NEW EVIDENCE IN ‘CRADOCK FOUR’ CASE

THE Truth Commission’s amnesty committee plans to hear an application by lawyers representing the “Cradock Four” to present new evidence in the amnesty application of seven former security policemen. Advocate George Bizos, who is representing the “Cradock Four”, will make the application next Monday in Port Elizabeth. The four were kidnapped at a roadblock outside Port Elizabeth and taken to the bushes where they were killed using shot guns and knives to cut their limbs and bodies. Applying for amnesty for the killings are Eric Taylor, Johannes Lotz, Nicholaas Van Rensburg, Harold Snyman (deceased), Johan Van Zyl, Hermanus Barend Du Plessis and Eugene De Kock.
