The only question that the Committee therefore has to consider is that of Section 20(1)(c), that is, whether the Applicants have all made a full disclosure of all facts relevant and material to the incident. The facts which are common cause to the Applicants can briefly be summarised as follows: The above then, as has already been said, is a brief summary of the testimony which is common cause to all the Applicants. The Committee is satisfied that the information so disclosed relates o the same incident amnesty was applied for without introducing any crime that amnesty had not been applied for. Secondly, the Committee is satisfied that the amnesty has to be considered on the facts disclosed as at the time of the hearing and that the application should therefore not fail merely because a full disclosure was not made at the time of the original application. In the event the Committee is also satisfied that the Applicants have made a full disclosure as envisaged in the Act. All the Applicants are accordingly GRANTED amnesty for their various acts related to abduction, assault and killing of the Deceased and the destruction of his body. Since the identity of the Deceased could not be established, the Committee is unable to make a finding on the identity of the Deceased as a victim for referral to the Reparations and Rehabilitation Committee.
