Special Report Transcript Episode 34, Section 2, Time 03:20

Caiphus’ parents were never officially informed of his death. They found the body in a mortuary. The state pathologist found nine bullet holes in the body, their own pathologist 12. Later, an inquest was held. The family told the Truth Commission that the findings were very disappointing. // Though the policemen acted wrongfully they acted reasonably under the circumstances prevailing at the time. The policemen who were going to arrest Nyoka had been warned that he had hand grenades and other explosives and he was a very dangerous man and he was likely to resist arrest.

Notes: Nyoka’s gravestone; Alegria reads summary of inquest to the TRC
