FORMER security policeman Michael Bellingan on Wednesday told the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s amnesty committee that he doubts former president FW de Klerk would have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize had he not murdered his wife, Janine Bellingnan. The Star reports that Bellingan told the committee he believes if he had not murdered Janine, and she had leaked information about his work and security branch operations as she had threatened, De Klerk would not have been honoured, the Pan Africanist Congress would not have suspended the armed struggle and setting the date for the 1994 elections would have been disrupted. Bellingan, who is applying for amnesty for bludgeoning his wife and strangling her in September 1991, did admit that his judgment may have been “slightly affected” by the stress of his work.
