ADV SANDI: Exactly how was he injured?
MS PIKA: He got injured when they were beating him up.
ADV SANDI: According to your statement Mrs Pika you say that they used the back of the gun to beat him up.
MS PIKA: You say that they were using guns, they would kick him with their boots, slap him on the face, throw him on the floor. That ill-treatment caused his illness.

MS PIKA: I remember you spoke about this child.
ADV SANDI: Could you repeat please. What did you say about the child. According to your statement you said your child should be given a sickness grant. Is there something else you would like to say, madam? Maybe you have something to say.
MS PIKA: No.
