MR VAN STRAATEN
I then passed my night watchman over to Andre, entered the property to scout the property.   I walked to the truck which was standing there, looked around and decided that this would be the easiest vehicle to remove, since it was parked right across from the gate.   I looked around, walked back to the guard room, saw that there were keys hanging from a particular board, I took some of the keys and walked to the particular vehicle with these keys.   On the way to the vehicle, I saw Andre and asked him

if everything was under control, if the guards were tied up, and he then told me that there was a struggle going on.   I then told him that we had to finish up so that we could continue with the removal of the truck.   I entered the vehicle, switched the vehicle on, started the vehicle, but lacking experience with the driving of trucks, I started the truck, which I had seen people do on occasion.  While the vehicle was running, I jumped out of the vehicle, out of the truck, and went to the place where the night watchmen were supposed to be tied up.   Andre and Dawid then told me that there was a struggle and that they had mistakenly knifed one night watch to death.   This upset me, because it was not our intention and we had not made an agreement to kill any of the night watchmen.
