Special Report Transcript Episode 51, Section 2, Time 07:49

I do believe in myself. I want to get truth, what happened in those days and in future, our children must know what happened in those days when our parents were still alive. All I remember is that in the morning the neighbours, I think the neighbours next door to me, came to the house and look me up. And then I saw my mother there, she was shot in the head and my father was shot in the head and I didn’t know that they died. I just said ‘father wake up, wake up.’ My next door neighbours took me into their house and I stayed there maybe for three hours. I was standing next to the killer of my father and I didn’t know that he was the killer of my father. When they told me I thought, I wanted maybe to take a glass and just break it and kill him, because it’s like a joke, when they said my father was jumping like a tiger and he laughed that guy, it was very painful to me because they make it like a joke. It’s something like, it was like somebody, when they got in the house they would kill a person maybe the whole family for nothing.
