SSP Donovan Graham
7.83.
SSP Graham established a command post in the vicinity of Seprod.
He gave evidence of receiving “frantic calls about a female who was injured and
needed medical attention”. He said in relation to 25 May:
“I led a team and saw a woman in a yard behaving
frantically. We placed her on a sheet and sent her off to
hospital. I do not know her name and I got no report as to
how she came by her injuries. I did not inquire about her
name. I got no other calls for assistance.”
SSP. Graham said that in the plan for Operation Keywest, provision was made for
two trucks to remove dead bodies.

FINDINGS
7.85.
The planned measures that were taken, in the main by the
JDF, suggest that that Force had carried out risk assessments. This is
exemplified by the fact that, prior to 24 May, the JDF reinforced the
FEL to be operated by L/Cpl. McLennon in anticipation of a violent
armed attack. This prescience undoubtedly saved L/Cpl. McLennon’s
life. We have no reason to be critical of the decision of CDS Saunders
as to the date and time of the launch of the operation. The reasons
which he advanced and set forth by us at para.7.66 were thoughtful
and rational.
