Yes. I deemed it necessary to clear up the terrain very quickly because the road was used as a public road and it would not be healthy ... It would not be a good thing for the people in the vicinity who were already living in a state of fear as a result of insurgents to have their fears further exacerbated by seeing a shot-up vehicle and to see corpses in the road and so forth.  So if I remember correctly, the scene was cleared up within an hour or less and everything was removed from it and we all then proceeded to Alldays.
	When we arrived at Alldays I reported to Van Dyk, Kruger and Fuchs and I appointed them to handle all the equipment and all the information, exactly what was found on each body or corpse.  Something that I forgot to mention is that when I sent Capt Dreyer to go and phone, he also had to summons a fingerprint expert and a photographer to Alldays to photograph the corpses and also to take the fingerprints of the deceased for later identification purposes.
	Whilst Capt Fuchs and I were interrogating the injured person, Col Van Dyk, who was my intelligence man, and who was appointed to make notes for the later incident report, I noticed that he had a tape-recorder with him and I assume that in a bona fide way that he taped this very incoherent interrogation. I did not find it strange that a recording was made of the questioning, because a security force member had a tape-recorder with him most of the time. I think it was interviews with informers, et cetera, which sometimes had to be taped if notes could not be taken. 
	I didn't listen to the tape later.  I didn't think it was necessary for me to listen to that because I handled this questioning personally and in any event, there wasn't much to it for me to remember, and that was the reason why I had no serious interest in the tape.
	At Alldays I gave Dreyer and Swart instructions that they should deal with the inquest.  I also told them how they should deal with this inquest docket, and I made notes to make it clear to the Commission what I based my instructions on at that time. And if the Commission would allow me, I would like to make use of my notes.
