Another important aspect which we need to consider is the actual stabbing out of Mr August's eyes. Even if he was destined to die and such a plan failed, it is quite gruesome and unacceptable to find any positive moral in having to stab someone's eyes out. The stabbing of his eyes was a malicious act which we find was sustained during the attack.  This malice also does not comply with the requirements of the Act. Consequently we are not satisfied that the applicant has made full disclosure as envisaged by the Act of the events for which he applies for amnesty.
