Collection of bodies began in earnest on 25 May about 5.30 a.m.

Sgt. Waugh took the bodies to Madden’s and returned to Tivoli Gardens. About
7.30 a.m. DSP Tabannah and two teams went inside Tivoli Gardens in response
to telephone calls from SSP Graham and SSP Budhoo that bodies were seen “all
over the place”. DSP Tabannah said –
“Pratt and Waugh told me that Mr. Graham had called them
to assist with removing the bodies. This was about 8.00
a.m. Waugh told me that he picked up twelve (12) and
Pratt said he picked up thirteen (13) from the entire Tivoli
Gardens.”
Cons. Maxwell was to record the location of bodies.

DSP Tabannah did not know whether a record was made. He said –
“Normally, there should have been a record of where bodies
were found made in the station diary. I do not know if it
was done. It ought to have been done. At Mobile Reserve,
on completion of an operation, all activities of the day are
recorded.”
DSP Tabannah said that Waugh and Pratt collected 27 bodies.
