JEFFERY T BENZIEN
If I may mention it once again, I would like to say to the family of Mr Kriel, now that I am older  and perhaps know a bit more about the politics of those years, I believe that Mr Kriel acted very courageously.
	My purpose was to arrest him and not to kill him.  Although his death was a tragedy for his family, I am very, very sorry that he had to die, but the tables could very easily have been turned on that day, the outcome could have easily been very different and it could have left myself and Sergeant Abels being wounded or killed.
	And once again, I apologise to the family for his death and I thank God that I, who also have children, also a daughter who is 22 years old, that I was not the person who was killed on that day.
