UNKNOWN
My submission today in this matter is that the applicant has been unable to make full disclosure and I would agree with my learned friend, that the political objective is not clear at all, or the political motive.
	I base this firstly on the fact that on the question of why he actually committed the offence, there are quite a number of reasons that are given, contrasting reasons, really.  When you look at page 3 of the bundle, he talks about the fact that there were elections, so he wanted to eliminate members of the opposing party.
	He also gives the same reason in his application for indemnity.  On page 10 he talks about the fact that the deceased had to be eliminated because he was a stumbling block towards achieving their political gains.  At page 11 he speaks about the fact that he was eliminated because there were several attempts to kill him.
	At page 28, he says because the deceased attempted to shoot him, it is quite a number of reasons, but it is true that it is not clear really what the motive is.
	Which leads me to speculate, I don't know whether I am allowed to speculate, but from the instructions that I got, it appears that the applicant feared the deceased, hence he didn't even have the, he wasn't brave enough to face him, hence he shot him at the back.
	I don't want to elaborate on that very much.  The applicant also admitted having been scared or fearful of the deceased, himself, which maybe might explain why he shot him in the back.  I don't know, but I also leave it to the hands of the Committee to make a decision.  Thank you.
