After I took the Bacardi and coke I felt a kind of drunis
It is true I went to a house at Beef island and asked for water. Dont
remember the time.
I heard the rumour at the airport that Mrs. Rabsatt was dead. This
was after I came off the plane. I then went towards Beef island area.
When my sister called me Robert she said "look at him no". And I saw
that my finger was bleeding. She did not ask me where I got that blood from.
I can recollect now what happened between me and Mrs. Rabsatt.
I told Sgt. Malone that I took the rope out of my pocket and put it
around her neck. That is true. At that time I was standing in the doorway 10
between pool room and grocery. That door is very near to the street door.
I do not know if I got in the kitchen.
the grocery store.
When I stabbed Mrs. Rabsatt I was in
I told Sgt. Malone that she did not say anything when I stabbed her but
she fell down. That is true. I cannot remember what room Mrs. Rabsatt fell 15
in.
I told Sgt Malone she tried to grab me but I ducked.
When she tried to grab me I was at her back.
That is true.
I told Sgt. Malone that I was holding the end of the rope at the back
of her neck and Mrs. Evelyn said "Wait, wait what are you doing?"
That is true.

I told Sgt Malone that I told her to stop scandalising my name.
That
is true.
I do remember pulling the rope tight.
I weigh 140 pounds. I guess I did not feel Mrs. Rabsatt's weight. She did not grab me. When I ducked I did not have the knife in my hand. I cant remember if she put up a fight. I had the string in the left
pocket and the knife in the right front pocket.
