MR CLAASSEN
Madam Chair, that is true, seeing his own answer for it, I think and not trying to be speculative here, the question remains why was the deceased killed at all.
	I don't know if there was any real reason established in the end.  There is no evidence to suggest that there was any hidden motive.  Madam Chair, the flipside of the coin is that is not enough, the question to be answered is was the political motive strong enough and I think that might be the problem.  Even in the absence of anything to the contrary, the evidence of the applicant himself might not have been enough to convince the Committee.
	Madam Chair, just in conclusion, I think should the Committee find him to be a credible witness, maybe thought could be given to amnesty, but I would leave the decision in the capable hands of the Committee.
