MR FOURIE
I would like to do that if I may.  I will keep it as 
brief as possible.   I am looking at you right now, what is this, tell 
me, I am listening, what is this?  Is this a man or not?
	Right, you are men, I am a man, I will talk straight to you and 
to the Chairman.  How do you know that you fatally wounded Mr 
Jose Cerqueira, are you a seasoned or regular killer?
	You pleaded not guilty at the trial, yet you say here that you 
intended killing and wounding as many people as possible and now 
say you want amnesty.  How do I understand you?
	Mr Chairman, I do find it very difficult to accept that the 
statements given by these people are genuine, genuinely from them 
and perhaps not some concocted story to save their necks.  I am 
being blunt Sir, and I apologise if I do that, and I offend anybody, 
but I am also not apologising.
	Accepting that I was not at the scene of the crime, I still 
believe I may ask why must I believe you when you say you did not 
enter the Tavern, when you say anything for that matter because 
bearing in mind what you have admitted to, that is the killing of 
innocent people.
	I cannot believe anything you say because I cannot trust 
murderers.  Why must I believe your statement about why you think 
you should be absolved of this crime, the murder of my daughter and 
others?
	The post mortem should reveal quite accurately how close the 
killers were to the victims when they were shot.  I refer to page 12 
in the court proceedings, three young women were shot that evening 
in the Heidelberg Tavern.  It is on page 44 of the bundle.  
Bernadette Langford's heart was torn apart by the impact of the 
bullet, Lindi Anne Fourie was shot in the right hand side of the 
neck.  The bullet dragged all of the main blood veins off, and 
crushed her neck bones.  Rolanda Palm was also shot in the heart.
	If we were firing wildly, how coincidental is it Mr Chairman, 
that three of the victims were shot in positions which would 
certainly have meant virtually instant death?  I also was trained in 
the use of firearms.  It is a frightening reality that lives with me 
every day of my wife, I regret having been trained to aim at another 
human being and shoot.  I hope to God I never will have to do it.  
That is sincere and from my heart.
	The apparent attitude of the applicants and particularly the 
so-called Commander of these men, tells me that their bona fides 
could be suspect and essentially destroys their possible chances of 
being given amnesty.
	Excusme me Mr Chairman, I highlighted what I wanted to 
refer to from the notes.
