In Chapter 10, we have reviewed the evidence of Sgts. Waugh and
Pratt and it is unnecessary to repeat it here except to mention that Sgt. Pratt
said that he received no reports of persons being shot and put on a truck on
25 May.

In his witness statement of 18 November 2010, Sgt. Pratt stated –
“Cons. Marlon Maxwell who was part of the team made a
note of the number of bodies that we found and the
locations where they were found and also the name of the
doctor and the time he pronounced them dead.”
Lt. Col. Jaimie Ogilvie
14.70.
On 25 May, Lt. Col. Ogilvie visited the troops of 1JR at their
locations. It was at this time that he saw “a number of bodies in Darling Street,
by MPM, Coronation Market, Regent Street, Beeston Street and behind Denham
Town School”. Lt. Col. Ogilvie said under cross-examination –
“By the end of 25 May, I got reports of 16 bodies within
1JR’s area of operation. They were removed on 26 May. I
had been pressing for them to be removed on 25 May. But
on 25 May, there was still gunfire in Hannah Town and
Denham Town. The bodies were removed in my area by the
funeral parlour. I was not satisfied with the pace of
removal. At the Regent St/North St area, I saw a dog trying
to smell a body and I instructed that a truck be got to drive
around, collect bodies and take them to Madden’s. By mid-
afternoon no bodies were in the area. Where the bodies
were found were not marked or delineated as crime scenes.”
