About 6.30 a.m. on 25 May, Mr. Dacres heard Ms. Carol’s door
“start fi lick off”. All the persons at Ms. Carol’s went outside. He observed
Porridge Man “talking to 3 policemen and 1 soldier”. Mr. Dacres was ordered
togo to his home but he said he leant on the fence by the gate. The security
forces took “Porridge Man” inside Mr. Dacres house. He said:
“I hear gunshots coming from inside my house.”
9.61.
Then he heard a voice saying “go and lay down”, and he went and
lay on the corner of Dee Cee Avenue with about 6 other men. He said Marjorie
Williams’ brother told him that “Porridge Man” had just been killed. Mr. Dacres
then said:
“Lying on my hands I peeped up and saw the 3 police and 1
soldier drawing a body in a sheet from inside the house. I
saw a truck at the bottom of Dee Cee. It was a police truck.
I saw the police take the body and put it in a truck. I
recognise it was Kevin (Porridge Man).”

He said the security forces took him and the other men off the
ground and put them in the truck in which there were dead bodies. Two police
officers were sitting at the back of the truck. Mr. Dacres recognised the two
Grants in the truck and he saw “Porridge Man” with a gunshot wound to his
upper body. He related that he was allowed to get off the truck “with the other
fellows” and a black police vehicle took them to Seprod.
9.63.
Mr. Dacres said that when the police made him come outside at
first, the truck was parked by the garbage dump. At the time, he could not
discern whether there were dead bodies in the tray of the truck but, as he was
walking towards the truck, he saw bodies in it. He described “Porridge Man’s”
clothing on 25 May. While he was on the verandah, he was wearing short pants
and was shirtless. When Mr. Dacres saw him on the truck, he was wearing only
underwear.
