Special Report Transcript Episode 37, Section 8, Time 22:09

I saw three people running out of my home towards this orange Cadet, which I certainly earlier seen, that was now parked alongside my home. So I ran to the Cadet, opened the driver’s door, I was grappling with him, trying to pull him out when someone seated in the rear left hand seat fired three shots at me. As he pointed the gun at me I saw his hand. They were all wearing balaclavas, so I saw his hand and it was definitely a white man or white person. When this car had sped past me, I then ran back home with the intention of telling my parents that some thieves had just shot at me. I found my father sprawled at the drain in the courtyard with what seemed to be 20, 25 bullet holes in his head and my mother lying spread-eagled in the courtyard. She seemed to have been shot once only. I tried… I knew my father was dead, I could see that he was dead because he was already turning blue, but still I tried talking to him, to try to resuscitate him. Then I went to my mother, she didn’t seem to me outwardly injured, I mean there was no blood. I held her in my arms and she sighed, that was her last breath.
