Special Report Transcript Episode 13, Section 4, Time 16.21

Later on when the case was tried at the Supreme Court Captain Mitchell said it was a mistake. Now I want to state here, categorically, it was never a mistake, because the murder was planned with the logistics and everything, special constables brought there, put in strategic areas and they knew exactly which houses to attack. So when he says it’s a mistake I totally disagree with that, it was not a mistake. The only mistake I think he was referring to, it was that he did not shoot and kill people whom he had intended, it’s my family, but innocent other people became the victim of the circumstances. But I don’t believe it was a mistake.
