.  Even on the day on which they were released we were not told, we just saw that they were released on papers.  The case ended like that.  
 We were so badly injured and we would also be happy if those who died can be honoured by erecting tombstones on their graves.  Thank you.
