went to the National Arena in search of her husband and son. Those were
fruitless journeys.

A few days later, she identified the bodies of her husband and son
on a TV monitor at the Community Centre. Kirk was shown wearing plaid shorts
and a black Tee shirt; Dashard wore baggy blue jeans and a blue Tee shirt.
Mrs. Haughton-Allison’s husband was a security officer with Millennium Security
and her son was a trainee electrician.

Under cross-examination, Mrs. Haughton-Allison said that she did
not know that Millennium Security was operated by Coke. The post mortem
report on Kirk Allison shows that he received three gunshot wounds to his back,
damaging his lungs and important arteries and a wound that destroyed his right
femur. Death was due to gunshot wounds to his back, laceration of the left
carotid pulmonary arteries and his lungs. Dashard sustained four gunshot
wounds to the chest. Cause of death was due to gunshot wounds, haemorrhage
and shock.
FINDINGS
9.71.
There was no direct evidence of the circumstances of
Kirk Allison’s and Dashard Page’s deaths. We are satisfied, however,
that when Mrs. Haughton-Allison last saw them, they were alive and
under the protective custody of the security forces. No evidence was
led by either the JDF or JCF concerning the deaths of these two men.
But the post mortem reports provide powerful evidence that they were
shot and killed. The inferences are compelling that they must have
died at the hands of the security forces. The evidence suggests, at a
high level of probability, that criminal offences may have been
committed and we recommend that there be further investigation into
the deaths of Kirk Allison and Dashard Page.
