CHAIRPERSON
When the evidence concluded in this matter we adjourned because it was stated that the deceased's mother was going to give evidence which she was expected to do on the Wednesday.  This adjournment occurred on the Monday.  We accordingly adjourned the hearing until Wednesday on the basis that she and any other witnesses who wished to give evidence would be able to do so on the Wednesday.  Unfortunately when we reconvened on the Wednesday, that is on the 4th August of last year we were told that the deceased's mother had been shot the night before.  It struck us at the time that there may have been a connection between the shooting and the fact that she was going to be a witness at our hearing.  On this basis we have decided to adjourn the matter further and I requested the Attorney General to conduct a full enquiry or as full an enquiry as was possible into the motive for her shooting.  He duly did so and I have a copy of the letter, he wrote to the Area Commissioner informing him that he could assign the investigation to what has come to be known as the MacAdam Unit and I have a further letter indicating that an extremely capable and experienced police officer was assigned to take over the investigation.  There has been no information laid before us to indicate that the unfortunate death of the deceased's mother was in fact in any way connected with the fact that she was due to give evidence before this Committee.  In those circumstances we can do nothing more than proceed with the hearing.  There's no possible reason for any further adjournment and delay and that there is no suggestion that any further enquiries could possibly in any way reveal anything further.  It seems in those circumstances though that I should enquire as to whether there are any other persons present today who were present then who wish to give evidence in this matter.
