She saw soldiers and police officers go into the house with him.
Fabian and Fernando were still across the road. Ms. Williams said she heard
shots go off and they sounded as if they came from #27 which adjoins her
property. She believes that Porridge Man was killed in his dwelling and she told
Diane that, if they killed Porridge Man, they would kill Fabian and Fernando.
Sometime after she heard gunshots next door, she saw police officers carry
Porridge Man’s body in a sheet from his dwelling.

Ms. Williams gave these descriptions of the way her sons and
Porridge Man were dressed:
“Porridge Man was in a white Tee Shirt. Fabian had on
orange slippers. I found one with blood sometime after. I
can’t recall if any of my boys were wearing white Tee shirts
but both were wearing shorts.”

Ms. Williams was positive that the police officers she saw were
masked. Under cross-examination by Mrs. Neita-Robertson, Ms. Williams agreed
that she had not mentioned in her witness statement that police officers were
masked, that they had told the boys that they were going to die, that Fernando
said the police had killed Fabian, that she had made no mention of Porridge Man.
Ms. Williams, however, explained to the Commission that she merely answered
questions put to her by the interviewer when she gave her witness statement.

Ms. Williams specifically denied that her sons were “shotters”, that
Fabian had been buried with his gun and, that she conspired with two soldiers
who gave evidence (Nos.1 and 3) to give untruthful testimony - a suggestion
that was never put to those soldiers. Fabian’s post mortem report shows that he
received six gunshot wounds, two of which damaged his heart, arteries and
lungs. In Fernando’s case, there were three gunshot wounds on his body and
the cause of death was lacerations to his heart, lungs and liver.
