MR BRINK
The reason for the denial.  On first applicant's version, he had in mind or they had in mind to depart with the policemen, having stolen 14 guns from the police armoury and they had in mind to drop the policemen off at some dark, lonely spot where they would have difficulty finding their way back, but find their way back, they were intended to do.
	If the deceased Sergeant Ngubo and applicant Nyembezi were known to each other, then it seems unlikely that that intention that he could have had that intention at the time.  The likelihood is that he would have formed the intention to dispatch, execute Ngubo in order to put him beyond the witness stand, or eliminate him as an identifying witness, an (indistinct) witness.
	This is the reason for his strenuous denial.  I submit that it is such a peripheral matter and there seems to be so little obvious fruit, so little obvious profit for Mrs Ngubo to lie about this, that this Panel should accept that she has given reliable and truthful evidence on this score, the question of the acquaintance between Nyembezi and the family who lived just two doors down.
