of “no injuries” on the Release Form seems to be questionable. Such
notation is wholly at variance with the medical reports which detailed a
plethora of injuries. Moreover, the evidence of Lovette Bryan seems to
us to be corroborative of Mr. Tomlinson’s evidence of brutality. His
nickname is “Thick Man” or “Tikka: and we believe that Mr. Tomlinson
was the person to whom she referred in her evidence as “Thick Man”.
However, in so far as we were unable to call Dr. Lawson as a witness
since we were advised that he now resides overseas, and despite
persistent efforts, we make no adverse finding against ACP Rose. We
recommend that Mr. Tomlinson’s case be further investigated.

Mrs. Bryce-Wilson said that about 3.00 p.m. to 4.00 p.m.:
“I felt something like water running down my stomach. I lift
up my blouse and, when I looked, I saw blood and a hole in
my breast. I tied my left breast.”

She said that she ran down steps to the ground floor and noticed
several soldiers with long guns. “I was bawling for help and Jesus”, she said.
Her brother opened the door and she dropped down on her side.

Soldiers entered the house and made the men lie face down and
tied their hands behind their backs. Her brother asked them to take her to
hospital but, said Mrs. Bryce-Wilson, “they beat him and tell him to shut up his
mouth”. A soldier got a lady to give her some tea.
