Transcripts for Section 2 of Episode 49
| Time | Summary | | | 08:49 | I object to the statement made to this witness that they instigated a crime. When I park my motor vehicle on the street with the radio in it and it gets stolen by a thief who happens to walk in that street, do I instigate the crime by parking my vehicle there? Surely not. And this is in effect what is being put to this witness, that by sending a private vehicle out in a public road they instigated a crime.

I had no choice; I had to do what I was told in the performance of my duties. I wasn’t in a position to refuse. | Full Transcript and References | | 11:01 | When the hearings ended late on Wednesday evening, there appeared to be many questions about the Trojan Horse killings that remained unanswered. Survivors and family of the victims say the main questions for them are how to forget the fear they experienced during the attack and how to forgive the killers so they can honour the memories of Shaun Magmoed, Jonathan Claasen and Michael Miranda by finally making peace with their deaths. | Full Transcript |
